Prediction of the fatigue life of a box weldment with residual stress
잔류응력을 고려한 box 용접부의 피로수명 예측
Abstract
Fatigue life a box weldment was predicted with the stress concentration and residual stress using the equation reported. In order to change the stress concentration and residual stress of the box weldment, Post treatments such as smooth grinding of weld bead, weld toe grinding and hammer peening were applied. The fatigue life of the weldment after post treatment clearly increased, which is attributed to the reduction of stress concentration and/or introduction of compressive residual stress at the weld toe. The predicted fatigue life was a relatively good agreement with the experiment for a long fatigue life, while it was underestimated for a short fatigue life.
