The objective of this work is to clarify the effect of the structural restraint and the adjacent
welded joints in column-beam welded structure on the final residual stress distribution and …

The large amount of calculation time is one of the major obstacles to the industrial
application of numerical welding simulation. The thermal cycle method is a newly developed …

Welding distortion not only degrades the fabrication accuracy of ship hull blocks but also
decreases the productivity due to correction works. The accurate prediction of welding …

This paper investigates the strengthening by welding method for axial-loaded circular steel
tubes under service load, with a particular focus on the effects of service load and welding …

In the past decades, thin-plate weldments have been increasingly used in various
engineering structures to meet the requirements of lightweight. However, deformation …

The inherent strain method is a powerful and efficient tool to simulate welding deformation,
so it recently becomes the mainstream way to estimate the total welding distortion of large …

The present study purposes to systematically investigate the viability of the fast computation
method “thermal cycle method (TCM)” for simulating welding residual stresses (WRS) in …

Residual stresses are one of the major issues in welded parts, since they could be
detrimental to the integrity of components and structure. Their determination is rather …

The dominant phenomenon in laser welding processes is heat transfer by conduction,
making it crucial to gain insights into energy distribution within the heat-affected region …

Three thick-plate T-joints with different pass arrangements were fabricated using low alloy
steel. Experiments were conducted to measure the angular distortion and residual stress …
