In this paper, we conducted finite element analysis to investigate the residual stress redistributions of weldment due to cutting. To evaluate the effect of the residual stress on the fatigue behavior of weldment, test specimens are commonly cut from the weldment, but the distributions of the residual stress in the cut specimen should be different from those in the original weldment. Our work is to evaluate the difference between the residual stresses before and after weldment-cutting to understand the effect of cutting on the residual stress. Transient heat analysis, elastic-plastic mechanical analysis and element removal technique are used to simulate the welding and cutting procedures on the commercial finite element code ABAQUS.

A straight pipe is used after complicated bending work in a mechanical system. In this work process, the plastic deformation of the pipe produces residual stress in the pipe. This residual stress significantly affects the behavior of pipe fracture. For this reason, residual stress must be evaluated. Measuring the residual stress of a U-shaped pipe is difficult with existing destructive and nondestructive measurement methods. In this paper, the residual stress of a U-shaped aluminum pipe (99.7% pure aluminum) was evaluated from the Raman shift by Raman spectroscopy and FEM(Finite Element Method, FEM) analysis. The results of the stiffness test by FEM analysis are compared with those by experiments. The analyzed results of the Raman spectra showed a similar tendency with the results of the FEM analysis with respect to the residual stress distributions in U-shaped pipes. Also, the results of the bending tests showed resemblance to each other.

Residual stress is one of the causes which make defects in engineering components and materials. Many methods have been developing to measure the residual stress. Though these methods provide the information of the residual stress, they also have disadvantage like a little damage, time consumption, etc. In this paper, we devised a new experimental technique to measure residual stress in materials with a combination of laser speckle pattern interferometry and spot heating. The speckle pattern interferometer measures in-plane deformation during the heat provides for much localized stress relief. 3-D shape is used for determining heat temperature and other parameters. The residual stresses are determined by the amount of strain that is measured subsequent to the heat and cool-down of the region being interrogated. A simple model is presented to provide a description of the method. In this paper, we could experimentally confirm that residual stress can be measured by using laser interferometry and spot heating method.

Steel cord which is used as reinforcement in car tires is produced by wet-drawing process. Recently the quality improvement of the steel cord product is demanded by the tire market. After cold drawing process, produced residual stresses have a harmful effect on the durability of the wire and become the cause which decreases the quality of the product. Therefore, to improve the quality of the steel cord product, the research regarding the method of residual stress relaxation is necessary. To evaluate the quality of the cold drawn wire, it is very important to measure the residual stress, because the residual stress decides a variety of the quality level which is demanded in the cold drawn wire. The aim of this study is to propose residual stress relaxation method in the drawn wire using FE-analysis. The validity of the analysis results was verified by Nano indentation test.

The paper represents the effects of the drive-in process parameters on the residual stress profile of the $p^+$ silicon film. Since the residual stress profile is notuniform along the direction normal to the surface, the residual stress is assumed to be a polynomial function of the depth. All the coefficients of the polynomial can be determined by measuring of the thicknesses and the deflections of cantilevers and the deflection of a rotating beam with a surface profiler meter and a microscope. As the drive-in temperature or the drive-in time increases, the boron concentration decreases and the magnitude of the average residual tensile stress decreases. Then, near the surface of the $p^+$ film the residual tensile stress is transformed into the residual compressive stress and its magnitude increases.

The design of the substrate significantly affects the thermal history and the residual stress formation in the vicinity of a repaired region by a directed energy deposition (DED) process. The occurrence of defects in the repaired region depends on the thermal history and residual stress formation. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the inclined angle and depth of the substrate on the thermal and residual stress characteristics in the vicinity of a repaired region by a DED process through two-dimensional finite element analyses (FEAs). The temperature and residual stress distributions in the vicinity of the repaired region were predicted according to the combination of the inclined angle and depth of the substrate. The effects of the inclined angle and depth on the depth of the heat affected zone and the maximum value of the residual stress were examined. A proper combination of the inclined angle and depth of the substrate was estimated to decrease the residual stress in the vicinity of the repaired region.

For the purpose of clarifying the influence of welding residual stress to the fatigue crack propagations behaviour, an analytical investigation based on finite element method is performed to examine the opening behaviour of tip-closed crack in the compressive residual stress. A finite element model comprised of contact elements for the crack plane and plane stress elements for the base material is used to evaluate crack opening stress of the crack existing in the residual stress field. Also an analytical method based on the superposition principle to estimate the length of opened part of tip closed crack and the stress distribution adjacent to the crack during uploading is applied to the finite element model. The software for the analysis is ABAQUS, which is a general purpose finite element package. The results show that stresses distributed on the crack surfaces are reduced and approached to zero as the applied stresses are increased up to crack tip opening stress and no mechanical discontinuity is found at the boundary of contact elements and plane stress elements. It is verified that the opening behavior of the fatigue crack in the residual stress can be predicted by finite element method with the proposed analytical method.

An application of the instrumented indentation technique has been expanded from the measurements of hardness and elastic modulus to the analysis of residual stress. A slope of the indentation loading curve increases (or decreases) according to compressive (or tensile) residual stress. A theoretical equation has been established for quantifying residual stress from the slope change. However, a precise observation of the remnant indents is indispensible because the theoretical approach needs actual contact information. In addition, the conventional hardness test is still used for predicting the residual stress distribution of welded joints. Thus, we observed the three-dimensional morphologies of the remnant indents formed on artificial stress states and analyzed stress effects on morphological recovery of the indents. First, a depth recovery ratio, which has been regarded as a sensitive stress indicator, did not show a clear dependency with the residual stress. Thus an analysis on volumetric recovery was tried in this study and yielded a inverse proportional behavior with the residual stress. In addition, an elastic to plastic volume recovery ratio showed more significant correlation with the residual stress.

A prediction method for determining the welding residual stress by artificial neural network is proposed. A three-dimensional transient thermomechanical analysis has been performed for the CO $_{2}$ Arc Welding using the finite element method. The validity of the above results is demonstrated by experimental elastic stress relief method which is called Holl Drilling Method. The first part of numarical analysis performs a three-dimensional transient heat transfer anslysis, and the second part then uses results of the first part and performs a three-dimensional transient thermo-clasto-plastic analysis to compute transient and residual stresses in the weld. Data from the finite element method were used to train a backpropagation neural network to predict residual stress. Architecturally, the finite element method were used to train a backpropagation voltage and the current, a hidden layer to accommodate failure mechanism mapping, and an output layer for residual stress. The trained network was then applied to the prediction of residual stress in the four specimens. The results of predicted residual stress have been very encouraging.
