This pole suffered a failure in the welded seam at an overlapping slip splice. A tubular steel transmission pole generally consists of a series of welded assemblies. The pole shafts and arms are ...

A recent Machine Design article, “The basics of fatigue in welded steel structure,” made reference to the fact that extensive research has been conducted by various organizations in a number of ...

Heikki Remes, a researcher at the Aalto University in Finland, has developed a model making it possible to determine how fatigue sets in with various welded steel materials. The model allows for the ...

Structural applications of steel have long made use of elongated beams with carefully designed profiles, whose geometry gives them specific mechanical properties. Nowadays, the variety of cutting and ...

Stainless steel is a vital material in applications which require strength, exceptional corrosion resistance and ductility. As a result, tubular sections of stainless steel are perfect for the ...

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego’s (UCSD) Jacobs School of Engineering have applied post-tensioning, a technique commonly used in the construction of concrete buildings and ...
