FATIGUE LIFE ANALYSIS OF FILLET WELDS OF TRANSFORMER OIL TANK WITH WELDING DEFECTS (MT) by CHEN Ben, JI YuChen, LIANG YiHeng, WANG XiaoSun

“…Take the most dangerous fillet weld of the full tank sidewall fillet weld, and further establish a fillet weld model with partial defects, and analyze the influence law of the fatigue life of the fillet weld of the transformer tank when there are pores and slag defects. It was finally found that for slag inclusion defects, the greater the difference between the slag elastic modulus and the weld elastic modulus, the more likely it is to cause fatigue damage, and soft slag inclusions are more dangerous than hard slag inclusions; the increase in the size of pore defects will cause fatigue life reduce, the closer the pores is to the welding root, the shorter the fatigue life will be; and the pore defects are more likely to cause fatigue damage than the slag inclusion defects.…”

Research on the Influence of Moisture Condition on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Sandstone by Zuosen. Luo, Zuoxiang. Zhu, Hao Bai, Daxiang Liu, Qiancheng. Sun

“…The results show that, with the increase of water content, the macromechanical parameters of sandstone gradually decrease, and the fine and microstructure characteristics are characterized by the gradual increase in the number of pores and the gradual increase in pore size. Based on the PFC2D software, considering the weakening effect of water on the partial cementation from a mesoscopic point of view, it is proposed to use soft and hard contacts to simulate the changes in the degree of cementation between particles under different water-bearing conditions and to study the impact of sandstone micromechanical parameters with changes in water content. …”
