Detta examensarbete handlar om finita element analys av svetsade förband i korgen på Volvo dumpern A40E. Det genomfördes i samarbete med Volvo CE i Braås. Uppgiften var att ge företaget en lämplig lösning för att minska mängden svetsskarvar på den främre delen av lastenheten. För att uppnå detta har en rad analyser genomförts med hjälp av CATIA och ANSYS på både de befintliga och de justerade (potentiella ersättare) svetsade förbanden. Analyserna visar att utmatningshållfastheten av svetsade förband huvudsakligen beror på inbränningsdjupet. Med andra ord, förstärka svetsförband genom större inbränning är mer fördelaktigt än att använda mer svets på utsidan. Slutsatsen blev att både produktionstid och kostnad kan minskas genom justering av de svetsade förbanden. Eftersom svetsförband på lastenheten är sammankopplade bör mer omfattande studier som inkluderar alla svetsar genomföras för att uppskatta effekterna av liknande justeringar. / The work presented in this master thesis is about the finite element analysis of the welded connections in load carrying unit of the articulated hauler, Volvo A40E. It was performed in cooperation with Volvo CE in Braås. The task was to provide the company with an appropriate solution to reduce the amount of weld used on the front part of the load carrying unit. To accomplish this, a series of analyses utilising CATIA and ANSYS was performed on both existing and adjusted (potential replacement) welded connections. The analyses brought to light the fact that the fatigue resistance of welded connections significantly depends on the penetration depth. In other words, reinforcing the welded connections by deeper penetration is more beneficial than providing support from outside through thicker weld. It was concluded that applying adjusted welds lessens both the production time and cost. Nevertheless, since the welds on the load carrying unit are correlated; more extensive studies covering all welds should be carried out to estimate the impacts of similar replacements.

Por este motivo é imperativo que os tubos utilizados apresentem excelente integridade estrutural a fim de evitar a ocorrência de falhas prematuras devido à fadiga. Contudo, como o processo de fabricação HFIW, largamente utilizado pela indústria, envolve conformação mecânica seguida de soldagem, defeitos estarão inerentemente presentes nos tubos, notadamente uma interface entre as bordas das chapas soldadas. No presente trabalho foi investigado como a junta soldada de tubos de aço API 5CT N80 tipo Q pode contribuir para redução da vida em fadiga e como o processo como um todo pode levar a anisotropia mecânica dos tubos. Para preservar ao máximo as características originais dos tubos foram realizados ensaios de fadiga axiais utilizando corpos de prova não previstos pelas normas técnicas vigentes, com espessuras iguais as das paredes dos tubos dos quais foram retirados. Foi também desenvolvido e testado um dispositivo para realização de ensaios de fadiga utilizando trechos de tubo, o qual mostrou potencial para a realização de ensaios futuros. Os resultados dos ensaios axiais (realizados de modo a comparar a região da junta soldada como uma posição a 90° dela) indicaram que a junta soldada pode agir como um tipo de concentrador de tensões, contribuindo para a diminuição da resistência à fadiga dos tubos de maneira inversamente proporcional à carga aplicada. Também foi observado que defeitos resultantes do processo de fabricação (muitos deles macroscópicos) podem atuar como pontos para a nucleação de trincas de fadiga e que, portanto, não deveriam estar presentes no produto final. Ensaios de tração, análises metalográfias, fractográficas e de microdureza também foram realizados de modo a complementar os resultados dos ensaios de fadiga. / Steel pipes, used in the oil and gas industry in prospection and exploration activities, are often subjected to cyclic loading during their transportation (transit fatigue) and during their service life. Considering this, these steel pipes must have excellent structural integrity in order to avoid premature failure by fatigue mechanisms. However, the HFIW manufacturing process, widely used by the industry, involves mechanical forming and welding and, therefore, defects are inherently present in the finished products, remarkably an interface between the edges of the steel sheets that are welded into tubes. In this work it has been investigated how the HFIW manufacturing process can reduce the fatigue resistance of API 5CT N80 type Q steel tubes and lead to a mechanical anisotropy of the finished product. To keep the specimens characteristics closer to the real steel pipes, axial fatigue tests have been performed with round specimens which had their thickness equal to the thickness of the walls of the pipes from which they had been taken from. It has been developed also a device and a method to test small length sections of steel tubes, which have shown potential to be used in the future as a new methodology for the study of fatigue in steel pipes. The results of the axial fatigue tests (carried out to compare the welded joint to a position situated 90° from it) indicate that the welded joint can act as a stress raiser and contributes to reduce the fatigue resistance of the steel pipes, in a inversely proportional relationship with the increasing of the applied dynamic loading. It has been observed also that some defects, which result from the manufacturing process, can act as points for the nucleation of fatigue cracks and, for this, they should not be present in the manufactured product. Tensile tests, metallographic analysis, fractography study and microhardness tests had been carried out to complement the fatigue tests results.

The aim of diploma thesis is to design steel roof structure of minimum dimensions 45 m x 50 m and minimum height 12 m. The plan of the building design has dimensions of 52,14 m x 70, 00 m and height is 18,68 m. The roofing was design as 3D truss girders with two lower chords and one upper chord. The shape of 3D truss girder consists of three circular arcs of radius 69,88m, 12,43 m and 33,45 m. Between main girders is 3D bracing. The structure is pin-supported.

The aim is design of Ledeč nad Sázavou railway station renovation. This renovation has to satisfied current traffic and valid legislation, especially entrance for persons with reduced mobility. There is the new platform at Chotěboř railway station according to current legislation. Change of trackage was in a very small way.

This thesis deals with design of a multi-purpose sports hall. The aim of this work is to design a support structure with a diameter of 80.0 m at ± 0.000. Construction of a circular layout in the level of ± 0.000 of an external diameter 80.0 m. Height of the hall at the top is 20.0 m Indoors girders is solved in 36 beams which meet at the middle of the rings. Ensure the stability of bracing. Anchoring is done by pin connections located at the bottom of the strip, anchored in concrete bases through the base plate and pre-concreted anchor bolts.

The aim of the Diploma Thesis is elaboration of study of bridge crossing over the Svitava river and ČD railway track in Blansko. It concerns a five-pole steel beam road bridge with through-span which carries road of the third category. The static system of the construction is solved as solid-web beam of 1.3 meters height which is in three middle spans reinforced by truss construction with top chord and system of diagonals without verticals. The height of the main beam where reinforced by trusswork is 4.75 meters. The width of spans in the road axis is 18.5 + 30.525 + 44.4 + 30.525 + 18,5 metres. The bridge deck consists of steel cross beams bonded with reinforced concrete slab of 200 millimeters of thickness. The drive-through width of the roadway is 7.0 meters. The bridge is fitted with right-sided walkway placed on steel cantilevers. The walk-through width of the walkway is 3.0 meters. Material used is S355 Steel, C30/37 Concrete and S460 Steel which is used for marginal spans of the bridge. Load-bearing construction is assessed in compliance with current technical requirements laid down by European Directives, so called “Eurocodes”. The calculation of inner powers is performed using the Scia Engineer 2013.1 software.

The diploma thesis describes the design and assessment of steel structure of the roofing of the military museum in Králíky. The supporting structure of hall is 40.00 meters span. The total layout are 55.93 x 72.04 m, building height 11.43 m, 16.11 m pylon height. Main construction material is steel, grade S355, secondary constructions are made from steel grade S235, rods are made from steel grade S460.
