Day One: Principles and Methods for Design of Welded Structures
This course will address fundamental aspects that engineers should know when designing welded joints. It will incorporate key findings from the most recent research developments in analytical and computational modelling of welded joints and welding processes. Proper design and cost- effective construction of welded connections require considerations of some of the unique issues associated with welding, in addition to specific loading environments. Modules include:
• Unique issues associated with welded joints and design implications
• Basic considerations in design of welded joints and analysis methods
• Joint design for static and fatigue performance
• Residual stress and distortion control in construction
Day Two: Residual Stresses and Distortions
This course will delve into how residual stresses
and distortions are developed during fusion and solid-state welding,
and related manufacturing processes, including metal 3D printing
and additive manufacturing. Simple analytical models will be used to describe the underlying mechanisms, and computational modeling
results will then be used to demonstrate the relevance of these analytical results for deriving
effective solutions to various
residual stress and distortion problems experienced by various industry sectors, including aerospace, automotive, heavy equipment, and shipbuilding.
Then,
the principles for residual stress and distortion mitigation techniques will be discussed
and illustrated with various real-world applications. In addition,
how residual stresses and
distortions affect components’ structural
performance (such as fatigue capacity) will be discussed, including
how to effectively treat their effects
in structural integrity evaluation, based on the most recent
research findings.
Designers, structural engineers, consultant engineers, mechanical engineers, welding and production engineers, maintenance and quality control engineers, as well as researchers. Attendees
are encourages to bring along their design problems to contribute to discussions and local case studies.
What Industries is the Course Relevant to?
The
Course will be especially relevant
to all professionals in automotive, aerospace, steel costruction, steel bridge design,
power generation, naval and shipbuilding, offshore construction, pipeline and other industries that apply welding.
About the Presenter:
Professor Pingsha Dong
Professor Pingsha Dong of the University
of Michigan, is the inventor of the mesh-insensitive structural
stress method (also referred to as the Master S-N Curve
Method) adopted by the 2007 ASME Div 2 and API 579/ ASME FFS-1 Codes and Standards
mandated by
over
50 countries worldwide. Over the past 10 years, Professor Dong has taught courses in fatigue design,
fracture control, residual
stress and distortion control in over a dozen countries around the globe.
Professor Dong has published
more than 260 peer- reviewed
papers in archive journals and major conference
proceedings, including over 20 plenary and keynote
lectures at major international conferences. He has received
numerous prestigious national and international awards, including AWS Comfort Adams Lecture Award (2019),
SNAME Helmer L. Hann Awards (both in 2012 and
2007), IIW Evgeny Paton Prize (2008), R&D Magazine’s R&D 100 Award (2006), TIME Magazine’s Math Innovator (2005), Aviation Week and Space
Technology’s Aerospace Laurels
Award (2004), SAE Henry Ford Award (2003),
