This paper represents Part 2 of the parallel paper Part 1, where the strong form hybrid RBF-
FD method was developed for solving thermo-elasto-plastic problems. It addresses the …

A preliminary computational study of the stresses developed during the cooling of thin hot-
rolled steel strip on the run-out table using the finite element program ABAQUS is described …

Simulations using the finite element method (FEM) were done to understand the effects of
heating/cooling rates on the distribution of residual stresses. Two material parameters from …

Continuously welded rails are widely used in the Iran railway network, which are generally
built using the flash-butt welding process. To accurately model the flash-butt welding …

This paper deals with the modelling and calculation of thermal, metallurgical and
mechanical phenomena which occur in the quenching of steels. Especially the influence of …

Quenching and self-tempering (QST) is an advanced thermo-mechanical process for “H”
shaped steel beams. QST is an intensive surface cooling and self-tempering process that …

Flash butt welding is commonly used in the manufacture of continuously welded rails. It is a
resistance welding method, often performed in stationary plants, which consists of electrical …

The generalised plane strain FE analysis for computational prediction of the deflection and
residual stress in arbitrarily supported, hot-rolled beams cooled on the runout table …

This paper presents the results of the simulation of the forging of a connecting rod. The
calculation has been carried out by the code FORGE3 developed at the CEMEF laboratory …
