The stress concentration factor is one of the important parameters of fatigue performance analysis of node.This article uses the ANSYS software, by which the space KKK chord shape square steel tube node stress concentration factor (SCF) is analyzed. Analyzed under three kinds of load (axial force, in-plane bending moment and out-of-plane bending moment ) ,SCF is influenced by Ƭ (branch, head of thickness ratio), β (branch, head width ratio), γ (director of generous than) of the chord and the effect of the nodes is valued in the design of selection of geometric parameters and the calculation of the fatigue performance

A parametric stress analysis of DT/X square-to-square and square-to-round tubular joints subjected to axial loads, in-plane, and out-of-plane bending moments has been performed using the finite element technique in order to provide a sound basis for using such sections in the design of complex structures. The results of this analysis are presented as a set of equations expressing the stress concentration factor as a function of the relevant geometric parameters for various loading conditions. A comparison is made between the results obtained for square-to-square and square-to-round tubular joints and those obtained for round-to-round tubular joints by other researchers. In general, the stress concentration factors for square-to-square tubular joints are the highest, followed by those of the corresponding round-to-round joints, with those of the corresponding square-to-round joints the lowest when the joints are subject to axial loads. In the case of in-plane bending moment, the stress concentration factors for square-to-square joints are generally still the highest, but followed by those of the corresponding square-to-round joints, with those of the corresponding round-to-round joints the lowest. However, the stress concentration factors for the three types of joint are comparable when they are subject to out-of-plane bending moments.

The relationship between the geometric parameters of α, β, γ and τ of tubular T joints and chord stress concentration factor, SCF, has been investigated. With the use of calculated values as well as experimental data tables were compiled for a wide variety of cases when axial loading on the branch is applied. Finally, a probability analysis is given as to the reliability of using a particular SCF value.

The stress concentration factor, which is one of the primary input parameters for the fatigue reliability analysis of tubular joints commonly found in offshore jacket structures, shows substantial scatter that highlights the importance of accurate derivation of its governing probability function. In this article, results of 144 finite element stress analyses, validated using experimental data, were used to derive the probability density functions for the stress concentration factors in unstiffened gap tubular KT-joints under four types of out-of-plane bending moment loadings. Based on a parametric finite element study, a sample database was prepared for the maximum chord-side stress concentration factors of central and outer braces, and density histograms were generated for these samples. Nine different probability density functions were fitted to these histograms. The maximum likelihood method was used to estimate the parameters of fitted distributions. In each case, Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was applied to assess the goodness-of-fit. Finally, the inverse Gaussian model was selected as the best-fitted distribution, and after substituting the values of estimated parameters, six fully defined probability density functions were proposed for the maximum chord-side stress concentration factors of central and outer braces in unstiffened gap KT-joints under four types of out-of-plane bending loading.

By terms of the numerical modeling of ABAQUS software, the analysis of the stress concentration factor (SCF) of tubular T-joints subjected to axial load is analyzed in this paper. The magnitude and the distribution of the SCF are also obtained. Through the finite element analysis of 816 models, the effect of geometrical parameters on the value and distribution of the SCF is investigated. Then based on these results, the parametric equations of the maximal SCF and SCF distribution for T-joints subjected to axial load are presented. Error analysis of these parametric equations is also carried out.
