Effect of Transverse Vibration on Tensile Properties of Weldments

Abstract

In this paper an attempt has been made to study the effects of frequency and amplitude of transverse vibrations on yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, breaking strength and percentage of elongation of the weldments. The weldments were prepared under different vibratory conditions. The frequency and amplitude of transverse vibrations during experimentation were varied from 0 to 400 HZ and 0 um to 40 um respectively. The tensile properties of the weldemts prepared under vibratory conditions are found to have improved where as the percentage of elongation reduced when compared with the stationary welded test specimens. It has also been observed that increase in frequency of transverse vibration results in the improved tensile properties of the weldments except the percentage of elongation which descreases with increase in frequency of vibration.
