SOME QUESTIONS OF THE METHOD OF INVESTIGATING THE SERVICE RELIABILITY OF WELDED STRUCTURES

The method of investigating the service reliability of materials and welded structures should include the determination of their resistance to fatigue and brittle fracture, which is usually determined experimentally. In this investigation of welded locomotive truck frames, it is necessary to reproduce, to the greatest extent possible, the type of service failure and conditions determining the efficiency of structures.
