Abstract
VTT Manufacturing Technology participated in the
four-year Intemordic KONSPRO-project, which was completed
in 1997. The project work in Finland included vehicle
field measurements, component testing, fatigue
assessments and especially research of multiaxial fatigue
and integration of FEM and fatigue. This project lead to
the continuation in form of a national project:
'Mechanical Simulation & Fatigue". This on-going project
concentrates on the evaluation of the stresses and
strains for different fatigue analysis methods using
mechanical simulation together with FEA.
In addition to these, VTT participates the on-going
EU-project: "Fatigue of High Tensile Steels in Ship
Structures", where VTT conducts part of the small and
large scale component fatigue testing. Also the
co-operation between VTT and Lappeenranta University of
Technology is intense. The main common research area at
the moment is :"High Cycle Fatigue of Welded Structures
and Hot Spot -Approach". This presentation summarises
part of the final and the preliminary results of the
above mentioned research projects.
