Cascella, Roberto (author)Welding is a widely used process in various industries for joining materials, but it can introduce several complexities that affect the mechanical properties of the welded components. In particular, the presence of pores within the welded material can have significant implications for fatigue resistance, residual stresses, and overall structural...master thesis 2023

Coraddu, A. (author), Oneto, Luca (author), Li, Shen (author), Kalikatzarakis, Miltiadis (author), Karpenko, O. (author)In this paper, for the first time, a three-step approach for the optimal design of stiffened panels accounting for the ultimate limit state due to welding residual stress is developed. First, authors rely on state-of-the-art analytical approaches coupled with recently data-driven nonlinear finite element methods surrogates characterized by...journal article 2023

Omari, Firas (author)The use of welding is widely adopted to assemble structural components in the construction industry for many years. To ensure safety of these welded components, many fatigue tests have been conducted on many different shapes and configurations of welded connections to precisely assess the fatigue<br/>life. However, testing real-size structures...master thesis 2022

Maarleveld, Arvid (author)Welded details in orthotropic steel decks (OSD) are susceptible to fatigue cracks which are caused by local weld defects, geometric stress concentrations and residual tensile stresses. Residual tensile stresses are formed during the welding process and the distribution depends on many factors. Knowledge about the residual stress distribution is...master thesis 2022

Baar, Simon (author), Pavlov, Leonid (author), Kassapoglou, C. (author)Onset Theory (previously known as Strain Invariant Failure Theory) is a physics-based composite failure criterion attempting to predict failure at the level of constituents rather than for a homogenized ply. Applying Onset Theory correctly requires a number of steps. As a starting point for other researchers, a consistent approach is...journal article 2022

Maarleveld, Arvid (author), Malschaert, D.H. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)Orthotropic bridge decks are susceptible to fatigue cracks which are influenced by the thickness of their components, welding procedure, type of the weld, the position of the considered detail in relation to the local loading condition and by residual stresses due to welding. The above-mentioned parameters determine the detail category for...conference paper 2022

Schaper, Lukas (author), Tankova, T. (author), da Silva, Luís Simões (author), Knobloch, Markus (author)Residual stresses have considerable effect on both the local and the member stability behaviour of steel structures. Previous studies have shown that the structural stability behaviour depends on both the distribution and the amplitude of the residual stresses. The residual stress distribution is affected by the cross-section geometry, the...journal article 2022

Li, Shen (author), Coraddu, A. (author), Oneto, Luca (author)Ultimate limit state (ULS) assessment examines the maximum load-carrying capacity of structures considering inelastic buckling failure. Contrary to the traditional allowable stress principle which is mainly based on experiences, the ULS assessment focuses on explicitly evaluating the structural safety margin and thus enables a consistent...journal article 2022

van den Berg, Niels (author), Xin, H. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)Orthotropic steel decks (OSD's) are susceptible to fatigue failure due to cyclic loading. Often fatigue cracks are found in the joint between the deck plate and the trough. Due to the welding process, residual stresses are present in and around the joint. In this paper, the effect of residual stresses on the fatigue crack propagation rate has...journal article 2021

Eivani, A.R. (author), Vafaeenezhad, H. (author), Jafarian, H. R. (author), Zhou, J. (author)The faults in welding design and process every so often yield defective parts during friction stir welding (FSW). The development of numerical approaches including the finite element method (FEM) provides a way to draw a process paradigm before any physical implementation. It is not practical to simulate all possible designs to identify the...journal article 2021

Shakeri, Iman (author), Shahani, Amir Reza (author), Rans, C.D. (author)Since welded joints in structures are known to be critical regions for crack initiation and growth, study of fatigue crack growth behavior of welded joints under various loading scenarios are essential. In present study, two groups of experiments were conducted. At first, fatigue crack growth behavior of Al5083 butt welded joint subjected to...journal article 2021
