Abstract: We present a new and simplified method of estimating residual stress in welded structures by using inherent strain. The method makes use of elastic analysis by means of the finite element ...

Abstract: For the purpose of investigating vibration characteristics and fatigue strength of a socket-welded joint, a piping system was mocked-up by assembling a straight pipe of 350 mm nominal diameter ...

Abstract: In this paper, some basic properties of homogeneous charge compression ignition operation are reported. The effect of inlet temperature, compression ratio and engine speed on the homogeneous ...

Abstract: Three-dimensional scans of residual stress within intact weldments provide insight into the consequences of various welding techniques and stress-relieving procedures. The neutron diffraction method ...

Abstract: Four-point bending and rotating bending fatigue tests were conducted on socket-welded joints made of carbon, stainless, and Cr-Mo steels for clarification of the effects of diameter, welding pass ...

Abstract: The authors conducted fully reversed four-point bending fatigue tests on socket-welded joints 20 to 50 mm in nominal diameter, and rotating bending fatigue tests on socket-welded joints 20 mm ...
