...Adnan Rasul; Saravanan Karuppanan; Veeradasan Perumal; Mark Ovinis; Mohsin Iqbal; Khurshid Alam Purpose Stress concentration factors (SCFs) are commonly used to assess the fatigue life of tubular T-joints in offshore structures. SCFs are usually estimated from parametric equations derived from...

... practical loads are multiplanar. Design/methodology/approach This study investigates the optimal orientation of composite reinforcement for reducing stress concentration factors (SCF) of tubular KT-joints. The joint reinforcement was modelled and simulated using ANSYS. A parametric study was carried out...

Parametric equations derived from experimental testing and finite element...

... the weld toe stress concentration factor (SCF) sequence is essential. In this study, attempts were made to analyze the sequence and to find a simple method to generate the sequence using computers. Design/methodology/approach Laser scanning technique was used to acquire the real three-dimensional weld...
