| Abstract: |
This paper presents results of a research project analysing the strength of fillet welded connections of high strength steels. Particularly, the influence of the strength of filler metals on the behaviour of welded connections is discussed. Tests on longitudinal fillet welded lap joints and cruciform joints have been conducted together with numerical simulations to investigate the load bearing behaviour. The aim is to determine the load bearing capacity of these connections in dependence on both, the strength of the filler metal as well as the base material and the influence of the load direction. The results show that the load bearing capacity of the connections is not only dependent on the base metal but also on the strength of the filler metal. |
