Electrically Welded Structures Under Dynamic Stress

In the general application of welding to various types of constructions, those structures carrying variable stress have been least adapted to fabricated construction. In the present paper it is shown that by properly considering such factors as maximum working stress, residual welding stresses, and stress concentration, it is indeed possible to weld any type of structure without fear of trouble. Many various cases of such structures are described as to their method of fabrication and success of operation.
