Since stainless steel has significant characteristics such as its superior corrosion resistance, durability, aesthetic appeal etc., it has been utilized as structural members in buildings. Recently, ultimate behaviors and curling influence in austenitic stainless steel single shear bolted connections with thin-walled plane plates have been investigated by T.S. Kim. In this paper, finite element analysis (FEA) has been conducted based on the existing test results of angle bolted connections in fabricated with austenitic stainless steel. The validation of the numerical analysis prediction was verified through the comparison of test results for fracture mode, ultimate strength and curling occurrence. Curling (out-of- plane deformation) also observed in the connections with a long end distance. The curling caused the ultimate strength reduction and the ultimate strength reduction ratios (varied from 12% to 25%) caused by curling have been estimated quantitatively through the comparison of FEA results of FE models with free edge and restrained curling.

As a safety device, a rupture disc instantly bursts as a nonreclosing pressure relief component to minimize the explosion risk once the internal pressure of vessels or pipes exceeds a critical level. In this study, the influence of temperature on the ultimate burst pressure of domed rupture discs made of 316L austenitic stainless steel was experimentally investigated and assessed with finite element analysis. Experimental results showed that the ultimate burst pressure gradually reduced from 6.88 MPa to 5.24 MPa with increasing temperature from 300 K to 573 K, which are consistent with the predicted instability pressures acquired by nonlinear buckling analysis using ABAQUS software. Additionally, it was found that a gradual transition from opening ductile mode to cleavage mode happened with increasing temperature due to more cross slips occurring under serious plastic deformation. The equivalent stress, equivalent strain and strain hardening rates acquired by static analysis were effective at rationalizing the temperature-dependent fracture behavior of the domed rupture discs.

The present work deals with plastic deformation of 316L austenitic stainless steel (ASS) using room temperature rolling process. After solution treatment (annealing) as-received 316L ASS has been rolled for up to 90% of thickness reduction. To investigate the effect of processing on mechanical properties microstructural study, tensile and hardness tests have been conducted. The ultimate tensile strength has been improved from 767 MPa (before deformation) to 1420 MPa (after 90% deformation), and hardness value has been increased from 208 VHN (before deformation) to 449 VHN (after 90% reduction). Magnetic measurements and XRD characterization have been performed to confirm the formation of martensitic phase. Finite element analysis have also been simulated employing DEFORM-3D software to get the insight about deformation behavior. Keywords: Room temperature rolling, Finite Element Analysis, Mechanical properties, Austenitic stainless steel.

The current paper presents a finite element analysis of an eight-pass groove weld in a 316L austenitic stainless steel plate. A dedicated welding heat source modelling tool was employed to produce volumetric body power density data for each weld pass, thus simulating weld-induced thermal loads. Thermocouple measurements and cross-weld macrographs taken from a weld specimen were used for heat source calibration. A mechanical finite element analysis was then conducted, using the calibrated thermal loads and a Lemaitre-Chaboche mixed work-hardening model. The predicted post-weld residual stresses were validated using contour method measurements: good agreement between measured and simulated residual stress fields was observed. A sensitivity analysis was also conducted to identify the boundary conditions that best represent a tack-welded I-beam support, which was present on the specimen back-face during the welding.

A project has been conducted to verify a finite element analysis procedure for studying the nonlinear behavior of 90°, stainless steel, 4 inch schedule 10, butt welding elbows. Two displacement controlled monotonic in-plane tests were conducted, one closing and one opening, and the loads, displacements, and strains at several locations were recorded. Stacked 90° tee rosette gages were used in both tests because of their ability to measure strain over a small area. ANSYS shell element 181 was used in the FEA reconciliations. The FEA models incorporated detailed geometric measurements of the specimens, including the welds, and material stress-strain data obtained from the attached straight piping. Initially, a mesh consisting of sixteen elements arrayed in 8 rings was used to analyze the elbow. The load-displacement correlation was quite good using this mesh, but the strain reconciliation was not. Analysis of the FEA results indicated that the axial and hoop strain gradients across the mid-section of the elbow were very high. In order to generate better strain correlations, the elbow mesh was refined in the mid-section of the elbow to include 48 elements per ring and an additional six rings, effectively increasing the element density by nine times. Using the refined mesh produced much better correlations with the strain data.
