STUDY ON CRITICAL CTOD OF BIG-THICKNESS AND HIGH-STRENGTH STEELS by XIA ZiYu, MIAO ZhangMu, MA Tao, CHEN Gang, PENG Sheng

“…As one of the essential criteria of assessment to welding toughness,CTOD（ Crack tip opening displacement） is widely applied in engineering.The research on critical CTOD of big thickness and high strength steels has been a hot issue,therefore the theoretical research in China lags behind its overseas.The present paper takes the single edge fatigue precrack of CTOD specimen as a flaw based on the technical route of the British Standard 7910-2005,which is "Guide to methods for assessing the acceptability of flaws in metallic structures".In the meanwhile,make the grading assessments of the HAZ of the60 mm thick EQ70 steel welded joints,combining the results of the CTOD tests.The CGHAZ microstructures of EQ70 steel welded joints has been analyzed by SEM.The assessments on welded joints of EQ70 show that the CTOD values are in the acceptable range.And there are some fine microstructures good for the toughness of the welded joint.This method provides a useful guidance in researches of critical CTOD.…”

Web post-buckling strength of thin-webbed cellular beams using carbon PFRP profiles by Hamda Guedaoura, Yazid Hadidane

“…The aim of this paper is to investigate the effectiveness of using externally bonded pultruded carbon fiber (CFRP) profiles for the strengthening of web post-buckling in thin webbed cellular beams as an alternative to the typical welding technique of reinforcement. A proposed numerical model created with the finite element software ABAQUS capable of capturing the de-bonding and fracture along the adhesive layer between steel and CFRP has been validated using published experimental results.…”

LEAKAGE FAILURE ANALYSIS OF TUBE BUNDLE CONNECTION OF FLUE GAS WASTE HEAT RECOVERY DEVICE (MT) by REN ZiQi, DONG JinShan, FENG Jun, DING Yi

“…Firstly, the stress level of the waste heat recovery device under working condition was calculated by Ansys simulation software, and the maximum stress point was found at the tube sheet, and the stress value at the joint of tube sheet and heat exchange tube was larger.Then, macro-corrosion morphology analysis, metallographic microstructure analysis, micro-hardness test, scanning electron microscope（SEM） analysis of corrosion micro-morphology and EDS micro-area composition analysis of corrosion products were carried out on the sampling site of tube bundle leakage.The results show that, because of high temperature, increasing alkali concentration occurs at the crack of tube bundle. And welding cracks exist there, which eventually leads to alkali stress corrosion cracking at the weld of tube sheet and tube bundle.…”
