As it has been well appreciated, the weld-induced deformation control is one of the most important issues from view point of efficiency in ship production. The weld-induced deformation is more serious in the case of thin plate block than in the case of relatively thick plate block, since, for example, heat affect zone of thin plates is wider than that of thick plates for the same heat input. Among weld-induced deformation, buckling deformation due to shrinkage and residual stress in weld line direction is one of the most serious deformation type. This paper is concerned with the controling the buckling deformation of thin plate fillet weld by applying the tensioning method. Weld experiments have been carried out for specimens with varying the magnitude and direction of tension load. The results are graphically represented to show the effect of tensioning method upon reducing the weld-induced deformation. From the present findings, its has been seen that tensioning method is one of the useful ways to control the weld-induced deformation of fillet weld of thin plates.

This paper is concerned with the simulator to estimate deformation due to welding of panel blocks. An efficient computer program system has been developed which can be applied both to estimation of weld-induced deformation under the given welding conditions and to reflection of effect when methods for deformation control are applied. This paper briefly describes the background of the present simulator and sows some results applying the simulator to estimation of weld-induced deformation. In addition results when methods for deformation control are applied are also included.

Although weld-induced deformation is inevitable in shipbuilding, it is important to reduce it as low as possible during fabrication for a more efficient production of ships' blocks. The weld-induced deformation is more serious in thin plates than in thick plates because heat affect zone of thin plates is wider than that of thick plates, and in addition internal and external constraints much more influence upon weld-induced deformation of thin plates. This paper deals with the application of the mechanical tensioning method to butt weld of thin plates to reduce the transverse and longitudinal deformation. in order to investigate the quantitative effect of tensioning method upon the reduction of angular deformation and shrinkage in longitudinal and transverse direction of weld line, butt welding test have been carried out for several thin plate specimens with varying plate thickness and magnitude of tensile load. Numerical simulation has been also carried out to compare the weld-induced deformation and residual stress. From the present study, it has been found that the tensioning method is very effective on reduction of weld-induced residual stress as well as weld-induced deformation.

As it has been well appreciated from the viewpoint of efficiency, The weld-induced deformation control is one of the most important issues in marine structure production. In the case of thin plate block, weld-induced deformation is more serious than in the case of relatively thick plate block. The heat affect zone of thin plates is wider than that of thick plates with the same heat input. Among weld-induced deformations, the buckling deformation by the shrinkage and residual stress in the weld line direction is one of the most serious deformation types. This paper is concerned with controlling buckling deformations for the thin plate fillet welds, by using the tensioning method. A numerical analysis was carried out to illustrate several dominant buckling modes due to compressive residual stress in the fillet weldsof thin plates. Then, weld tests were carried out for 20 specimens with varying plate thickness, and with different magnitudes and directions for the tension load. The results graphically represented to shaw the effect of the tensioning method in reducing the weld-induced deformation. From the present findings, it was seen that the tensioning method is a useful way to control weld-induced deformations in the fillet welds of thin plates.

This paper is concerned with the simulator to estimate deformation due to welding of panel blocks. An efficient computer program system has been developed which can be applied to estimation of weld-induced deformation under the given welding conditions. The theoretical background of the present simulator is described with the prediction model for the various type of weld-induced deformation. The developed simulator has been applied to estimation of weld-induced deformation in panel block assembly. This paper ends with some findings from applying the developed simulator.

A three-dimensional finite element (FEM) model has been developed to simulate the deformation due to bead on plate welding of curved plates with curvature in the weld direction. By using traditional method such as thermal-elastic-plastic FEM, the weld-induced deformation can be predicted accurately. However, this method is not practical approach to analyze the deformation of large and complex structures such as ship hull structures in view of time and cost. This study is classified from the aspect of equivalent load based on inherent strain near the weld line. Therefore, the residual deformation can be simply computed by elastic analysis. Further more, a practical solution is proposed to consider the contact between the plate and the positioning jig by judging the reaction forces of the jig at calculation step and the effect of the longitudinal curvature is closely considered.

The portion of thin plate is expected to increases as to the development of design and fabrication technology. The weld-induced deformation is more serious in thin plates than in thick plates because heat affect zone of thin plates is wider than that of thick plates, and in addition internal and external constraints much more influence upon weld-induced deformation of thin plates. This paper deals with the application of the mechanical tensioning method to fillet weld of thin plates to reduce the weld-induced deformation. For this, fillet welding test have been carried out for several thin plate specimens with varying plate thickness and magnitude of tensile load. From the present study, it has been found that the tenssoning method is effective on reduction of weld-induced deformation.
