Objective

Work to be carried out under this research project will include fatigue strength tests on thin steel sheets and components of steel sheet construction in order to determine materials strength properties for calculation and design. The investigations involve unwelded sheets as well as tailored blanks. Soft and higher strength forming materials in a range of thicknesses from 1 to 2.5 mm will be considered. Topics to be investigated that influence fatigue behaviour will include secondary bending due to the thickness differences of the welded sheets, deformation of the weld due to the deep drawing process, and multiaxial stresses.
