Elastic FE simulation with inherent deformation and interface element is an ideal and
practical computational approach for predicting welding distortion in production of thin plate …

As a sequel to another paper of the authors on welding-induced residual stresses [1], this
paper aimed to obtain a direct measurement database of welding-induced initial …

Both numerical approach and experimental method were employed to investigate angular
distortion and welding residual stress of thick-plate multi-pass T-joints made of high strength …

In the present study, machine learning algorithms have been used to predict residual stress
during electron beam welding of stainless steel using the information of input process …

The demand for lightweight structures in ship fabrication to improve performance and fuel
savings has led to increasing use of thin-section structures. However, welding such …

Buckling distortion as a troublesome engineering issue is easily generated in thin-plate arc-
welded components (generally less than 4 mm in thickness). This study aims to clarify the …

The welding process is the basic technique of joining in the shipbuilding industry. This
method generates welding distortions that cause a lot of problems during the manufacturing …

In friction stir welding, assemblies are joined by means of plasticising, shearing and stirring
non-molten material. The heat generation is directly related to the viscous behaviour of …

The objective of the present paper is to develop nonlinear finite element method models for
predicting the weld-induced initial deflection and residual stress of plating in steel stiffened …

The present paper investigates, numerically, two welding techniques, by comparing the
residual stresses introduced by each welding process. The first part of the paper proposes …
