...Pranitha Bachimanchi; Nilanjan Saha Peridynamic theory is the reformulation of classical mechanics mathematical theory compatible with cracks while performing structural analysis. The present study models the tubular joints having T, Y, K, and X configurations in the peridynamic framework...

... to the strategy of similar previous work [ 2 , 26 ]. The methodology used to examine the effects of welding residual stresses in equal and unequal wall thickness hybrid MS1-P20 tubular joints included the following steps: (a) implementation of sequentially coupled thermo-mechanical FEM to simulate the welding...

...Pingsha Dong; Jeong K. Hong A series of well-known tubular joints tested in UKSORP II have been re-evaluated using the mesh-insensitive structural stress method as a part of the on-going Battelle Structural Stress JIP efforts. In this report, the structural stress based analysis procedure is first...

... connection, consisting of the weld deposit, heat-affected zone, and immediately adjacent base metal is called a tubular joint ( 6 ). The main member is denoted as chord and the secondary member as brace or branch. The outside diameter of the brace is less than or equal to that of the chord. A joint without...

...T. S. Thandavamoorthy, Deputy Director The paper presents in detail the experimental and numerical investigations on tubular joints that are stiffened internally with three annular rings in order to study their behaviors and evaluate their strengths under axial brace compression loading...
