Shakeri, I. (author), Wu, W. (author), Michel, Alexander (author), Eder, Martin A. (author)The present study proposes a novel model to modify master S-N curves of components according to their load redistribution capability reflected in different boundary conditions (BCs) based on the fracture mechanics analysis. To that end, a comprehensive numerical study was conducted on a Single Edge Notch Bend (SENB) specimen constrained with...journal article 2024

Giesen, Stefan (author)Fatigue might be the governing limit state in marine structures mainly induced by the waves and wind. Therefore, using a lap joint for the shell plating to replicate the appearance of a riveted joint for a retro yacht is critical due to the limited fatigue resistance. For this joint type cracks initiated at the root, which should always be...master thesis 2023

Liu, Xinmiao (author)Fatigue is typically a governing limit state for maritime structures, and weld joints are the most critical locations. Various fatigue damage criteria have been developed involving either an intact or cracked geometry parameter, incorporating local or global information. In this thesis, the effective notch stress based total life fatigue damage...master thesis 2022

Korakas, Ntonalnt (author)In this thesis an investigation into the buckling behaviour of steel trusses with eccentric joints is performed.<br/>In recent years, Ampelmann motion compensated gangway systems have been pivotal to the advancement of offshore personnel transfers. These systems for functionality reasons require the use of eccentric joints. The behaviour of such...master thesis 2022

Bufalari, G. (author), den Besten, J.H. (author), Kaminski, M.L. (author)The predominant mode-I response of maritime structures can be multiaxial, involving out-of-plane mode-III shear components. Semi-analytical mode-III notch stress distribution formulations have been established for critical details like welded T-joints and cruciform joints, reflecting (non-)symmetry with respect to half the plate thickness....journal article 2022

He, P. (author), Pavlovic, M. (author)The concept of an innovative bonded joining technology where welding is not required is presented as an alternative to traditional welded connection for steel circular hollow section (CHS). Wrapped composite joints have potential to greatly improve fatigue endurance when applied in multi-membered truss structures, e.g. offshore jackets for...journal article 2022

van Essen, Koen (author)Fatigue strength is typically a governing limit state for marine structures. Predicting an accurate fatigue lifetime is important for structures (e.g. wind turbines) that are supposed to be out at sea for decades. It is valuable for all type of structures that encounter stochastic sea loadings to optimise the design so that fatigue failure is...master thesis 2021

Deul, Marije (author)The current fatigue assessment methods for naval ships are intentionally conservative. This is in part due to uncertainties in the fatigue capacity (i.e. fatigue resistance) of the ship: the nominal and hot spot structural stress incorporate implicit conservatism due to the inherent data-scatter and the Linear Damage Accumulation Model (LDAM) by...master thesis 2021

Qin, Y. (author), den Besten, J.H. (author), Palkar, S.S. (author), Kaminski, M.L. (author)The characteristic far field response spectrum of welded joints – the governing fatigue sensitive locations in steel marine structures – is predominantly linear elastic, meaning mid- and high-cycle fatigue (MCF and HCF) is most important for design. Using the effective notch stress- and the total stress concept, involving respectively S<sub>e...journal article 2021

Feng, W. (author), Pavlovic, M. (author)Design and execution of fatigue load dominated circular hollow section (CHS) multi-membered structures, such as offshore jacket and floating structures for wind turbines, truss bridges, etc., is hinged on fatigue performance of critical welded joints. An innovative jointing technology of wrapped composite joint connects steel hollow sections by...journal article 2021

Shahani, Amir Reza (author), Shakeri, Iman (author), Rans, C.D. (author)Redistribution of residual stress during crack growth in butt welded joint of Al5083-H111 was studied. Furthermore, the effect of post weld heat treatment and removing the weld reinforcements on fatigue crack growth rate was investigated. Three dimensional simulations of welding process and fatigue crack growth were conducted. It was shown...journal article 2020

van Lieshout, P.S. (author)Structural geometry and stochastic loads such as swell and wind seas can typically induce multiaxial stress states in welded details of marine structures. It is known that such complex time varying stress states determine the fatigue resistance of welded steel joints. Therefore, it is of importance to account for them in fatigue lifetime...doctoral thesis 2020

Zhao, T. (author), Tsakoniatis, Ioannis (author), Rans, C.D. (author), Villegas, I.F. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Thermoplastic composite spot welded joints are more well-suited for carrying shear load rather than peel load. However, peel load is difficult to be eliminated in single-lap joint configuration. In this paper, a series of mechanical tests were carried out to study the effects of the spot spacing and the number of welded spots on the secondary...conference paper 2020
