6、 is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be repre

7、sented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are

8、 drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Internationa

9、l Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. In exceptional circumstances, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that which is normally published as an International Standard (“state of the art”, for example), it may decide by a

10、simple majority vote of its participating members to publish a Technical Report. A Technical Report is entirely informative in nature and does not have to be reviewed until the data it provides are considered to be no longer valid or useful. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the ele

11、ments of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/TR 14345 was prepared by the International Institute of Welding, which has been approved as an international standardizing body in the field of welding by

12、the ISO Council. Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this part of ISO/TR 14345 should be directed to the ISO Central Secretariat, who will forward them to the IIW Secretariat for an official response. ISO/TR 14345:2012(E) ISO 2012 All rights reserved vIntroduction Fatigue tests of

13、 welded specimens are the basis of all the main fatigue design codes and standards for welded components and structures. However, inevitably these are not fully comprehensive and there is a constant need for new data to extend them. Recognizing this, there is a growing tendency to allow the user to

14、deviate from the rules by performing special fatigue tests to validate a design. This Technical Report addresses both these situations by providing guidance on the production of welded test specimens and their fatigue testing for producing data either for general application or to validate a specifi

15、c design. Welded metallic structures can be large and complex, incorporating many weld details and structural configurations. Furthermore, the loading that they are required to withstand in service can also be complex. Therefore, the scope for performing fatigue tests on full-scale welded structures

16、 under truly representative loading conditions is very limited, and usually expensive. Consequently, for both technical and economic reasons, it is rarely attempted. Instead, in many circumstances, it is sufficient to isolate individual weld details and incorporate them in small-scale specimens to t

17、est them. An important condition is that the resulting specimens should be realistic in terms of features in real structures that affect fatigue strength, such as material type, section thickness, plate preparation, weld type and welding conditions, residual stresses and the nature of the fatigue lo

18、ading. This Technical Report provides guidance on the production and fatigue testing of specimens representing weld details. Reference is made to other IIW guidance on the fatigue testing of large-scale specimens representing sub-assemblies or structural components (Reference 1); more detailed guida

19、nce on the loading required for variable-amplitude testing is given in Reference 2 and the statistical evaluation of fatigue data in Reference 3. By its nature, this Technical Report covers two distinct disciplines, welding and mechanical testing. If reliable fatigue data are to be obtained, both ne

20、ed to be truly representative of practical conditions. Thus, the laboratory test specimens need to duplicate actual welded structures and the test conditions need to duplicate real-life loading and operating conditions. Apart from the provision of design data, use of the recommendations in this Tech

21、nical Report is intended to facilitate comparison of fatigue test data and avoid biased statistics if results obtained from different sources are combined. Use of this Technical Report is intended to allow, on the one hand, more adequate comparison of the results from different origins (e.g. same we

22、lded joint but from another workshop or testing laboratory) and, on the other hand, the plotting of more reliable fatigue curves for design purposes.

23、t gives guidance on best practice for fatigue testing under constant- or variable- amplitude loading of welded components in the medium- and high-cycle regimes, corresponding to applied loading that results in nominal stresses that do not exceed yield. Low-cycle fatigue testing under strain control

24、is not specifically covered, although the same test specimens can be suitable for either low- or high-cycle fatigue testing. The different steps involved in the manufacture and preparation of the welded specimens and the final presentation and evaluation of the test results are also covered. This Te

25、chnical Report does not cover corrosion or high-temperature fatigue testing. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 failure criterion specimen damage chosen for ending the test 2.2 flank angle contact angle between the weld face and

37、sts, together with any practical limitations such as the available type of fatigue-testing equipment, material and time. If the specimen is intended to model a welded joint in an actual structure, it shall be as representative as possible of that joint in terms of material, weld detail, geometry, di

38、mensions, and manufacturing quality. In addition, the specimen design should take account of how loads are applied to the test section to ensure consistency with the original structural element. A relevant example to illustrate this point is given in Reference 4. If it is required to produce several

39、 nominally identical specimens, e.g. to produce an SN curve, a suitable technique is to extract them from larger panels, as shown in Figure 2. Normally, extension pieces are welded at each end to allow the test weld to traverse the entire width of the panel. These are then removed and the resulting

40、edges ground smooth. Similarly, several strip specimens can be extracted from a single butt or fillet welded girth joint between two tubes. However, these approaches can only be used if the weld detail is a continuous weld oriented transverse to the direction of fatigue loading. In other cases, such

41、 as those shown in Figure 3, each specimen shall be fabricated individually. An important feature of welded structures is the nature of the residual stresses due to welding and subsequent manufacturing operations. In most cases, these can be very high, up to yield, and tensile. Their effect under fa

42、tigue loading is the same as that of an applied high tensile mean stress. Most fatigue design rules provide design data that include the effect of such tensile residual stress. However, small-scale welded specimens are unlikely to embody high residual stresses from welding. One option with steel spe

43、cimens is to induce them by spot heating (Reference 5), or their effect can usually be simulated by the choice of loading (see 6.3).

45、ome location associated with the method of testing. In this respect, there is always the risk that axially loaded plate specimens gripped in wedge jaws fail in that region as a result of the notching effect of the jaws if they indent the specimen. This problem is particularly acute if the weld detai

46、l is one with relatively high fatigue strength. It can usually be avoided by the use of waisted specimens that are narrower in the test section than where they are gripped. Similarly, specimens loaded in bending can fail at the load points if they indent the specimen or the local shear stress in the

47、 specimen is too high. General recommendations on the dimensions of fatigue test specimens are given in Figure 4.

48、2 Manufacture of test specimens 4.2.1 Material The test specimens should be manufactured from material of the same specification, form, and thickness as that used for the component or structure that the specimen is intended to represent. Since the fatigue performance of some welded joints is effecti

49、vely independent of material tensile strength, some flexibility is possible on the choice of material grade. Similarly, some tolerance on material form and thickness may be possible. Any such deviations should be justified and recorded. 4.2.2 Welding procedure The welding operation should conform to those performed on components or structures of the type and material that the specimen is intended to represent, in compliance with recognized
