Combining welding technology with robotics, wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is
emerging as a viable method of construction. To facilitate its wider application, in particular …

High-strength steel wires are widely used in large-span bridges. Fatigue damage of steel
wires is becoming more and more prominent under adverse environment and repeated …

The Q690qENH weathering high-strength steel has a considerable potential for bridge
engineering due to its superior mechanical strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance …

High strength steel welded joints are usually fabricated by heterogeneous weld metal for
reducing the negative impacts of microstructural characteristics and defects on mechanical …

Fatigue fracture is a common failure mode of steel structure, and it usually leads to steel
structure failure. In this study, the fatigue damage of duplex 2205 stainless steel with …

The behavior of fatigue cracks in welded details of motor hangers is investigated through
crack growth numerical simulation under constant amplitude loading. The fatigue crack …

The fatigue crack growth of a weld toe on the upper arm of a pantograph was investigated to
predict the fatigue crack propagation life of the pantograph under normal and corrosive …

Ductile fracture preceding brittle fracture was observed in welded steel moment resisting
frames during past strong earthquakes. Studies on ductile fracture were mainly focused on …

Applying fracture mechanics theory to heterogeneous welded joints might lead to an
uncertain assessment of fatigue crack propagation behavior and, consequently, an …

Bridge weathering steel produced in China has been used in bridges worldwide. Bridge
weathering steel Q345qNH is the most common steel grade used in China and for export …
