In this study, we research the influence of butt-welded joints in high tension bolted joints on the static and fatigue strength. As a results, if it's located inside or outside of the friction surface, the fatigue strength decrease, and the decrease of fatigue strength is greater in cases that the butt-welded joints exist outside of the friction surface. But the influence of butt-welded joint on the fatigue strength satisfies category B of the Specifications.

대부분의 강구조물에서 주부재를 연결하는 경우 강재중량의 감소를 도모하거나 구조물의 미관을 고려해서 맞대기 용접이음방법을 주로 적용하고 있다. 일반적으로 횡방향 맞대기 용접부에서 발생할 수 있는 용접결함의 예로써는 그림1∼그림 3에서 알 수 있는 바와 같이 용입부족, 용융불량 등과 같은 평면적 결함과 공동, 슬래그혼입 등과 같은 입체적 결함을 거론할 수 있다. (중략)

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) piping, which has recently been applied to safety class III piping in nuclear power plants, can be butt-joined through the thermal fusion process, which heats two fused surfaces and then subject to axial pressure. The thermal fusion process generates bead shapes on the butt fusion. The stress concentrations caused by the bead shapes may reduce the fatigue lifetime. Thus, investigating the effect of the thermal butt fusion beads on fatigue behavior is necessary. This study examined the fatigue behavior of thermal butt fusion via a tensile fatigue test under stress-controlled conditions using finite element elastic stress analysis. Based on the results, the presence of thermal butt fusion beads was confirmed to reduce the fatigue lifetime in the low-cycle fatigue region while having a negligible effect in the medium- and high-cycle fatigue regions.

In this study, blowholes, a kind of solid defects, were intentionally introduced in transverse butt-welded joints which are widely used for the connection of main members in steel structures to evaluate the fatigue characteristics of these joints with blowholes according to the difference of the size and shape of blowholes, and a series of tests were performed. Static test results proved that the static strength of these joints with blowholes was not affected by their size and shape. From the fatigue test results on these joints with blowholes, the size and shape of blowholes inside the weld metals were strongly affected in fatigue strength, and we suggested the relationship between fatigue strength and their size and shape quantitatively. Also, Using the relationship of fatigue crack growth rate and stress intensity factor range, the fatigue life of transverse butt-welded joints with blowholes can be estimated properly.

선박건조의 탑재공정에 있어서 용접장이 긴 후판 맞대기 용접에는 SAW가 대부분 적용되고 있지만 컨테이너 운반선의 UPPER DECK나 HATCH COAMING TOP PLATE 같은 경우 용접장이 짧고 작업공간이 협소하여 SAW가 적용되지 못하고 있다. (중략)

PVC(Polyvinyl Chloride)와 HDPE(High-density Polyethlene) 하수도관은 수많은 고분자 재료 중에도 높은 기계적 강도를 가지며, 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 하지만, PVC와 HDPE 하수관을 연결하기 위해 소모 접착제나 고무링 이용한 소켓 방법 이음 방법은 낮은 수밀성과 기계적 강도로 오 폐수의 누수가 발생되고, 이것이 흙에 스며들어 지하수, 하천 및 토양을 오염시키고 있다. 따라서, 대안으로 최근에는 열판을 이용한 맞대기 융착 용접을 PE 하수도 관에 제한적으로 적용하여 시공하고 있다. 그러나, PVC 하수관은 열을 가할 시 열에 의한 민감한 거동으로 인해 맞대기 융착 용접법이 적용되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하수도 관 중, 국내에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 내 충격 PVC 하수도관과 HDPE 이중 벽관의 DSC(Diffential Scanning Calorimeter), TGA(Thermogravimetric analyzer), TMA(Thermomechanical Analysis), DMA(Dynamic Mechanical Analysis) 분석으로 온도에 따른 열적 거동을 분석하여, 적절한 융착 온도 조건을 제시하였다. 또한 접합강도 향상을 위한 이음부 설계를 제안하여, 융착 용접 특성을 평가하였다.

This paper presents the stress distribution of the damaged butt joint of steel plate using CFRP laminates when the flange in tension zone of steel box girder is welded by butt welding. When CFRP sheets are patched on tension flange of steel-box girder, the stress distribution of a vertical and normal direction on damaged welding part is shown as parameters such as a variation of the thickness of adhesive, the overlap length with steel, and the modulus of elasticity of CFRP sheets. For the study, we wrote the computer program using the EAS(Enhanced assumed strain) finite element method for plane strain that has a very fast convergency and exact stress for distorted shape.

In pressurized water nuclear reactors, dissimilar metal welds are susceptible to primary water stress corrosion cracking. To access this problem, accurate estimation of welding residual stresses is important. This paper provides general welding residual stress profiles in dissimilar metal nozzle butt welds using finite element analysis. By introducing a simplified shape for dissimilar metal nozzle butt welds, changes in the welding residual stress distribution can be seen using a geometry variable. Based on the results, a welding residual stress profile for dissimilar metal nozzle butt welds is proposed that modifies the existing welding residual stress profile for austenitic pipe butt welds.

This study presents results of an experimental investigation of the laser-arc, hybrid, butt welding process of SS400 structural steel. Welding parameters including laser power, welding current and speed were varied in order to obtain one-pass, full-penetration welds without defects. The conditions that resulted in optimal beads were identified. After welding, hardness measurements and microstructure observations were carried out in order to study weld properties. The mechanical properties of both the base material and welded specimen were compared based on the results of tensile strength measurements. The yield and tensile strengths were found to be similar.

The behavior of angular distortion in butt joint wleding of thin plate structure is investigated with an experimental model and partially with a computational model. The experimental model studying the effects of specimene size and degree of restraint on the angular distorion offers a good method for analyzing the behavior of the distrotion. In addition, the distrotion during welding was demonstrated by both experimental measurement and numericla prediciton. The facts evealed in this study are as follows : 1) distrotion angles were changed with variations of specimene wldth. 2) With the restraint, angular distrotion was reduced to 20% to that of free joint. 3) After the restraint being removed, the effect of restraint was also remained. 4) Same heat input per unit thickness caused same amount of distortion. 5) The mode of angular distortion was expected to be changed with expected to be changed with time, i.e. convex movement during heating and concave one during cooling.
