Abstract

The mechanical performance degradation of welded seams under cyclic loading may lead to the failure of membrane structures. To investigate the influence of the off-axis angle and the the welded width on mechanical performance, the elastic modulus, ratcheting strain, residual strain and strain energy were studied based on the uniaxial cyclic tensile tests of welded seams. The results show that the elastic modulus of the welded seam specimens shows obvious anisotropy under cyclic loading, and the welded width has the greatest influence on the elastic modulus of the welded seam specimens with 15° and 75° off-axis angles, under which off-axis angle the welded seam specimens have good recoverability. The irreversible plastic strain of the axial welded seam specimens is close to that of the membrane specimen. The plastic development of the specimen is obvious under large off-axis angles (30°, 45°, 60°), and the final residual displacement of the welded seam specimens reach 3%–4%.
