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 …

This paper deals with the analysis of residual stresses in hot-rolled complex beams. After
rolling, residual stresses appear during the cooling period when the temperature is not …

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 …

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 …

A thermo-mechanical finite element analysis model is developed to predict residual stress
patterns in hot-rolled sections. The model is first verified against experimental …

The paper presents a novel numerical strategy to analyse steel columns in fire, based on the
concept of voxel. The material obeys to an elasto-plastic constitutive law that degrades with …

Connection of the finite element program with phase transformation models is often needed
when prediction of distribution of phase composition in the product is of interest. Depending …

After the continuous hot-rolling process, steel bars are immediately placed on the cooling
bed. At the beginning of the cooling, the material is at high temperatures, and the yield …

This article describes a new methodology to simulate the cooling process for an
asymmetrical Ri60 grooved rail, designed for city tramways, in a more realistic manner than …
