A review is provided of various approaches that have been adopted recently to assess the
fatigue of ships and offshore structures. The relevant fatigue loading is reviewed first …

Welded joints are widely used to connect structural components in steel truss bridges. Weld
residual stresses (WRS) and weld residual stresses relaxation (WRSR) have notable …

The development of transportation infrastructures stimulates increasingly more welded steel
bridges in cold and severe cold regions in China. The low temperature there imposes …

Bridge weathering steel produced in China has been employed in bridges worldwide,
among them Q345qNH is the most commonly used steel grade. Fatigue behavior of …

Fatigue test on laser clad AISI 4340 steel specimens show that multiple surface cracks
initiate from the clad-toe region due to clad bead overlap features deposited in a raster scan …

An approach is presented, based on the weight function method to calculate the stress
intensity factors of semielliptical surface cracks originating from the notch root of welded …

This study considers the effect of bending loading and the symmetry of joints on the fatigue
strength of transverse non‐load carrying attachments. Conventionally, the fatigue strength of …

Bridge weathering steel produced in China is being increasingly employed in bridges
worldwide, Q345qNH is among the most commonly used steel grades. Fatigue behavior of …

When for steel liners of pressure tunnels and shafts high-strength steels are used, welded
joints are subject to the risk of hydrogen induced cold-cracking in the base material …

British Standard 7910: 2013 includes a single set of equations for estimating the weld toe
magnification factor (Mk) of different types of welded joints with a semi‐elliptical surface …
