TTS402 - Design of Welded Connections: Steel Weldments
Course Description
This seminar is for individuals who design equipment used for construction, agriculture, material handling and other general purposes. Attendees typically include design engineers and those associated with the production of steel weldments, such as manufacturing and welding engineers. AWS D14 standards are used to support the engineering principles presented in the course. Connections subject to static and cyclic loading are reviewed, with concentrated emphasis on cyclic loading (fatigue).
Specific topics include the following:
- Weld Process Basics
- Designing for Torsional Loading
- Basics of Welded Connections
- Distortion: Causes and Cures
- Details of Welded Connections
- Welding Metallurgy: Why Connections Crack and Tear
- Principles of Connection Design
- “Listen to the Steel”: (Learning from Failures)
- Theory of Fatigue of Welded Connections
- Cost Reduction Ideas
- Design of Fatigue Resistant Welded Connections
- Welding Demonstration
- Plant Tours
35 Clock Hours: Class - 35 CEUs - 3.5
