The influence of welding deformation types of hybrid node on assembly suitability

The article presents welding deformation types identified in a hybrid node. The hybrid node is a new structure element. Its implementation requires solving many problems, especially those related to the technology. The most important problems in this field are welding deformations arising at the prefabrication stage of a node fabrication. Welding deformations influence the quality of prefabricated section and cause an in¬crease of manufacturing costs. Therefore, a definition of influence of each deformation type on assembly suitability is a significant problem. The expert method presented in the article makes it possible to define this influence.
