The heat source model and the heat input model were built by analyzing welding process. The rationalities of model were verified by finite element simulation. The method of prestressed welding was employed in order to reduce welding residual stress. The welding residual stress would be widely impacted by imposed prestress of 90% yield strength welding. At the same time the propagation of welding heat cracking in the heat-affected zone was properly controlled by prestressed welding.

During numerical simulation of welding process, the temperature field simulation is fundamental for simulating other issues of welding process, and establishing the heat source model is the most basic work for temperature filed simulation. Based on the analysis and induction of arc welding heat source model used in T-joint welding simulation, points out the existing problems and future development direction of heat source model for T-joint, provides a reference for further research and practical application.

The article contributes, through numerical simulation based on models calibrated by experimental results, to better estimate residual stresses and distortions in welded structures representatives of ships and offshore platforms considering welding procedures relevant to shipyard current practices. A multi-pass welding is carried out to investigate the residual stresses in laboratory tests. The temperature at several positions on a plate sample is recorded with thermocouples and residual stresses are measured using an x-ray diffraction technique. Finite element (FE) models are developed in this study and experimentally validated. The three dimensional (3D) moving Goldak's double-ellipsoidal heat source model is employed in the simulations. A Levenberg-Marquardt neural network algorithm is employed to determine the geometric parameters of the heat source model. The technique based on neural network is applied to dimension the heat source later employed in the thermal analysis using 2D FE model to reduce the computer time of the numerical simulation and to make it feasible for shipbuilding industry applications. The numerical results of temperature and residual stress distribution are correlated with the experimental measurements. Finally, the effects of preheat and interpass temperatures on the residual stresses are investigated using numerical simulation. The effects of the transient releasing temperature on the residual stresses are also discussed.

In the work, an analysis of the influence of electrode inclination on the distribution of temperature in the weld overlaying has been conducted. In the analytical description of the temperature field, a volumetric heat source model with an inclined axis with respect to the direction of surfacing was adopted. In the numerical simulation, the own theoretical model of heat source, algorithm, and program performed in the Borland Delphi environment were used. In the calculation examples, different electrode inclination angles were adopted in relation to the welded plate, in the direction of surfacing, opposite to the direction of welding, and perpendicular to the weld bead.

Abstract Numerical simulation is widely used in all the fields of engineering to predict the results. In welding, various finite element tools are used to predict the bead profile, temperature distribution, joint strength, formability and metallurgical changes etc. With respect to the welding process suitable heat source model has to be assigned for numerical simulation. The most suitable heat source for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process is the Goldack double ellipsoidal model. This model has few parameters like the width of the weld (a), depth of penetration (b), front profile ellipse (Cf) and rear ellipse profile (Cr). In this research article, the influence of these parameters and their effect on the temperature distribution is focused. For this purpose, based on the full factorial design welding simulations are performed with COMSOL. Later, the grey relational technique was used to find the contribution of these parameters. It was concluded from the full factorial method that; temperature variation is depended on the GTAW welding heat source parameters. At 95% confidence level, the width of the weld showed a major role in controlling the temperature. Moreover, the optimum combination of process variables obtained end with minimum temperature rise at a width of 0.7 mm, depth of 5.7 mm and frontal factor of 4.
