Stress and strain concentration factors of welded multiplanar tubular joints

The Fatigue Behaviour of Multiplanar Tubular Joints

Circular hollow sections are frequently used in structures subjected to fatigue loading such as bridges, offshore structures and cranes. These sections are generally connected by direct welding of the sections to each other. For the design of these welded connections, information is required on the fatigue behaviour. Especially for multiplanar...

The Fatigue Behaviour of T- and X-Joints Made of Square Hollow Sections

This work presents the results of experimental and numerical research on the fatigue behaviour of T- and X-joints between square hollow sections of which the brace is welded to the face of the chord, without any additional stiffeners. The work has been carried out in the framework of the CIDECT programme 7K "Fatigue behaviour ofuniplanar joints"...
