The Effect of Vibration during Welding on the Fatigue Strength of Weldment

Vibration occurs due to the wind and vehicles, etc., in the field welded joints of steel bridges. However, the effect of vibration on the fatigue strength of field welded joints in steel bridge are not yet clearly understood. In this paper, the effect of vibration on the fatigue strength of welded joints was elucidated in order to improve reliability in the field welded joints of steel bridge. The base material used in this investigation was SM 490A steel of weldable grade. Flux Cored Arc Welding(FCAW) process was used to fabricate the doubte 'V' butt joints. Welding was performed on the steel under the mechanical vibration of given frequency. The applied frequency was resonant frequency. Also, weldments formed under no vibration were fabricated. Fatigue tests were conducted using a servo hydraulic controlled 50ton1 capacity UTM with a frequency of 5Hz under constant amplitude loading.
