An investigation into the prediction of thermal and stress distributions set up during welding using finite-element analysis
During the welding process, thermal and stress distributions are set up in the workpiece. These thermal stresses are recognized as among the most important factors affecting the weldability of steels, producing distortion and cracking in weldments. This thesis examines the history and theory of the...
