• Craco propgation in steel plates using FEM and XFEM 

      Næss, Espen (Master thesis, 2021)
      The pupose of this thesis is to compare stress intensity factor in steel plates using FEM and XFEM. Also to compare methodology in crack propgation with FEM and XFEM. The methods used is finite element method and extended ...
    • Experimental and numerical study of the elastic SCF of tubular joints 

      Atteya, Mostafa; Mikkelsen, Ove; Wintle, John; Ersdal, Gerhard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-07)
      This paper provides data on stress concentration factors (SCFs) from experimental measurements on cruciform tubular joints of a chord and brace intersection under axial loading. High-fidelity finite element models were ...
    • Statistical evaluation of fatigue lives of offshore tubular joints. 

      Alvarez, Alejandro (Master thesis, 2021)
      Fatigue design in offshore structures is based on S-N curves derived from tests on tubular joints where failure is defined as penetration of wall thickness. However, in practice, fatigue cracks are likely to continue to ...
    • Stress analysis of simple tubular joints - Loaded chord members 

      Sagir, Abdullahi (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06-29)
      This thesis covered the subject of stress analysis in simple tubular joints, with a focus on tubular joints with loaded chord members. The type of loading investigated is even though quite common, not very much investigated. ...
