Abstract
To study the influence of surface fatigue cracks on the static strength of circular tubular T-joints, experimental tests on four full-scale circular tubular T-joints are carried out. Firstly, surface fatigue cracks are prefabricated by fatigue test in three circular tubular T-joints. Thereafter, experimental tests on the static strength of all the circular tubular T-joints with and without fatigue cracks under axial tension are carried out. Through the comparative analysis, the influences of the fatigue crack on the failure mode and the static strength of circular tubular T-joints are concluded.
Keywords: Experimental study, fatigue surface cracks, residual static strength, tubular T-joint.
