Determination of residual stresses and the positive or negative effect that they may have on the component is an important consideration in design. Unexpected failure of components, latter determined to be attributable to residual stress, is not uncommon. In this paper, a theoretical study of the stresses in a long hollow circular cylinder subjected to rapid cooling of the exterior surface is presented. A quasi-static uncoupled thermoelastoplastic analysis, based on incremental theory of plasticity, is developed and a numerical procedure for successive approximation is formulated. For this analysis, it is assumed that the material has temperature-dependent properties and is characterized by linear strain hardening. The thermoelastoplastic and residual stress distributions are discussed in detail. The results are compared with related published work where a reasonable agreement is observed.

Abstract One of the important factors to be considered in design is the residual stress distribution in the component. The positive or negative effect of these stresses plays an important role in the life of components. The unexpected failure of the components latter determined to be attributed to the residual stress distribution is not uncommon. Often in the design of nuclear reactor coolant system and components, the level of residual and transient thermal stress distribution is an important factor to be considered. Obviously the level of these stresses depend on the fact that if the material is sensitive (material with temperature dependent properties or insensitive. In this paper an infinite hollow cylinder is considered as an example. A theoretical study, which predict the thermoelastoplastic and residual stress distribution is presented. A quasi static and uncoupled thermoelastoplastic analysis based on incremental theory of plasticity is developed and a numerical procedure for successive approximation is presented. The problem is solved for both case of sensitive and insensitive material. The level of residual and thermoelastoplastic stress for both cases are compared and discussed in detail.

Tensile residual stresses, such as those generated by welding, act as crack opening stresses and can have a negative effect on the fatigue and fracture performance of a component. In this work the effect of representative residual stress distributions on the fracture behaviour of a ferritic steel has been examined using finite element analysis. A Gurson-type void growth model is used to model the effect of ductile tearing ahead of a crack. For the cases examined it is seen that a tensile residual stress field may lead to a reduction in the toughness of the material (as represented by the J-resistance curve). The observed difference in toughness can be linked to the different constraint levels in the specimens due to the introduction of the residual stress field and can be rationalised through the use of a two parameter, J–Q approach.

The variations of temperature profile and residual stress distribution in the single V butt welds were studied in this work. The thermal elastic-plastic model of ANSYS finite element analysis software is employed in this study to simulate the melting and solidification processes of two clamped nickel alloy 690 plates with different welding parameters; i.e. the welding speed and the number of weld passes. The temperature dependent material properties are used. The effects of these welding parameters on the residual stresses around the weld are investigated. Numerical results reveal that these welding parameters may affect the distribution of residual stresses significantly.

A 3D thermo-mechanical coupled model of hot leveling and cooling process of steel plate with nine rolls has been conducted with the aid of commercial non-linear FEM software. The effects of four hot leveling deformation rates on the transversal and longitudinal residual stresses of steel plate in the condition of same initial temperature distribution pattern has been analyzed. Different plastic deformation rates are obtained through the reduction change of No.2 leveler. The transversal and longitudinal residual stress distributions at different parts of steel plate are also studied. The results show that the transversal and longitudinal residual stresses increase with plastic deformation rates through hot leveling and cooling. The residual stress distribution patterns at various positions of the steel plate in the conditions of different plastic deformation rates can be confirmed quantitatively, which can provide guidance to practical determination of hot leveling plastic deformation rates.

In this paper, some of the important controlling parameters governing weld residual stress distributions are presented for girth welds in pipe and vessel components, based on a large number of residual stress solutions available to date. The focus is placed upon the understanding of some of the overall characteristics in through-wall residual stress distributions and their generalization for vessel and pipe girth welds. In doing so, a unified framework for prescribing residual stress distributions is outlined for fitness-for-service assessment of vessel and pipe girth welds. The effects of various joint geometry and welding procedure parameters on through thickness residual stress distributions are also demonstrated in the order of their relative importance.

In pressure vessel technology or nuclear power plants, some of the mechanical components are often subjected to rapid heating. If the temperature gradient during such process is high enough, thermoelastoplastic stresses may be developed in the components. These plastic deformations are permanent and may result in the incremental deformation of the structure in the long term. Accordingly, determination of thermoelastoplastic stresses during this process is an important factor in design. In this paper, a thick-walled cylinder of nonlinear strain hardening is considered for the thermoelastoplastic analysis. The properties of the material are assumed to be temperature dependent. The cylinder is subject to rapid heating of the inside surface while the outside surface is kept at the room temperature. A quasi-static and uncoupled thermoelastoplastic analysis based on incremental theory of plasticity is developed and a numerical procedure for successive elastic approximation is presented. The thermoelastoplastic stresses developed during this process are also presented. The effect of strain hardening and temperature dependency of material on the results are investigated.

This contribution deals with the complex temperature profiles that are generated by the welding process in the intersection region of thick walled, cylinder-cylinder junctions. These affect material microstructure, mechanical properties and residual stresses. Knowledge of the thermal history and temperature distributions are thus critical in developing control schemes for acceptable residual stress distributions to improve in-service component behavior. A comprehensive study of 3D temperature distributions in a stainless steel tee branch junction during a multipass welding process is presented. A newly developed partitioning technique has been used to mesh the complex intersection areas of the welded junction. Various phenomena associated with welding, such as temperature dependent material properties, heat loss by convection and latent heat have been taken into consideration. The temperature distribution at various times after deposition of certain passes and the thermal cycles at various locations are reported. The results obtained in this study will be used for on-going and future analysis of residual stress distributions. The meshing technique and modeling method can also be applied to other curved, multipass welds in complex structures.

The demand for lighter materials with suitable mechanical properties and a high resistance to corrosion has been increasing in the industries. Therefore, aluminum appears as an alternative due to its set of properties. The aim of this work was to evaluate residual stress levels and mechanical properties of welded joints of Aluminum-Magnesium alloy AA 5083-O using the Friction Stir Welding process. For mechanical characterization were performed a uniaxial tensile test, Vickers hardness, bending test and, finally, the determination of residual stresses. It was concluded that welding by FSW process with an angle of inclination of the tool at 3o, established better results due to better mixing of materials. The best results of tensile strength and a lower level of residual stresses were obtained using a tool rotation speed of 340 RPM with welding advance speed of 180 mm/min and 70 mm/min.

The basic principle of the X-ray diffraction analysis is based on the determination of components of residual stresses. They are determined on the basis of the change in the distance between atomic planes. The method is limited by a relatively small depth in which the X-ray beam penetrates into the analysed materials. For determination of residual stresses in the surface layer the X-ray diffraction and electrolytic polishing has to be combined. The article is deals with the determination of residual stress and real material structure of a laser-welded steel sample with an oxide surface layer. This surface layer is created during the rolling and it prevents the material from its corrosion. Before the X-ray diffraction analysis can be performed, this surface layer has to be removed. This surface layer cannot be removed with the help of electrolytic polishing and, therefore, it has to be removed mechanically. This mechanical procedure creates “technological” residual stress in the surface layer. This additional residual stress is removed by the electrolytic polishing in the depth between 20 and 80 μm. Finally, the real structure and residual stresses can be determined by using the X-ray diffraction techniques.
