Residual Stress Fields due to Varying Tack Welds Orientation in Circumferentially Welded Thin-Walled Cylinders

The local, nonuniform heating and subsequent cooling during the welding processes causes complex thermal stress/strain fields to develop that finally leads to residual stresses, distortions, and their adverse consequences. Residual stresses are of prime concern to the industries producing weld-integ...
