In the field of welding the mechanical behavior of a welded structure under consideration may be predicted via heat transfer and welding residual stress analysis. Usually such numerical analyses are limited to small regular mesh models or test specimens. Nevertheless, there is very few strength assessment of the whole structure that includes the effect of welded residual stress. The present work is based on the specialized finite element codes for the calculation of nonlinear heat transfer details and residual stress including the external load on the welded RHS (Rectangular Hollow Section) T-joint connections of the whole structure. First the thermal history of the combined fillet and butt-welded T-joint equal width cold-formed RHS are calculated using nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) considering the quarter model of the joint. Then using this thermal history the residual stress around the joints has been evaluated. To validity the FEA result, the calculated residual stresses were compared with the available experimental results. The residual stress obtained from the quarter model is mapped to the full model and then to the whole structure model using FEM codes. The results from the FEM codes were exported to the commercial package for visualization and further analysis applying loads and boundary conditions on the whole structure. The residual stress redistribution along with the external applied load is examined computationally.

It is desirable to predict springback quantitatively and accurately for the tool and process design in sheet stamping operations, however, it is blown very difficult. The result of springback analysis by the finite element method is sensitively influenced by numerical factors such as blank element size, number of integration point, punch velocity, contact algorithm etc. In the present work, a parametric study by Taguchi method is performed in order to evaluate the influence of numerical factors on springback Quantitatively and to obtain the combination of numerical factors which yields the best approximation to experimental data. Since springback is determined by the residual stress after forming process, it is important to evaluate stress distribution accurately. The oscillation in the time history curve of stress obtained by explicit FEM says that the stress solution at termination time is in very unstable state. Therefore, a variability study is also carried out in this study in order to assess the stability of implicit springback analysis starting from the stress solution by explicit forming simulation. The 2D draw bending process, one of the NUMISHEET '93 benchmark problems, is adopted as an application model.

In this study, theoretical stress field analysis near the crack tip under tension-compression loading was performed. The results of the theoretical stress analysis were compared to the results of Finite Element Method(FEM). From this study, generation of tensile residual stress at crack tip was proved after 1-cycle of tension-compression loading, and the fracture toughness and the fracture load of a structure can be decreased by the residual stress.

As a fundamental study on effects of thermal-cycles on residual stress of ceramics/metal joints, residual stresses in $Si_3N_4$/SUS304 joint specimens were measured before and single thermal-cycle by X-ray diffraction method and finite element method(FEM). The residual stress was found to increase after single thermal-cycle, which was agreeable with the results of residual stress measurement by X-ray diffraction method and residual stress analysis by finite element method. After the residual stress measurement, 4-point bending tests were performed. The relationship between the bending strength, the thermal-cycle temperature and hold time was examined. The bending strength was found to decrease with the increase of residual stress in linear relation.

In this paper, temperature distribution and thermal stress are investigated considering engine peak pressure and the time average temperature distribution in the piston under running conditions for the marine diesel engine. The induced stress are calculated by the Finite Element Method (FEM). The results obtained are summerized as follows. 1) The results calculated by the FEM present good agreement with other numerical solution in literatures. 2) It is comfirmed that the maximum compressive stresses are induced in the part of outside wall between the piston crown and the pin bush 3) In the axial direction, the hoop stresses are changed its sign at the portion of crown near the inner wall side. 4) Large gradient of temperature is shown in the piston crown near the side wall in the axial direction, in the part between the piston crown and the pin bush in radial direction. 5) In case of stress distribution of piston wall surface in the axial direction, the hoop stress is a little greater than axial stress, and the latter is greater than the radial stress.

The thermal residual stresses were estimated for brazed Si3N4/S.S.316 joints with Cu/Mo multi-interlayers using FEM, and their bending strengths at room temperature were measured for various interlayer configura-tions. The Cu, Mo multi-interlayer decreased the maximum residual stress in Si3N4 and caused the residual stress redistribution rsulting in the high residual stress at Mo interlayer. The stress distribution in the joints as well as the maximum residual stress in silicon nitride were found to be main factors for determining bending strengths and Weibull modulous of the joints. The bending strength of the brazed Si3N4/S.S.316 joints with specific Cu, Mo multi-interlayer system were found to be above 400 MPa.

In this paper, the contact stress and strain distributions in elastomer O-ring seals have been analyzed using a non-linear finite element method. The stress behavior of PTFE materials is assumed as Odgen model because the sealing clearance between the flange and the surface of the O-ring is not small and the sealing pressure of working fluids covers from the atmospheric pressure to high pressure of 15MPa. The contact normal force and stress in wavy O-rings in which is developed for this analysis are uniformly distributed along the flange and the wall of the rectangular groove. And the normal sealing forces are also kept high compared to other contact sealing models such as the conventional O-ring and X-ring, Thus, the FEM computed results indicate that the sealing characteristic of wavy O-rings is food compared with other contact seals.

This paper represents to develop a computer software system which is capable to analyze the phase transformation of high strength steel(BV-AH32) and to predict heat transfer, residual stress due to phase transformation during Gas Metal Arc(GMA) welding. The developed model was taken into account temperature dependent of young's modules, coefficient of thermal expansion and yield stress as well as the double ellipsoidal heat distribution by the moving arc. The results showed that the longitudinal and transverse residual stresses calculated by the coupled analysis of heat transfer, residual stress and phase transformation are in good agreement with the experimental data. In addition, the temperature distribution as well as longitudinal and transverse residual stresses of weldment were determined at the 1-pass and 2-pass of welding.

The static and dynamic structural integrity qualification was performed through the seismic analysis of a small-size Savonius-type vertical wind turbine at dead weight plus wind load and seismic loads. The ANSYS finite element program was used to develop the FEM model of the wind turbine and to accomplish static, modal, and dynamic frequency response analyses. The stress of the wind turbine structure for each wind load and dead weight was calculated and combined by taking the square root of the sum of the squares (SRSS) to obtain static stresses. Seismic response spectrum analysis was also carried out in the horizontal (X and Y) and vertical (Z) directions to determine the response stress distribution for the required response spectrum (RRS) at safe-shutdown earthquake with a 5% damping (SSE-5%) condition. The stress resulting from the seismic analysis in each of the three directions was combined with the SRSS to yield dynamic stresses. These static and dynamic stresses were summed by using the same SRSS. Finally, this total stress was compared with the allowable stress design, which was calculated based on the requirements of the KBC 2009, KS C IEC 61400-1, and KS C IEC 61400-2 codes.

In this study, stress and deflection behaviours of T-type welding joint applied to HE200M steel beam and column were investigated in finite element method (FEM) under different distributed loads. In the 3D-FEM modelling, glue option was used to contact between steel materials and weld nuggets. Geometrical model was designed as 3-dimensional solid in ANSYS software program. After that, homogeneous, linear and isotropic properties were used to design to materials of model. Solid-92 having 3-dimensional, 4 faced and 10-noded was selected as element type. In consequence of mesh operation, elements of 13285 and nodes of 28086 were occurred. Load distribution was applied to top surface of steel beam to determine behaviours of stress and deflection. As a result of FEM analysis applied with the loads of 55,000 N, 110,000 N and 220,000 N, maximum values were obtained as 116 N/$mm^2$, 232 N/$mm^2$ and 465 N/$mm^2$ for stress and obtainedas 1,083 mm, 2,166 mm and 4.332 mm for deflection, respectively. When modelling results and classical calculation values were compared, it was obtained difference of 10 % for stress values and 2.5% for deflection values.
