Biography

D.Sc. (Tech.) Antti Ahola works as Post-Doctoral Researcher in the Laboratory of Steel Structures. His research work in focused on the performance of  high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels with a particular attention to welded joints. The objective of his research work is develop calculation and analysis methods for fatigue assessments of welded components that enable understanding fatigue phenomenon, as well as consideration of key factors influencing fatigue performance through the 4R method developed at LUT University. The active research projects specifically involve evalutions of variable load sequences in high-strength ship steel applications and applicability of simulation models in the context of material and geometry models of weldments and fatigue assessments.
