In this study, it was investigated the distribution of residual stress in the direction of loading between the root and toe the load fillet welds for thick steel plate. Residual stress distributions are measured by sectioning method which is one of stress-relaxation technique in welded joint, and analyzed by two dimensional finite element method on thermo-elasto-plastic theory under plane stress condition. These are compared the results of F.E.M analysis with the experimental result by stress-relaxation techniques. As a results, the following conclusion were obtained. (1) In the no penetration fillet welded joint specimen using mild steel plate with 25mm in thickness, the residual stress of loading direction near the root was about $10kg/mm^2$ tensile. (2) The tensile residual stress has been observed in fillet region of the fillet joint by F.E.M. analysis method. (3) The range of compressive residual stress distribution from the root was largest in the case of 5mm root penetration.

In this paper, a simplified ultrasonic CT system, which uses the information in three directions, that is, 90°, ＋45° and －45°about the inspection plane, is applied to the high strength steel, and the frequency analysis method for enhancing the C scan or CT image is developed. This frequency analysis method is based on the frequency response property of the material. By comparing the magnitudes in the frequency domain, the special frequency which shows a significant difference between the welded joint and base material was found and used to obtain a C scan or CT image. Experimental results for several kinds of specimens, having a welded joint by electron beam welding, a weld joint by arc welding, on a fatigue crack, showed that the obtained C scan or CT image has better resolution than the results of previous experiments using the maximum value of the received waveform.

In track a third weakness point is joint part, turnout part, curve part. One of them joint part of rail have been known to the most weak point by loosen of joint bar and fish bolt due to impulse and vibration by wheel contact at times. In addition happen to deformation and failure at end of rail, failure and miniature of ballast gravel. Finally impact between wheel and rail become origin cause of a welded rail, noise and vibration. riding condition deterioration, besides track failure. In the present domestic, Thermite and Gas pressure weldings have been used to continuous welded rail(CWR), however stiffness and confidence in quality is lower than Flash butt welding method. FRW have the excellent capacity, however have a shortcoming large scale of machine and power equipment. Therefore we will introduce Mobile Flash Butt Welder can weld in track.

Several fatigue damages have recently been reported which cannot be resolved in the context of the existing fatigue design procedure, and they are suspected to be the cracks induced by the low cycle fatigue mechanism. To tackle the problem, a series of material tests together with fatigue tests have been carried out, and elasto-plastic notch strain analysis using nonlinear kinematic hardening model has been performed. The cyclic stress-strain curves are obtained and the nonlinear kinematic hardening model was calibrated based on the obtained material data. Also, the fatigue test with non-load-carrying cruciform fillet welded joint has been performed in low cycle fatigue regime. Then, the notch strain analyses have been carried out to find the precise elasto-plastic behavior of the material at the notch root of the cruciform joint. The variation of the material property from the base metal via HAZ up to the weld metal was taken into account using spatial variation of the material property. Then the detail elasto-plastic behavior of the welded joint subjected to the repeated cyclic loading has been investigated further through the comparison with the prediction with Neuber's rule. The calibration of the nonlinear kinematic hardening model and nonlinear notch strain analyses have been performed using the commercial FE program ABAQUS.

In general, structures have various joints such as bonded joint, bolted joint, bearing joint and welded joint. Dynamic modelling of such joints has been the current topic of interest. In this study, the dynamic modelling of plate structures with bonded joint was investigated by using modal testing, sensitivity analysis and condensation-inverse condensation method of FEM. A proper modelling procedure was proposed and the validity was verified.

This article aims to analytically research for influence of residual stresses on bending moment responses against welded steel pipes subjected to quasi -static or dynamic loadings. The residual stresses of the welded steel pipe are computed by three-dimensional welding simulation. The bending moment responses of the welded and seamless steel pipes are determined by using three-dimensional dynamic elastoplastic FE analysis as a function of loading rate. It is seen from analytical results that the welded steel pipe shows lower moment response comparing to the seamless steel pipe, and moment difference between seamless and welded steel pipes tends to decrease as loading rate increases.

In this study, a series of fatigue tests was conducted to evaluate fatigue strength for the root gap difference with high strength steel with butt welded joints. A finite element analysis using effective notch stress method was also performed to compare effective notch factors each other with butt welded specimens made by copper backing. The results of fatigue tests were classified according to the root gap difference. Fatigue life of butt welded specimens is presented for determining the root gap of high strength steel with butt welded joints in terms of fatigue strength. Then effective notch stress was applied to interpret fatigue strength of butt welded specimen model which is reflected actual measured dimensions. As a result, fatigue strength of high strength steel with butt welded specimens is increased by root gap gets longer in length.

The welded joint of the rail of railroad had shown the complicated behaviour of fatigue crack growth due to the effect of low toughness, residual stress, welding stress and strain etc. resulting from welding. Also, the welding connection has been necessary as making longer the rail, thus fatique fracture has often occurred at welded joints. From above, in this paper, faigue test was done at base metal, gas pressure and thermit welded joints to give the basic data to construct S-N diagrams. From this, it was known that the base metal was better than welded joint and gas pressure better than thermit welded joints in the resistance against the behaviour of fatigue crack growth. And it was also found that it is very dangerous to control fracture only by the method of material mechanics.

Parts and structures such as piston rod and knuckle joint for the use of hydraulic cylinder are often welded together in some fashion, usually due to cost and process effectiveness. Welding strongly affects the material by the process of heating and subsequent cooling as well as by the fusion process with additional filler material. Furthermore, a weld is usually far from being perfect, containing inclusions, pores, cavities, undercuts etc. As a consequence, fatigue failures appear in welded structures mostly at the welds rather than in the base metal, even if the latter contains notches. For this reason, fatigue analyses are of high practical interest for all welded structures under the action of cyclic loads. This paper describes the influence of welding parameters, material combinations and heat treatment on the fatigue behavior of welded cylinder rod. In addition, statistical characterization of stress-life response in weldment of hydraulic cylinder rod are presented.

In this study, fatigue strength of load-carrying cruciform fillet welded joints were evaluated using a new method proposed by Yamada, for geometric or structural stress in welded joint, that is, one-millimeter stress below the surface in the direction corresponding to the expected crack path. Validity of the method is verified by analyzing fatigue test results for load-carrying cruciform welded specimens has different size of weld toe radius, leg length and plate thickness reported in literature. Structural stress concentration factor for 1mm below the surface was calculated by finite element analysis for each specimen respectively. When compared to the basic fatigue resistance curve offered by BS7608, the one-millimeter stress method shows conservative evaluation for load-carrying cruciform fillet welded joints.
