As a fabrication technology, welding presents a number of technical challenges to the designer, manufacturer, and end-user of the welded structures. Both weld residual stress and distortion can significantly impair the performance and reliability of the welded structures. They must be properly dealt with during design, fabrication, and in-service use of the welded structures. There have been many significant and exciting developments on the subject in the past ten to fifteen years. Measurement techniques have been improved significantly. More importantly, the development of computational welding mechanics methods has been phenomenal. The progresses in the last decade or so have not only greatly expanded our fundamental understanding of the processes and mechanisms of residual stress and distortion during welding, but also have provided powerful tools to quantitatively determine the detailed residual stress and distortion information for a given welded structure. New techniques for effective residual stress and distortion mitigations and controls have also been applied in different industry sectors. Processes and Mechanisms of Welding Residual Stress and Distortion provides a comprehensive summary on the developments in the subject. It outlines theoretical treatments on heat transfer, solid mechanics and materials behavior that are essential for understanding and determining the welding residual stress and distortion. The approaches for computational methods and analysis methodology are described so that non specialists can follow them. There are chapters devoted to the discussion of various techniques for control and mitigation of residual stress and distortion, and residual stress and distortion results for various typical welded structures are provided. The second half of the book looks at case studies and practical solutions and provides insights into the techniques, challenges, limitations and future trends of each application. This book will not only be useful for advanced analysis of the subject, but also provide sufficient examples and practical solutions for welding engineers. With a panel of leading experts this authoritative book will be a valuable resource for welding engineers and designers as well as academics working in the fields of structural and mechanical engineering.
Generally, welding produces welding deformation and residual stress in the products, which influences the quality and performance of the products. Although many engineers and researchers have made great effort how to control these incidents, they have still remained unresolved. Welding Deformation and Residual Stress Prevention provides a unique computational approach to the prediction of the effects of deformation and residual stress on materials. The goal is to provide engineers and designers with the ability to create their own computational system for predicting and possibly avoiding the problem altogether. The basic theories including "theory of elastic-plastic analysis" and "inherent strain theory" , and analysis procedures are described using a simple three-bar model Online simulation software to perform basic analysis on welding mechanics Examples of strategic methods and procedures are illustrated to have solved various welding-related problems encountered in the process of construction Appendices present data bases for welding residual stresses, temperature dependent material properties, etc.
Almost all welding technology depends upon the use of concentrated energy sources to fuse or soften the material locally at the joint, before such energy can be diffused or dispersed elsewhere. Although comprehensive treatments of transient heat flow as a controlling influence have been developed progressively and published over the past forty years, the task of uniting the results compactly within a textbook has become increasingly formidable. With the comparative scarcity of such works, welding engineers have been denied the full use of powerful design analysis tools. During the past decade Dr Radaj has prepared to fulfil this need, working from a rich experience as pioneer researcher and teacher, co-operator with Professor Argyris at Stuttgart University in developing the finite element method for stress analysis of aircraft and power plant structures, and more recently as expert consultant on these and automotive structures at Daimler Benz. His book appeared in 1988 in the German language, and this updated English language edition will significantly increase the availability of the work.
The ability to quantify residual stresses induced by welding processes through experimentation or numerical simulation has become, today more than ever, of strategic importance in the context of their application to advanced design. This is an ongoing challenge that commenced many years ago. Recent design criteria endeavour to quantify the effect of residual stresses on fatigue strength of welded joints to allow a more efficient use of materials and a greater reliability of welded structures. The aim of the present book is contributing to these aspects of design through a collection of case-studies that illustrate both standard and advanced experimental and numerical methodologies used to assess the residual stress field in welded joints. The work is intended to be of assistance to designers, industrial engineers and academics who want to deepen their knowledge of this challenging topic.
&Quot;The quantification of the level of distortion that can be expected after welding has become crucial to meet the increasingly stringent accuracy requirements for the design of any type of fabricated component or structure. Many research workers have formulated weld distortion prediction models in order to reduce the extent of practical trials required to determine actual distortion. Because of the large number of prediction models available, some guidance is required on the selection of appropriate models for a particular welding application. For this reason, this review of published weld prediction formulae has been carried out within the Core Research Programme of TWI. Whilst reviews have been carried out in the past, this summary differs in that it covers four types of distortion - longitudinal shrinkage, bowing distortion, transverse shrinkage and angular distortion. It provides a critical assessment of each of the models; highlighting where background information exists, whether the model has been validated and possible limitations. Based on the information available for each of the models and on TWI's knowledge and experience, one or more models are recommended for each type of distortion."--BOOK JACKET.
Welding and Distortion Control illustrates various welding methods with particular focus on shipbuilding, namely Sheet Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) and Electro-slag along with single side and multi-electrode welding techniques. The chapter on welding distortion starts by explaining the distortion mechanism and subsequently introduces various types of distortions encountered and their prediction methods. Suitable distortion prediction tools have been explained to help welding engineers and structural designers to implement effective distortion control measures and to make production friendly designs for achieving the goal of near zero distortion in fabricated structures which will eliminate to a great extent the tedious post weld fairing work.
"This module focuses on how welding causes distortion and residual stress in fabricated assemblies. The causes of distortion are reviewed and the reader gains a better understanding of how welded assemblies react during the fabricating process. Preventative and corrective actions for controlling distortion and residual stresses in welded assemblies are also reviewed showing the various jigs, fixtures and methods for control during welding."--website.
Computational Welding Mechanics for Engineering Application: Buckling Distortion of Thin Plate and Residual Stress of Thick Plate deals with two special issues in the field of computational welding mechanics: buckling distortion of thin plate and residual stress of thick plate. Through experiment, theory, and computational analysis, the authors systematically introduce the latest progress and achievements of computational welding mechanics, such as weld buckling in lightweight fabrication and residual stress in HTSS thick plate welding. In addition, they also explore its application to address real-world engineering problems in advanced manufacturing, such as precision manufacturing and mechanical performance evaluation. The book will be of interest to scholars and engineers of computational welding mechanics who wish to represent the welding mechanics response, predict the distribution and magnitude of mechanical variables, or optimize the welding technique to improve the manufacturing quality.
