Abstract The mechanical properties of welded DH36 steel at low temperatures are important to the safety of structures in Polar areas. The purpose of the study is to investigate the static and cyclic behavior of welded DH36 steel at low temperatures based on tensile and fatigue tests. The Ductile to Brittle transition and Fatigue Ductile to Brittle Transition of welded DH36 steel occurred at low temperatures. Finally, some relevant applications of the results within the context of polar engineering and design are discussed in the last part of the present study.

This paper proposes an ultra-high frequency (UHF) fatigue test of a titanium alloy TA11 based on electrodynamic shaker in order to develop a feasible testing method in the VHCF regime. Firstly, a type of UHF fatigue specimen is designed to make its actual testing frequency reach as high as 1756 Hz. Then the influences of the loading frequency and loading types on the testing results are considered separately, and a series of comparative fatigue tests are hence conducted. The results show the testing data from the present UHF fatigue specimen agree well with those from the conventional vibration fatigue specimen with the loading frequency of 240 Hz. Furthermore, the present UHF testing data show good consistency with those from the axial-loading fatigue and rotating bending fatigue tests. But the obtained fatigue life from ultrasonic fatigue test with the loading frequency of 20 kHz is significantly higher than all other fatigue test results. Thus the proposed ultra-high frequency vibration-based fatigue test shows a balance of high efficiency and similarity with the conventional testing results.

The analyses device safety subject to pressure is based on the prediction at break junctions used for the design of this type of devices. The harmfulness analysis of existing defects on these devices makes indispensable the study of the rupture in these components. Various characterization tests (tensile tests, fatigue tests and tensile strength tests) were carried out at room and low temperatures on plates welded end to end and for the different directions of sampling.An estimate of the toughness in the three areas of a weld joint was made by passing from resilience to toughness in the ductile-brittle transition zone of materials. The temperature range of the tests was to provide measurements of the toughness the lower bearing to the beginning of the transition curve. The purpose of this work is to study the state both mechanical and microstructural aspects of the welded junction. The diagnoses used made it possible to deduce that the small thickness of the HAZ, makes the machining of the specimen difficult. Thereby, a mechanical simulation of the HAZ by registration of the thermal cycle that this area undergoes was necessary to be able to reproduce it and compare it with the actual HAZ.

A new simple fatigue testing machine, which can carry out fast and low-cost fatigue tests of welded joints subject to wave with high frequency vibration, has been developed. This machine is designed for plate bending type fatigue tests, and wave load is applied by using motors with eccentric mass. Springing vibration is superimposed by attaching an additional vibrator to the test specimen, and whipping vibration is superimposed by an intermittent hammering. Fatigue tests which simulate springing and whipping by a conventional servo-type fatigue testing machines are very expensive and use a large amount of electricity. If one uses these conventional machines, it is difficult to simulate superimposed stress wave forms at high speed, and it takes long hours of testing to examine the high frequency effect. In contrast, it is found that fatigue tests can be carried out in fast, i.e. waves with 10Hz or higher frequency for out-of-plane gusset welded joint specimens with 12mm plate thickness by using the developed machine. The electricity to be used for fatigue tests could be minimal, for example one thousandth of that needed for conventional machines. These results demonstrate the superiority of the developed machine.
