Biography

D.Sc. (Tech.) Antti Ahola works as an Adjunct Professor (Docent) and Group Leader in the research group of Steel Structures in the field of Mechanical Engineering. Antti Ahola has specialized in the performance of low-alloyed high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels, with a particular emphasis on welded joints. His work aims to advance calculation and analysis methods for fatigue assessments of welded components, contributing to a deeper understanding of the fatigue phenomenon and influencing factors. Antti's research utilizes the 4R method developed at LUT University to address critical factors influencing fatigue performance. His active projects include: i) evaluating variable load sequences and their effects in structural components, and ii) assessing the applicability of simulation models related to material and geometry in weldments, as well as conducting comprehensive fatigue assessments.
