    Residual stress in welds is a critical factor influencing the fatigue strength of welded joints. Understanding the residual stress distribution, both on the surface and within the interior of the plates, is essential for improving the accuracy of fatigue strength evaluations in welded joints. This study aims to numerically evaluate the through-thickness residual stress at the weld toe of T-joints using the slitting method. This approach involves welding simulation, slitting simulation, and fracture mechanics to investigate the relationship between the internal residual stress and the strain changes on the plate surface near the weld toe, which occur due to stress relief during the slitting process. The results indicate that the through-thickness residual stress distributions estimated through the slitting method are consistent with those initially present in the welded joint, even under varying conditions such as different initial residual stress distributions, geometrical parameters of the joint (e.g., plate thickness, weld size), and slitting conditions (e.g., slit width and location, cutting depth ratio). Furthermore, this study identifies an optimal slitting strategy, which enhances the accuracy of residual stress evaluation.

    Orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) are widely used for long-span bridges or urban expressways because they are lightweight and allow rapid construction. However, an OSD designed according to Japanese specifications for highway bridges has several issues. For example, an OSD with closed ribs (CRD) requires a minimum deck plate thickness of 16 mm, but it has been revealed that this does not completely prevent fatigue crack initiation from the weld root in the rib to deck plate welded joints under heavy traffic loads. In contrast, an OSD with open ribs (ORD) has fewer fatigue problems, but the dead load (steel weight) and manufacturing cost tend to be higher due to the smaller spacing between transverse ribs compared to CRDs. This study investigated improved OSD structures that ensure fatigue durability while reducing the dead load and manufacturing cost.
    For a conventional CRD, two improved structures were designed that reduce stress at both the cross-beam intersection and general section by reducing the width and spacing of U-ribs, even with a thinner deck plate. The improved CRDs reduced the steel weight compared to a conventional CRD, and had a similar manufacturing cost.
    For a conventional ORD, an improved structure was designed that expands the cross-beam spacing to 4.0 m by using L-shaped steel for longitudinal ribs. The improved ORD reduced both the steel weight and manufacturing cost compared to those for a conventional ORD.

  3. Investigation on the rational cut-out shape for fatigue countermeasure in vertical stiffeners of orthotropic steel decks Reviewed

    In orthotropic steel bridge decks, many fatigue cracks have been found at the weld joint between deck plate and vertical stiffeners. As a countermeasure for the fatigue crack, semi-circular cut-out is introduced in the top of vertical stiffener to reduce the stress concentration around boxing weld. However, more effective cut-out geometry should be considered from viewpoint of fatigue improvement and constructability. In this study, stress reductions were investigated for newly developed slit-like cut-out and sigma-shaped cut-out.
    For various cut-out shapes, the stress reductions were investigated from finite element analysis. Significant reduction in stress was found when the cut-out length was long and the distance from the upper edge of the cut-out to the bottom surface of the deck plate was short. Fatigue life extension was verified through fatigue tests on a welded joint specimen consisting of deck plate and vertical stiffeners. A cut-out dimensions were adopted as 20mm from the upper edge of the cut-out to the bottom surface of the deck plate, a length of 118.5 mm, and a hole diameter of 100 mm. As a result, the fatigue life extension for welded joint between deck plate and vertical stiffener at the crack initiation stage was more than 12 times that of a specimen without a cut-out. In addition, crack propagation was also retarded after introducing the cut-out in the vertical stiffener.

    In this study, fatigue tests and finite element analyses were conducted on T joints using various new welding materials to investigate the effect of enhancing fatigue strength through the application of unconventional welding materials, which are not commonly used in steel bridges. The results revealed that low transformation temperature welding materials reduced the tensile residual stress around the weld, leading to the improvement of fatigue strength. Additionally, it was found that applying additional welding method with a newly developed material for Ar-shielded MIG welding decreased stress concentration at the weld toe, resulting the improvement of fatigue strength.

  5. Fatigue strength improvement by induction heating against weld root failure in out-of-plane gusset welded joints Reviewed

    This study investigated the improvement of fatigue strength at the weld root in out-of-plane gusset welded joints by induction heating (IH). IH works by locally heating the object with coils energized by high-frequency AC power, which can alter the residual stress distribution.
    This study specifically focused on introducing tensile residual stress by locally heating the area around the boxing weld, thereby redistributing the residual stresses to introduce compressive residual stresses at the weld. This process helps transform the tensile residual stresses introduced during welding into compressive residual stresses, thus improving the fatigue strength of welded joints. Unlike other methods such as weld toe treatment, IH does not need to treat the potential crack initiation site directly, making it a promising approach for improving fatigue strength at the weld root.
    The improvement in fatigue strength by IH was verified using fatigue tests under out-of-plane bending loads with a vibration-type fatigue testing machine. The results showed that the fatigue strength of the IH-treated specimens was higher than that of the specimens in the as-welded state.
    Further numerical investigation based on finite element analysis to reproduce the welding and IH treatment clarified the residual stress distributions around the weld. Additionally, residual stress measurements were carried out using the X-ray diffraction method. These results confirmed that IH can reduce residual stress at the weld and introduce compressive residual stress to the weld root, which is consistent with the fatigue strength improvement against weld root failure obtained in the fatigue tests.

    本研究では,すみ肉溶接継手のルートから発生する疲労き裂を対象に,その疲労寿命推定手法を確立することを目的とする.寿命推定に用いる応力として,ルートに仮想的に設けたノッチに生じる応力を用いることを検討する.実際のルート形状の観察結果をもとに,様々な継手形状や載荷条件にも適用でき,かつ高精度に疲労寿命を推定できるようなノッチ形状を見出す.さらに,溶接継手表面で測定できる応力からノッチ応力を推定するための手法を構築する.これにより,既設橋の溶接継手において,溶接部周辺で計測した応力からノッチ応力,ひいては疲労寿命を推定することができるようにする.
    本研究で対象とする溶接継手において,ルートの残留応力を実測することはできないが,有限要素法による熱伝導解析と熱弾塑性解析とを組合せることにより,溶接熱源の動きも再現した上で,溶接残留応力を解析的に求めることができるようになっている.そこで,有限要素解析によって,溶接ルートに高い引張残留応力を導入できる溶接条件を明らかにした.その結果をもとに,ルートからの疲労き裂の発生が期待できる試験体を製作し,疲労試験を行った.その結果,溶接止端からの疲労き裂を防止すれば,ルートからの疲労き裂を実験的に再現することができるようになった.
    これに平行して,ルートき裂に対する疲労強度評価法の確立を目的として,従来からよく用いられてきたエフェクティブノッチ応力に代わる適切なノッチ応力を探った.疲労損傷事例の多い鋼床版のデッキプレートとUリブの溶接部のルートを対象として,0.2㎜のノッチを導入し,そこに生じる応力を用いれば,疲労強度を一定のばらつきの範囲内で推定できることを明らかにした.
    有限要素法による熱伝導解析と熱弾塑性解析とを組合せることにより,溶接熱源の動きも再現した上で,溶接ルートに高い引張残留応力を導入できる溶接条件を明らかにし,それを基にして,ルートからの疲労き裂を再現できる試験体を製作し,疲労試験を行った.溶接継手に何も手を加えずに試験をした結果,溶接ルートよりも溶接止端からのき裂の発生が先行することが多く,必ずしも予想通りとはならなかった.そのため,溶接止端に処理を施すことによって止端からのき裂発生を抑止した結果,ルートからの疲労き裂を再現することができた.溶接ままの状態でもルートき裂が再現できる条件について,さらに検討を加える必要がある.
    一方,ルートき裂の疲労強度評価のためのノッチ応力については,0.2mmのノッチ応力が使える可能性があることを示した.この点について,研究の進捗は順調である.しかし,これは鋼床版の溶接継手という,限られた継手形状の試験結果でしか検討されていない.今後は様々な形状の溶接継手に対して,その適用性を検討する必要がある.
    引き続き,ルートき裂を再現できる溶接条件,載荷条件を探り,疲労試験でそれを再現することにより,ルートき裂に対する疲労強度の実験的なデータの拡充をはかる.また,エフェクティブノッチ応力に代わるものとして0.2mmのノッチ応力が有効である可能性を示したので,今後は,これを様々な形状を有する溶接継手へと適用し,その精度の確認を行う.
    さらに,弾性有限要素解析により様々な形状の継手の応力解析を行い,ノッチ応力と相関が高い継手表面での応力を明らかにする.溶接止端近傍や溶接ビード上の応力との相関が高くなるものと予想されるが,これらの複数の位置での応力からノッチ応力を推定する手法を明らかにし,その精度や適用限界を明らかにする.

    In this study, we focused on the hot spot stress method as a fatigue strength evaluation method for welded joints. First, regarding its applicability to fatigue cracks originating from a weld toe on plate edge, it was shown that although there is considerable scatter in the test results when using the IIW-3 point method (4-8-12 mm method), a safe-side evaluation is possible with JSSC-E class. Additionally, concerning the effect of out-of-plane bending, we determined the membrane stress component and the bending stress component from the stresses on the front and back surfaces of the plate at the reference points, and calculated separately the membrane and bending stress components of the hot spot stress. By correcting the bending stress component with the JSSC method, we demonstrated the possibility of reducing the scatter in the hot spot stress range caused by the inclusion of bending.

    In order to maintain and manage existing steel bridges rationally and strategically, it is desirable to evaluate fatigue cracks generated in welded joints from the viewpoint of its propagation behavior. In this study, for evaluating fatigue crack growth occurring from welded joints in actual steel bridges, first, the re-distribution behavior of welding residual stress due to crack growth was examined by experiments and analysis. As a result, it was revealed that when a crack initiate and propagate from a weld toe, which is usually in a tensile residual stress field, the residual stress is re-distributed so that the tensile residual stress always acts near the tip of the crack. Based on the results, the growth of a fatigue crack from a web-gusset welded joint in a typical multiple girder bridge was simulated, and the load redistribution behavior due to the crack growth and the fatigue limit state for this type of crack were investigated.

    This study newly proposed a low cycle assessment method for steel members, where fatigue life of the member can be predicted by nominal strains calculated with a beam element analysis. To establish the assessment method, the local strain amplitude at a weld toe that is a potential cracking point was firstly correlated with the nominal strain amplitude that is not affected by strain concentration due to weld and joint configurations. The former strain can be obtained by an analysis with solid elements and the latter strain can be obtained with a beam element analysis conventionally used in seismic design. Then, based on the correlation, the nominal strain based fatigue strength curves for base joints in steel piers were derived from the local strain based fatigue strength curves previously proposed for steel materials. Besides, the obtained fatigue strength curves were verified with several low cycle fatigue tests in this study and also in the previous research.
