...Masahito Mochizuki; Masao Toyoda Welding generates thermal distortion and residual stress, and it is well known that they affect the performance of welded structures by contributing to brittle fracture, fatigue, buckling deformation, and stress-corrosion cracking. Welding distortions and residual...

... elastic-plastic finite element analysis. The manufacturing assessment is performed so that the dies may be designed to compensate for plate distortions that occur during various stages of manufacturing, including the effects of weld distortion. The manufacturing simulation benchmarks against measurements...

...B. Yildirim; H. F. Nied In this study, finite element models are developed to analyze and predict the transient temperature profiles, residual stresses, and distortion incurred during deposition of protective overlay cladding on boiler tube waterwall panels. Plane strain models are used to simulate...
