Fractures in welded connections usually occurred at Earthquake. The lap-welded joints are an important type of welded connections in high strength steel structures. In this article, the ductile fracture behavior of lap-welded joints has been studied experimentally and numerically with 460 MPa steel. A series of coupon tests were used to determine two corresponding weld materials (ER55-D2 and ER55-G) mechanical properties. Two micromechanics models (void growth model and stress-modified critical strain models) had been calibrated by circumferentially notched tension specimens and calculated the fracture parameters numerically, which had been applied in predicting in five lap-welded joints. The experimental study showed that the fracture mode of 460 MPa lap-welded joints exhibited plastic damage under the tension tests. Numerical analysis of the fracture parameters also showed that the ductile fracture behavior of lap-welded joint with ER55-G was better. The study establishes an accurate numerical model for analyzing the ductile fracture behavior of Q460 high strength steel lap-welded joints that is applicable in predicting the fracture failure of welded steel structures.

Recent studies showed that electrical conductivity is a valuable technique to identify the different zones of solid-state welded joints with a good correlation with the microstructure and hardness. This is a relevant result since this technique is expedite and, in some cases, non destructive. The concept was applied to other welding processes as the ones involving fusion and to a wide range of materials. For this, a comprehensive study was performed using friction stir welding, tungsten inert gas (TIG) and gas metal arc (MAG) welding processes in either bead on plate or butt joints in: carbon steel, magnesium and titanium. Eddy current non-destructive testing (NDT) was used to measure the electrical conductivity at different depths in transverse sections of the processed materials. The obtained profiles were compared to the hardness profiles in the same sections. As a result, a good correlation was observed in most materials welded by solid state and by fusion processes. The variation of the electrical conductivity closely follows the one detected in the hardness. Another interesting conclusion is that, even for fusion welding of carbon steels, the technique has potential to complement the hardness measurements and microstructural observations, allowing to identify the distinct zones of welds in materials commonly used in industry.

Abstract Friction welding is a joining technique for wood materials. The positive aspects of this technique are the speed of processing and the absence of chemical or mechanical agents, but the welded joints are not water resistant. To understand better the effect of moisture on the fracture behavior of welded joints, their fracture characteristics have been investigated. The double cantilever beam specimens were tested, which permit to compute the mode I energy release rate of a welded joint. The results confirm the negative effect of moisture on the fracture properties of the joint. The data concerning the maximal tensile strength of the joining material were collected by uniaxial tests and implemented in a finite element model to establish a cohesive law, which describes the behavior of welded pieces in terms of moisture content.

To understand the effect of a single overload on the fracture behavior in welded joints, the stress and strain field at the crack tip in a safe-end dissimilar metal welded joint in nuclear pressure vessel is simulated and analyzed by using the elastic-plastic finite element method in the paper, in which the mechanical heterogeneity in welded joint is emphatically considered. The investigating results indicate that the tensile plastic strain at crack tip increases, but the tensile stress decreases as a single overload increases, and the influence of a single overload on tensile strain is larger than one on tensile stress, which provide a theoretical basis for quantitatively estimating the crack growth rate of environmentally assisted cracking in the welded structural material of pressure vessel and piping in the nuclear power plant.
