Abstract
Highly loaded welded constructions and their mechanisms require a special treatment as early as during the design. The aim of research is the service life estimation based on sophisticated numerical simulations, experimental analyses of nonhomogenous segments with geometrical singularities and residual stress relieving during the welding process.Computer aided design is a widely used method. Next to the shape designing also the thermoelastic and elastoplastic segments of construction and mechanism parts with FEM and BEM are incorporated. For the maximal loaded construction parts also a fatigue elastoplastic analysis based on an isotropic and kinematic model is necessary. Since the service life is directly linked with the type and history of loading the thermal influences have to be taken into account. In moving mechanism parts, a contact problem analysis in the sense of mechanical loading and the exact service life prediction is also necessary. In treatment of weld points in construction, the residual stresses are numerically modelled. Scientific background of the proposed research is the assessment of allowable flaw size in load carried structures and their remaining service life-time.
