Fatigue test was carried out on E36 steel no reinforcement welding joint under the same constant amplitude load with ultrasound fatigue tester independent designed by Tianjin University. Test results showed that the specimen would enter infinite life area after 1 x 109 cycle times; All broken specimens fractured in the welding seam. We observed fracture surface using SEM and found all the crack initiation from defects. This paper further analysed the influence of nature, size, position, and distribution of defects on fatigue life.

Abstract The bonding state of the asphalt layers in a road pavement structure significantly affects its fatigue life. These bondings, therefore, require detailed tests and optimization. In this paper, the analyses of the correlation between the results of laboratory static tests and the results of fatigue tests of asphalt mixture interlayer bondings were performed. The existence of the relationships between selected parameters was confirmed. In the future, the results of these analyses may allow for assessment of interlayer bondings’ fatigue life based on the results of quick and relatively easy static tests.

Strain controlled constant and variable amplitude fatigue tests for 316NG and Titanium stabilized stainless steels in low oxygen PWR waters were performed. The stabilized steel has been plant aged for 100 000 hours. Constant amplitude test results at 0,01 Hz sinusoidal straining comply with predicted lives according to the Fen approach for both materials. Spectrum straining both in air and in environment caused predicted life reduction factors (about 3) for the stabilized steel, but for the 316NG steel spectrum straining in environment resulted to a larger reduction in life.
