High velocity oxygen-fuel thermal spray coating of the WC-Co cermet material is a well-established process for modifying the surface properties of the structural components exposed to the corrosive and wear attacks, and also these coating are well-known method to improve the fatigue strength of material. In this study, HVOF coated SM490B are prepared to evaluation of the effect of coating on tension and fatigue crack growth behavior. The pre-crack of the fatigue crack growth test specimens machined at deposited material area, heat affected zone and boundary, respectively. Through these test, the following results are obtained: 1) Tensile strength was about 498 MPa, and fracture occurred on base metal area. 2) The fatigue crack of coated specimens propagated more rapidly than non-coated specimen in all specimens. 3) In the same coating thickness specimens, the specimens with pre-crack at boundary more rapidly propagated than the specimens with pre-crack at HAZ and deposited material area. These results can be used as basic data in a structural integrity evaluation of rolled SM490B weldments considering HVOF coating.

Different microstructures in the weld zone of a metal structure including a fusion zone and heat affected zone are formed as compared to the base material. Thus, the mechanical properties in the weld zone are different from those in the base material. As the basic data for reliably understanding the structural characteristics of welded nuclear material, the mechanical properties in the weld zone and base material for a Zircaloy-4 strap and Hastelloy${(R)}$-X alloy strap are measured using an instrumented indentation technique (IIT) in this study.

In this study, the residual stress and the acoustic emission Charactreistics from fatigue crack propagation were investigated, bused on the welded material of STS316L. The residual stress of welding locations could be evaluated by ultrasonic parameters, such as L$_{CR}$ wave velocity and L$_{CR}$ wave frequency； the residual stress between base metal and weld metal was evaluated. In the fatigue tests, three types of signals were observed, regardless of specimen condition, base metal, and weld metal. Based on NDE analysis of AE signals by the time-frequency analysis method, it should also be possible to evaluate, in real-time, the crack propagation and final fracture process, resulting from various damages and defects in welded structural members.

From the viewpoint of engineering applications, the prediction of the failure of bogies plays an important role in preventing the occurrence of fatigue. Fatigue is a complex phenomenon affected by many uncertainties (such as load, environment, geometrical and material properties, and so on). The key to predict fatigue damage accurately is how to quantify these uncertainties. A Bayesian model is used to account for the uncertainty of various sources when predicting fatigue damage of structural components. In spite of improvements in the design of fatigue-sensitive structures, periodic non-destructive inspections are required for components. With the help of modern nondestructive inspection techniques, the fatigue flaws can be detected for bogie structures, and fatigue reliability can be updated by using Bayesian theorem with inspection data. A practical fatigue analysis of welded bogies is utilized to testify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

The present work focuses on experimental and numerical performance of the ferrocement RC walls reinforced with welded steel mesh, expanded steel mesh, fiber glass mesh and tensar mesh individually. The experimental program comprised twelve RC walls having the dimensions of 450 mm×100 mm×1000 mm under concentric compression loadings. The studied variables are the type of reinforcing materials, the number of mesh layers and volume fraction of reinforcement. The main aim is to assess the influence of engaging the new inventive materials in reinforcing the composite RC walls. Non-linear finite element analysis; (NLFEA) was carried out to simulate the behavior of the composite walls employing ANSYS-10.0 Software. Parametric study is also demonstrated to check out the variables that can mainly influence the mechanical behavior of the model such as the change of wall dimensions. The obtained numerical results indicated the acceptable accuracy of FE simulations in the estimation of experimental values. In addition, the strength gained of specimens reinforced with welded steel mesh was higher by amount 40% compared with those reinforced with expanded steel mesh. Ferrocement specimens tested under axial compression loadings exhibit superior ultimate loads and energy absorbing capacity compared to the conventional reinforced concrete one.

An overhead travelling crane structure of two doubly symmetric welded box beams is designed for minimum cost. The rails are placed over the inner webs of box beams. The following design constraints are considered: local buckling of web and flange plates, fatigue of the butt K weld under rail and fatigue of fillet welds joining the transverse diaphragms to the box beams, fatigue of CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced plastic) laminate, deflection constraint. For the formulation of constraints the relatively new standard for cranes EN 13001-3-1 (2010) is used. To fulfill the deflection constraint CFRP strengthening should be used. The application of CFRP materials in strengthening of steel and concrete structures are widely used in civil engineering applications due to their unique advantages. In our study, we wanted to show how the mechanical properties of traditional materials can be improved by the application of composite materials and how advanced materials and new production technologies can be applied. In the optimization the following cost parts are considered: material, assembly and welding of the steel structure, material and fabrication cost of CFRP strengthening. The optimization is performed by systematic search using a MathCAD program.

Low cycle fatigue cracks are mainly detected at discontinuous welded locations with high stresses under repeated cyclic static loads due to cargo leading and unloading. Theoretical and analytical methods have been used for evaluation of local stress and strain which have an effect on a prediction of fatigue life, but those have difficulties of considering stress concentration at notched location and complicated material behavior of welded joint or heat affected zone. Electronic speckle pattern interferometry(ESPI) system is nondestructive and non-contact measurement system which can get the relatively accurate full field strain at critical positions such as welded zone and structural discontinuous location. In this study, local strain was measured on welded cruciform joint by ESPI system and then low cycle fatigue test was performed. Effect of local strain on low cycle fatigue life was examined by measured values using ESPI system. Moreover, experimental fatigue life was compared with established S-N curves using theoretical local strain and stress calculated by Neuber's rule.

용접은 대형구조물을 제작할 때 영구적 접합을 위해서 많이 사용하는 공정이다. 용접부는 용융부, 부분용융부, 열영향부로 나누어지며 각각의 영역들은 다른 재료물성을 가지게 된다. 또한 용접부는 용접비드 형상에 따라 기계적 신뢰성이 많이 차이 난다. 따라서 정밀한 구조해석을 수행하기 위해서는 이러한 국부적인 용접부의 특성을 잘 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 용접부의 효과적인 모델링 방법에 대하여 제안하고자 한다. 특히 하중을 받는 구조물에 잘 일어나는 세 가지 변형모드(인장모드, 굽힘모드, T-굽힘모드)에 대하여 용접부를 정밀하게 모델링하는 방법을 제안하였다. 대형구조물의 구조해석을 통하여 제안된 모델링 방법이 변형, 응력분포 등을 좀 더 정밀하게 묘사해 줌을 해석적으로 확인하였다.
