Fatigue curves of non-load caring fillet welded joint in high strength steel:
1 -in as welded condition;
2,3- after application of ultrasonic peening (fatigue testing and computation)
Ultrasonic stress measurement techniques are based on the acousticelasticity effect, according to which the velocity of elastic wave
propagation in solids is dependent on the mechanical stress

SUMMARY
1. Residual stresses play an important role in
operating performance of materials, parts and
structural elements. Their effect on the engineering
properties of materials such as fatigue and fracture,
corrosion resistance and dimensional stability can be
considerable. The residual stresses, therefore, should
be taken into account during design, fatigue
assessment and manufacturing of parts and welded
elements.
SUMMARY (continued)
2. The developed advanced ultrasonic method (UM),
based on it portable instrument and the supporting
software can be used for non-destructive residual
stress analysis in laboratory samples and real
structure elements in many applications for a wide
range of materials. The developed ultrasonic
technique was applied in construction industry,
shipbuilding, railway and highway bridges, aerospace
industry, oil and gas engineering and in other areas
during manufacturing, in service inspection and
repair of real parts and structures
SUMMARY (continued)
3. Ultrasonic Peening (UP/UIT) is a promising
technique for fatigue life improvement and could be
efficiently used for manufacturing, rehabilitation
and repair of welded elements and structures. The
developed computerized complex for UP was
successfully applied in different applications for
increasing of the fatigue life of welded elements,
elimination of distortions caused by welding and
other technological processes, residual stress
relieving, increasing of the hardness of the surface
of materials and surface nanocrystallization.
