AVALIAÇÃO DA RESISTÊNCIA À FADIGA DE LIGAÇÕES SOLDADAS EM ESTRUTURAS METÁLICAS

Abstract

The analysis of fatigue resistance in metallic structure connections is a crucial aspect in modern engineering, since the safety and longevity of metallic constructions depend significantly on this meticulous process. This study aims to deepen our understanding of this important issue. To carry out this study, a comprehensive review of the available literature was carried out on the assessment of fatigue resistance of welded connections in metallic structures. The theoretical basis was supported by the work of Smith et al. (2020), Rethwisch (2018), Johnson (2018), Viana (2019) and Gibson and Ashby (1997). Throughout this study, it was hoped not only to expand knowledge about fatigue resistance, but also to contribute to the advancement of metal engineering by providing valuable insights that can influence future practices and standards. This is a fundamental step to guarantee the safety and durability of metal structures in a constantly evolving world. However, it is important to highlight that there is still room for innovation and development of new approaches. The phenomenon of fatigue cannot be underestimated and demands increasingly precise and detailed analysis. Therefore, the development of new methodologies becomes crucial to improve the accuracy of calculations and avoid premature wear of structures over time. Only through an ongoing commitment to research and innovation can we ensure that metal buildings remain safe and functional in the face of the challenges of the modern construction environment.
