Abstract
This symposium summarises the achievements within a joint
R&D project "GJUTDESIGN-2005 - Design kvalitet och NDT
för gjutna utmattningsbelastade komponenter". It brought
together 25 Nordic organisations aiming to co-ordinated
development of improved methods and tools for fatigue
design of cast structures and components. The partners
include 10 industrial companies that design and
manufacture construction machinery, trucks, robots,
windmills, paper machines and ship engines, 5 foundries,
engineering consulting firm, research organisations and
universities.
Selected 20 papers deal with mechanisms, understanding,
practical assessment and specific industrial challenges
in fields of optimisation of casting process, material
properties and component design, influence of defects and
crack growth mechanisms on fatigue resistance, inspection
and quality assurance to control of defects, and complex
service loading in terms of variable amplitude and
multiaxiality.
