Welding Distortion Prediction in 5A06 Aluminum Alloy Complex Structure via Inherent Strain Method

Finite element (FE) simulation with inherent deformation is an ideal and practical computational approach for predicting welding stress and distortion in the production of complex aluminum alloy structures. In this study, based on the thermal elasto-plastic analysis, FE models of multi-pass butt wel...
