HOW INFLUENTIAL IS LOAD HISTORY IN IMPROVING THE RELIABILITY OF A WELDED STRUCTURE
Experimental evidence for changes in toughness and residual stress are incorporated into probabilistic models. The models are used to investigate the sensitivity of the input parameters to measures of the survivability of a welded component. Predictions are compared to experimental evidence from large scale tests. Importantly, it is revealed that by including prior loading into an assessment of the performance of a welded structure we may be able to claim that the structure’s reliability is consistently better than that expected at start of life.
