Welding residual stresses were calculated by two dimensional thermal elasto-plastic analysis using element method. Complicated plastic behavior during heat transfer was simulated with time. Fist, temperature distributions. To consider time varying behavior of material properties and loading and unloading processes, iterative calculation based on initial stiffness method was carried out. The method proposed by Yamata was used in time increment control which determined the accuracy of claculation. comparison with other caculated and experimental results shows fairly good agreement.

In the present paper, we evaluate the effects of the safe-end length and thickness of the similar metal weld (SMW) of safety injection nozzles on stress distributions at the dissimilar metal weld (DMW). For this evaluation, we carry out detailed 2-D axisymmetric finite element analyses by considering four different values of the safe-end length and four different values of the thickness of SMW. Based on the results obtained, we found that the SMW thickness affects the axial stresses at the center of the DMW for the shorter safe-end length; on the other hand, it does not affect the hoop stresses. In terms of the safe-end length, the values of the axial and hoop stresses at the inner surface of the DMW center increase as the safe-end length increases. In particular, for the cases considered in the present study, the stress distributions at the DMW center can be categorized according to certain values of safe-end length.

Residual stress caused in the weldments with high restraint force are often during welding observed in the weldments of large size nozzles or radial tanks. The reason is that quantitative analysis about thermal stresses during welding is lack for this weldments. To verify Finite Elements Method(FEM) theory, the temperature was measured with thermocouple in a real time in this paper. Also analysis of the thermal stress for welding condition is performed by ABAQUS program package on various welding condition in 304 stainless steel butt welding.

It is well known that the strength and the fatigue life of welded steel components are affected extensively by welding residual stresses distributed around their weldments under not only monotonic but also cyclic loads. The externally applied loads are to be superimposed with the welding residual stresses, so that unexpected deformations and failures of the components might occur. These residual stresses are not kept constant, but relaxed or redistributed during in service. Under monotonic loads the relaxation takes place when the sum of external and welding residual stress exceeds locally the yield stress of material used. By the way, it is shown that under cyclic loads the welding residual stress is considerably relieved by the first or the early cycles of loads, and then gradually relaxed with increasing loading cycles. Although many investigations in this field have been carried out, the phenomenon and mechanism of the stress relaxation are still not clear, and there are few comprehensive models to predict amount of relaxed welding residual stress. In this study, the characteristics of the welding residual stress relaxation under monotonic and cyclic loads were investigated, and a model to predict quantitatively amount of welding residual stress relaxation was proposed.

오-스테나이트계 스테인레스강을 용접육성한 강판의 박리균열의 원인에 대하여 강중의 수소거동을 중심으로 고찰해 보았다. 강중의 수소온도 분포를 추정하는데는 확산 방정식을 기초로하여 수치해석이 유력하며 그 기초적사항에 대해 제문헌을 인용하여 설명했으며, 또 시험편에 대하여 계산과 실험치의 결과를 이용하여 비교하였다. 이들로부터 박리균열의 발생에 대한 미시적 임계조건을 도출하여, 이들이 한정된 실험의 범위내이지만 실증할 수 있음을 나타내었다. 그러나 박리균열의 원인의 하나인 잔류응력에 대해서는 아직 불명한 점이 많으나, 냉각속도에 따라 변화하며 그것이 수소농도라고 하는 관점에서 미시적 임계조건에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.

Corrosion fatigue crack propagation behavior of duplex stainless steel weldments in substitute ocean water was investigated to evalulate effects of micro-structural change and residual stresses. Fatigue crack propagation rate was found influenced markedly .alpha./.gamma. phase ratio but little by residual stresses. Fatigue crack propagation rate is higher in the corrosive environment than in room atmosphere. The crack propagation rate estimated by the measurement of striation spacing was higher than that, obtained by crack length measurement in low .DELTK.K region. At hight .DELTK.K region, however, both crack propagation rates were found to be identical.

Generally, it is used the compensation spring to compensate the inaccuracy of screen image induced by thermal deformation in CRT monitor. Its mechanism is bi-metallic system made of heterogeneous metals and these is bonded by laser welding. But laser welding induces the non-uniform temperature distribution and locally residual stress is yielded by these temperature deviation. This paper studies residual stress of laser weldment using FEA and hole drilling method. The results are followed. In the case of heterogeneous materials weldment, higher residual stress induced in the weldment region of SUS 304 which have larger CTE than Ni 36 and residual stress on the middle of specimen is higher by 10.9% than that of its surface Measured residual stress of SUS 304 yield 481MPa and that of Ni 36 is 140.5MPa in the vicinity of the welding region. And the residual distribution is very similar in comparison with FEA result.

Measurement of welding residual stresses is one of important tasks to assess the structural integrity of welded structures. For operating components, especially, nondestructive techniques are required. By now, authors have proposed a new residual stress evaluation method, the bead flush method, where residual stresses are calculated from eigenstrain distribution determined by surface removal of reinforcement. In this paper, a brief description of the bead flush method is given and its utility and problem to be overcome are discussed. And also stabilization method of solution set of eigenstrain in inverse analysis is proposed.

An investigation was performed to predict residual stress redistribution for the crack propagation initially through tensile residual stress field. The analytical method, which is based on Dugdale model by finite element analysis using elastic analysis method considering the superposition principle, was proposed to estimate the redistribution of residual stress caused by crack propagation. The various aspect of distribution of residual stress caused by crack propagation was examined based on the configuration change of specimen. The analysis results show that the aspect of redistribution of residual stress caused by crack propagation depends on the width of the specimen provided that the initial distribution of residual stress is identical.

The residual stresses and. distortions of structures by welding exert negative effect on the safety of railroad structures. This investigation performs a thermal elasto-plastic analysis using finite element techniques to evaluate residual stresses in butted-welded joint. Considering this initial residual stresses, local stress and strain at the critical location (weld toe) during the loading were analyzed by elastic plastic finite element analysis. Fatigue crack initiation life and fatigue crack propagation life of butt-welded specimen were predicted by local strain approach and Neuber's role and Paris law. It is demonstrated that fatigue life estimates by local strain approach closely approximate the experimental results.
