In recent years, the demand for advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) has increased to
improve the durability and service life of steel structures. The development of these steels …

Structures made using high-strength steel (HSS) offer numerous benefits in terms of
mechanical performance, economy and sustainability. With such structures increasingly …

Pipelines may be subject to displacement-controlled external loads exceeding yield strength
of materials due to many causes, eg, soil settlements and ground movement. It is important …

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of softening in the heat-affected
zone of welds and the constraint effect on the transverse tensile strength of a microalloyed …

The results of 32 tests on bolted T-stub connections made up of welded plates are presented
and discussed. Although T-stubs have been used for many years to model the tension zone …

Abstract 800 MPa strength cold rolled annealed DP steels was welded by different heat
inputs (6–66 J/mm) using 6 kW fiber laser, to study the microstructure and fracture behavior …

This paper addresses the microstructure and tensile-shear mechanical performance of
MS1200 Giga-grade martensitic advanced high strength steel resistance spot welds. The …

Abstract 2A97 Al-Li joints were achieved by using a fibre laser welding with filler wire (non-
autogenous) and without filler wire (autogenous), of which the microstructures, mechanical …

The softening effect, which occurs as an undesirable consequence of microstructural
changes in the heat-affected zone as a result of the welding process, is an inherent aspect of …

The in-depth analysis of the tensile strain response of the girth weld is very important for the
safety assessment of the pipeline. This study is carried out through a combination of …
