Abstract

This paper presents a fatigue design method for plug- and ring-type gas-welded joints, which takes into account the effects of welding residual stress. To develop this method, we simulated the gas-welding process by performing nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) To validate the FEA results, numerically calculated residual stresses in the gas welds were then compared with experimental results obtained by the hole-drilling method. To evaluate the fatigue strength of plug- and ring-type gas-welded joints influenced by welding residual stresses, the use of stress amplitude $(\sigma_a)_R$, which includes the welding residual stress in gas welds, is proposed $(\sigma_a)_R$ on the basis of a modified Goodman equation that includes the residual stress effects. Using the stress amplitude $(\sigma_a)_R$ at the hot spot point of gas weld, the relations obtained as the fatigue test results for plug and ring type gas welded joints having various dimensions and shapes were systematically rearranged to obtain the $(\sigma_a)_R-N_f$ relationship. It was found that more systematic and accurate evaluation of the fatigue strength of plug- and ring-type gas-welded joints can be achieved by using $(\sigma_a)_R$.

가스용접 구조물의 장 수명 피로설계기준(fatigue design criterion)을 결정하기 위해서는 정확한 응력해석과 체계적인 피로강도평가가 필요하다. 그러나 실 구조물로부터 피로설계기준을 결정하는 것은 대단히 어려우므로 구조물의 기계적 구조적 특성을 만족하는 간편 시편을 만들어서 $\Delta{\sigma}-N_f$ 관계를 도출하여 피로강도를 평가하고 있다. 그리고 가스용접에 의해 제작된 실 구조물의 피로설계를 위해서는 피로균열발생과 파단 기점이 되는 용접부의 용접잔류응력(welding residual stress)이 고려되어야 한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 플러그 및 링 가스용접 이음재에 대한 용접잔류응력을 고려하기 위해 용접 열 사이클(heat cycle)에 의한 비선형 열해석(non-linear thermal analysis)과 열 응력(thermal stress) 해석을 수행하고, 실험 치와 비교 분석하여 용접잔류응력을 고려한 응력 진폭-피로수명($(\sigma_a)_R-N_f$) 관계를 도출하여 자동적으로 피로설계기준을 제시할 수 있도록 하고자 하였다.
