Results show that： （1） under the same test conditions, all the joints exhibit lower LCF lifetime than Ti-6A1-4V; （2） the failure of welded structures is mainly ascribed to the welding defect. A novel lifetime prediction methodology based on continuum damage mechanics is proposed to predict the lifetime of Ti-6A1-4V and its welded joints.展开更多

Systematic prediction of structural integrity of critical structures such ascombustion chambers,pressure vessels,nuclear reactor components,boilers etc.,ensures the human safety,environmental protection,and the economical considerations.The present work aims at prediction of fatigue behaviour of symmetric structures like pressure vessels in the presence of common welding defects such as lack of fusion( LOF),lack of penetration( LOP) and porosity.A ring type specimen which replicates the stress pattern in thepressure vessel is considered for the study of severity of weld imperfections. Initial dimensions of weld defects are arrived by performing NDT inspection.Crack growth analysis is carried out to determine the remaining life of the welded joint with defects.展开更多

As the result of the superposition of vibration load and welding residual stress, the stress amplitude is reduced slightly in high stress area near the welding line, while the value of stress reduction becomes larger when the welding current increases. On the contrary, the stress amplitude is increased clearly far from the welding line. The welding residual stress obviously reduced the fatigue life of ship structure with the vibration load. The fatigue lives of ship structures under vibration are - 1.75 × 105 （ 110 000 ton product carrier） and - 2.43 × 105 （52 000 ton all-purpose cargo ship） without welding residual stress, while the residual stress exists, the fatigue life is down to - 3 × 104.展开更多
