Prediction of structural behaviour on the basis of small scale specimen testing - press

Objetivo

There is a large potential for the use of modern high strength steels in building and construction as well as offshore industry. Whilst the base material properties can be demonstrated to be superior, in general, the weakest link in the utilisation of high strength steels is the properties of their welds. The objective of this research project will be in the quantitative description of the transferability of small scale test results to welded structural components incorporating modified material models for brittle fracture, strength heterogeneity of the materials in welds and geometrical constraint. The economical aspects of the project are time and cost savings. They can be achieved by replacing full size fracture mechanics testing with testing of small scale specimens and by using newly established computer routines to transfer the results to a real weld situation in a structure.
