Welding deformation and residual stress have negative influence on assembly accuracy and
service performance. Thermal elastic plastic (TEP) and inherent strain finite element …

Computational welding mechanics (CWM) provides an important technique for modelling
welding processes. Welding simulations are a key tool in improving the design and control …

Self-equilibrating residual stresses may occur in materials in the absence of external loading
due to internal strain inhomogeneity. While favourable distributions of residual stress can …

Welding distortion generated during assembly process has a strongly nonlinear feature,
which includes material nonlinearity, geometric nonlinearity, and contact nonlinearity. In …

As an application to predict and mitigate the out-of-plane welding distortion by elastic FE
analysis based on the inherent deformation theory, a panel structure of a pure car carrier …

Abstract In a Thermal-Elastic-Plastic (TEP) FE analysis to investigate welding induced
buckling of large thin plate welded structure such as ship panel, it will be extremely difficult …

Due to the increasing use of thin plates in lightweight welded structure, welding induced
buckling may occur in such thin plate welded structure. In this study, welding induced …

A test specimen with a thickness of 2.28 mm was selected as the examined object, to
investigate welding induced buckling. Bead-on-plate welding was conducted on the test …

A holistic investigation on out-of-plane welding distortion in fabrication of several stiffened
welded structures with considering prediction and mitigation is presented. Experiments of …

During the fabrication of lightweight ship panel, thin plates are usually employed and
welding induced buckling may be generated, which will significantly influence the …
