DESCRIPTION:Cetin Morris Sonsino\, Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Dur
 ability and System Reliability LBF\, Darmstadt/Germany\nAlmost all welded 
 structures are submitted to multiaxial loadings which cause locally multia
 xial stress states. Among them especially the ones with rotating principal
  stress directions are the most challenging in the strength and fatigue li
 fe assessment. Conventional hypothesis like von Mises\, Tresca or Principa
 l Stress fail\; they are not able to indicate the fatigue life reduction w
 hich is caused by such stress states. Therefore\, in the past years severa
 l research projects with welded steel\, aluminium and magnesium joints wer
 e performed for the development of appropriate assessment methods basing o
 n local stresses. The results found also access into the Fatigue Design Re
 commendations for Welded Structures of the International Institute of Weld
 ing (IIW).\nThis seminar will be followed 20-30 minutes of questions and s
 ome soft-drinks.\nBio : Cetin Morris SONSINO was educated at the Technisch
 e Universität Darmstadt (mechanical engineering diploma in 1972). He stat
 ed his professional career at the Fraunhofer-Institute for Structural Dura
 bility (LBF)\, Darmstadt\, was head of the department „Component Related
  Material Behaviour“ from 1985 to 2003\, as well as deputy director of t
 he institute twice\, and since 2003 has been member of the “Managing Boa
 rd” of the institute. Since 2012 he is scientific-technical advisor and 
 contact coordinator of LBF. Also\, He is Professor at University of the Sa
 arland  since 1995\, and at the Technische Universität Darmstadt “ sin
 ce 2002.\nHis main professional fields are random amplitude fatigue\, low-
 cycle fatigue\, high-temperature fatigue\, corrosion fatigue\, development
  and fatigue life evaluation of welded\, cast\, forged\, sintered and fibr
 e reinforced plastic components and structures under service loading.\nHe 
 received numerous awards for his research works\, including the August Woe
 hler Medal of the German Society of Materials Research and Testing (DVM ) 
 in 2001. He has about 480 publications\, 4 books\, 170 seminars and lectur
 es at conferences\, universities and companies in Europe\, USA and Far Eas
 t and 3 patents.
