The welding residual stress of lap joints of thin steel sheets was measured by the cosα X-ray
diffraction method and compared with the numerical simulation. The longitudinal residual …

Abstract Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process is an Additive Manufacturing (AM) technique
that allows producing metallic parts of any kind of geometry with densities greater than …

This paper presents a method for predicting fatigue crack propagation in welded stiffened
panels accounting for the effects of residual stresses. Well known power law models were …

Weld residual stresses have a great effect on the fatigue strength of welding structures. As
an internal stress, the residual stress is unfounded to be treated as the conventional …

Welding-induced residual stresses evolve under external loading and fatigue actions. This
paper examines the effects of a variety of influencing factors on the residual stress evolution …

Pulsed Nd: YAG laser beam welding (P-LBW) and pulsed tungsten inert gas (P-TIG) welding
were used to prepare full penetration bead-on-plate weldments of 1.6 mm thick Ti-5Al-2.5 Sn …

Offshore wind turbine support structures, which connect the wind turbine transition piece
and/or tower to the seabed, are located below the sea level and are in direct contact with …

In this paper, the relaxation of weld residual stress in a 316L stainless steel weld joint under
cyclic loading was researched by experimental and finite element method (FEM). Initially …

Abstract Direct Metal Deposition (DMD) process is considered to be an efficient and reliable
manufacturing method for the production of complex parts in many design applications. The …

Redistribution of residual stress during crack growth in butt welded joint of Al5083-H111 was
studied. Furthermore, the effect of post weld heat treatment and removing the weld …
