چکیده
A crack detection (CD) paint was applied to weld lines of a transverse rib welded joint specimen of a rolled steel for welded structures, and the effects of the paint on visual detection of fatigue cracks were evaluated by performing a fatigue test. Remarkable color development was observed in the CD paint when fatigue cracks propagated along the weld toe lines. At intervals in the fatigue test, surface SH (Secondary Horizontal) wave tests were also carried out in order to confirm the existence of fatigue cracks, and the test results were compared with the color development in the CD paint.

Automatic Detection and Localization of Surface Cracks in Continuously Cast Hot Steel Slabs Using Digital Image Analysis Techniques
Quality inspection is an indispensable part of modern industrial manufacturing. Steel as a major industry requires constant surveillance and supervision through its various stages of production. Continuous casting is a critical step in the steel manufacturing process in which molten steel is solidified into a semi-finished product called slab. Once the slab is released from the casting unit, th...
متن کاملEvaluating Weld Magnification Factor in Welded Tubular Joints Using Artifitial Neural Networks
In welded tubular joints, when the fatigue crack depth is less than 20% of chord wall thickness, the crack growing process is highly affected by weld geometry.
 Hence, T-butt solution and weld magnification factor (Mk) are applicable tools for evaluating the crack growth rate in this domain. In this research, the capability of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for estimating the Mk of weld toe...

متن کاملINVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF CRACK GEOMETRIES AND WELD MISMATCHING IN ORDER TO OPTIMIZE ECA ANALYSIS OF GIRTH WELDED OFFSHORE PIPELINES
Offshore pipelines are an effective tool for transportation of oil and gas which are usually assembled by the use of girth welds. Since flaws may naturally exist at such welds, fracture assessment of girth welded offshore pipelines is substantial. Current fracture assessment procedures like BS 7910 consider identical material properties for the weld and the base metals. However the strength dif...
متن کاملUsing Pattern Search Algorithm and Finite Element Method to Detect Rotor Cracks
The vibration pattern of a rotor system reflects the mechanical parameter changes in the system. Hence, the use of vibration monitoring is considered as a possible means of detecting the presence and growth of the cracks. In this paper, a pattern search based method for shaft crack detection is proposed and described which formulates the shaft crack detection as an optimization problem by means...
