Steel members have advantages of resisting torsion and axial compression. In design, residual stresses at the welded joint of T-shape steel pipes are one of the most important points to be considered. In this paper, characteristics of residual stresses of welded joints are clarified by carrying out 3D non-steady heat conduction analysis and 3D thermal elastic-plastic FE-analysis. According to the results, the production mechanism of residual stresses at the welded joint of T-shape steel pipe is clarified. In this paper, circumferential stresses depended on thermal histories but axial and radial stresses were more dependent on geometrical shape than thermal histories. Residual stresses in the axial direction on the lower part of pipe member were tensile, controlled by geometrical shape. However, in case of middle part, residual stresses in all the directions were controlled by thermal histories.

Residual stress is generated in the structures as a result of irregular elastic-plastic deformation during fabrication processes such as welding, heat treatment, and mechanical processing. There are several factors attributed to the origin of residual stresses, tensile or compressive. The stresses can be determined by destructive ways or nondestructive ways by using X-ray or neutron diffraction. This paper presented application of neutron diffraction technique to the residual stress measurement using 20 mm thick welded stainless steel plate(100$\times$100 $\textrm{mm}^2$)

SB41 material is welded automatically and is investigated some effects of the welding residual stress in the growth and propagation of fatigue crack, so as to study the fatigue behaviour in the welding residual stress field. The summarized results are as follows; 1) In case of the load amplitude is constant, as the stress ratio is changing to 0.1, 0.33 and 0.5 the propagation life is constant but the growth life decreases. And than, when maximum load or minimum load is constant as the stress ratio increases the growth life and propagation life. 2) It was shown that fatigue crack propagation ratio da/dN was almost constant regardless of the stress ratio change at constant load amplitude and that the larger stress ratio, the slower was the fatigue crack propagation ratio. 3) The opening ratio U is influenced by $K_max$ but it isn't only the function of $K_max$ because data range is very large. 4) The fatigue life of the specimens on tensile compressive residual stress field was decreased and increased respectably more than that of the base metal.

Friction welding of titanium and aluminium is numerically modeled by the axisymmetric thermal elastic-plastic analysis. In titanium/aluminium friction welding, heat transfers into the titanium substrate to a distance of z=10(mm) on the side of the bondline and into the whole region of the aluminium substrate having the large thermal conductivity. Adjacent to the bondline, $^{\sigma}r\;and\;^{\sigma\theta}$ are tensile in the substrate whose thermal shrinkage is large, and are compressive in the substrate whose thermal shrinkage is small. $\sigma_z$ along the radial direction is large tensile at the periphery of the component. Plastic strain occurs only close to the bondline in the aluminium substrate. In the components of plastic strain, $\varepsilon^p_r\;and\;\varepsilon^p_{\theta}$ have positive values and $\varepsilon^p_r$ has large negative value. However, $\varepsilon^p_r$ is produced not because of the severity of the mechanical restraint condition, but on purpose to satisfy the condition of the volume constant. A plastic work is proposed as a measure to evaluate the mechanical severity. The plastic work is larger in the aluminium substrate than that in the titanium substrate. The mechanical condition is severer in the aluminium substrate.

This paper presents application of neutron diffraction technique to the measurement of residual stresses in the T-type 20 m thick welded stainless steel plates(100$\times$50 $mm^2$ and 50$\times$50 $mm^2$). The High Resolution Powder Diffractormeter of the Korea Atomic Research Institute was utilized in the measurement. The power of nuclear reactor was 24 MWt and the measured reflection in the 220 plane (2$\theta$）was $92.66^{\circ}$. Poisson ratio of 0.265 and elastic constant of 211 GPa were applied to the calculation of stresses and strains. Three directional components such as normal, transverse, and longitudinal stresses were measured. The results showed that three components were tensile and became compressive along the y axis in the zone away from the welded center. The compressive stresses became tensile in the zone away from the center line of x axis. This may be due to the balance effect caused by the net stress to keep the specimen shape flat.

Most manufacturing processes such as welding, cutting and molding generate residual stresses on the surface of manufactured parts. Tensile residual stress is harmful to the surface integrity, which results in reduced fatigue life and causes other structural failures when the service stresses are superimposed on the residual stresses. In the research, the residual stresses of the high hardness steel (over $H_{RC}60$) workpiece (SKD11) machined by the hard turning were measured using Hole-drilling Method. Residual stress in the surface of hard turned workpiece was mainly appeared to be compressive stress.

During welding, the dissimilar metal butt welds of nuclear piping are typically subjected to repair welding in order to eliminate defects that are found during post-weld inspection. It has been found that the repair weld can significantly increase the tensile residual stress in the weldment, and therefore, accurate estimation of the weld residual stress due to repair weld, especially for dissimilar metal welds using Ni-based alloy 82/182 in nuclear components, is of great importance in order to assess susceptibility to primary water stress corrosion cracking. In the present study, the stress distributions of dissimilar metal butt welds in nuclear reactor piping subjected to repair weld were investigated based on detailed nonlinear finite element analyses. Particular emphasis was placed on the variation of the stress distribution in the dissimilar metal butt weld according to the finite element welding analysis sequence for the repair welding process.

Residual stress caused in the weldments with high restraint force are often observed during welding in the weldments of Inner and outdoor materials or radial tanks. The reason is that quantitative analysis about thermal stresses during laser welding is lacking 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 Comsol program package on various welding condition in SCP1-S butt welding. The principal stress in laser welding process is seen through the width direction. Also, it was confirmed that a change in base metal by thermal expansion made the stress in width direction stronger. Base metal close to the weld bead as the process progresses to the tensile stress in the compressive stress was varied. It was shown that the change of stress was quantitative from the bead at a certain distance.

The residual stress is inevitably introduced into composites because of the mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion, and it is different in each phase. The X-ray technique can detect separately the stress in each phase, so will wield useful information for analyzing the toughening mechanisms of composites. In order to apply the law of mixture to alloy steels with composite microstructures, two phase stainless steel, consisted of ferrite (.alpha.-Fe) and austenite (.gamma.-Fe) structures, was selected. The tensile elastic deformation was loaded, and then the X-ray diffraction technique was used to measure the X-ray elastic constants, the X-ray stress constants and the phase stresses. The law of mixture was investigated and the separation of macrostress and microstress was carried out. The phase stresses (the residual stresses of phase) in each phase, which were measured by X-ray technique, was directly proportional to the applied stress. The macrostress calculated from the phase stresses by using the law of mixture was nearly equal to the applied stress.

Application of friction welding is increasing in the manufacturing process of machine elements in many industry fields. To establish a reasonable strength evaluation method and fracture criterion, it is necessary to analyze stress singularity under the residual stress condition on friction welded interface between dissimilar materials. In this paper, a method to establish fracture criterion on interface of friction welded dissimiliar materials was investigated by using the boundary element method BEM and static tensile testing. A quantitative fracture criterion for friction welded dissimilar materials is suggested by using stress singularity factor, $\Gamma$.
