Performance of cold formed welded tubular steel joints under moment loading
… seen limited application in structures where joints resist moments. Their application has remained largely in truss type and lattice type structures where pinned joints are assumed. However, SHS have wide potential for use in structures with moment resisting joints. Much still needs to be …

Effects of Surface Condition on the Fatigue Behavior of CFRP-to-Steel Joints
The strengthening of steel bridges using CFRP laminates has become a commonly used technique because of its numerous advantages compared to conventional repairs which involve welding or bolting of new steel plates. These structures will experience some sort of irregular cyclic loading during their …

Development and Characterization of Friction Bit Joining: A New Solid State Spot Joining Technology Applied to Dissimilar Al/Steel Joints
… of FBJ to joining 5754 aluminum to DP 980 steel, two alloys commonly used in automotive applications. The thicknesses of the materials used were 0.070 inches (1.78 mm) and 0.065 inches (1.65 mm), respectively. The FBJ process employs a consumable 4140 steel bit and is carried out on a …

The durability of adhesive joints: an engineering study
… This is illustrated with the case of rubber-to-steel joints exposed to a cathodic potential in seawater. The mechanical analysis of a durability specimen is presented and a procedure for debond prediction is suggested.

Vibration characteristics of joist and joist-girder members
With the development of lightweight steel beam and steel joist-concrete slab floor systems, floor vibration problems are becoming more and more prevalent. This paper presents the experimental and analytical study of the vibration characteristics of steel joist and joist-girder members. Three …

Numerical-Informational methodology for characterising steel bolted components coupling finite element simulations and soft computing techniques
… the last few decades, the characterisation of steel joints has been a highly active research topic thanks to its inherent complexity and utmost importance in the behaviour of a whole structure. The emergence of the semi-rigid concept provided significant benefits from both the structural and …

Influence of weld profile on fatigue crack growth in tubular welded joints
… on fatigue crack growth in tubular welded joints used in the construction of offshore platforms. An experimental strain analysis has been conducted on three multiplanar steel joints having the same overall geometry but different weld profiles and loaded in out-ofplane bending. This was used …
