Prediction of Welding Stress and Deformation by 3D-FEM Analysis and Its Accuracy

3차원 유한요소해석에 의한 용접응력과 변형의 해석 및 정도

,An residual stress and out-of plane deformation produced by butt welding was analyzed by four kinds of 3D-FEM programs(Thermal El-P1 Analysis) developed by authors. The magnitude of deformation of perpendicular to the welding line generated by butt welding was large when the reduced integration method was used. This was because of removal of the locking phenomenon, which it was generally known that the stiffness of the shear component of out-of-plane was largely evaluated. And the magnitude of residual stress was analyzed by using the FEM program based on a large and small deformation theory was similar to that was analyzed by the redeced integration method.
