How finite element mathematical simulations can mitigate risk and cut costs.
Fatigue in welded steel components is often initiated by mechanical vibration, corrosion and thermal cycling. Fitness-for-service analysis is the most viable step in determining the safety and financial risk factors related to component repair or replacement. In this article, Dr. William J. ODonnell, Founder, ODonnell Consulting Engineers, Inc., shares insight about managing risk specific to weld failures.
