FE Simulation Methods to Predict Welding Residual Stresses

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this review paper is to summarize the novel and advanced finite element simulation techniques devised in recent years to predict the welding residual stresses. The finite-element (FE) simulation methods are commonly used to predict the thermal, material, and mechanical effects of welding because of their efficiency and flexibility. This study presents an overview of the research, conducted to more accurately simulate the welding process. Some recommendations and simplification techniques presented by researchers are also discussed in this study which provides a foundation for further development in this field.
