The finite element model of ABAQUS combined with FORTRAN subroutines was developed to predict the residual stress and deformation of T-joint welds under different preheat and inter-pass temperature. A calibrated and sequentially coupled thermal and mechanical 3D finite element (FE) model is developed, and Goldak’s double ellipsoidal heat source model is implemented into the numerical model. The welding induced imperfections, including the residual stress and distortion are discussed in this paper. The results show that vertical deformation depend significantly on the preheat temperature and inter-pass temperature. The influences of preheat and interpass temperature on the residual stress are not significant.

Finite element (FE) analysis of welding residual stress and deformation is one of the essential stages in the manufacturing process of mechanical structures and parts. It aids in reducing the production cost, minimizing errors, and optimizing the manufactured component. This paper presents a numerical prediction of residual stress and deformation induced by two-pass TIG welding of Al 2219 plates. The FE model was developed using ABAQUS and FORTRAN packages, Goldak’s heat source model was implemented by coding the nonuniform distributed flux (DFLUX) in user subroutine to represent the ellipsoidal moving weld torch, having front and rear power density distribution. Radiation and convection heat losses were taken into account. The mechanical boundary condition was applied to prevent the model from rotation and displacement in all directions while allowing material deformation. The FE model was experimentally validated and the compared results show good agreement with average variations of 18.8% and 17.4% in residual stresses and deformation, respectively.

A dynamic 3D thermal and mechanical Simulation of CO2 welding 409 stainless steel multi-Crossed parts was carried out by using the software SYSWELD. A double ellipsoid heat source model of CO2 arc welding was explored and fitted with the Heat Source Fitting tool. The transient stress and strain fields of 409 stainless steel multi-crossed weld joint under two kind of welding sequences were obtained by loading the simulated temperature field, which helps to decrease the residual stress and deformation of 409 stainless steel multi-Crossed parts welding.

The distributed properties of residual stress in bridge nodes have been investigated in the paper. Based on some bridge node, the three dimensional thermodynamics finite element model has been established, meanwhile, the double ellipsoidal distributed heat source model are used to simulate the whole welding procedure of bridge nodes according to the welding parameters. Thus, the distributed regularities of residual stress of bridge node have been obtained. Simulating results show that the residual stresses distribute uniformly in the welding direction, and the max value reaches the yield strength of steel Q345qD. Besides, the residual stress in the lateral direction reaches the max value in the place of welding district, and decreases rapidly when far away from the welds.

Recently, manufacturing process simulation using finite element (FE) model become important. Therefore, validation of the finite element model is crucial. This study will present validation of 2D finite element simulation of cold heading at room temperature. Validation of the simulation model is carried out by comparing the resulted bulge profile of the cold upsetting specimen to the profile of the specimen, which is obtained from an optical 3D surface measurement technique namely Infinite Focus Alicona system. Based on the result, both profiles show a very good agreement.

Local domain structures in Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) ferroelectric thin films have been investigated using linear finite element analysis to qualitatively assess the effect of crystal structure, domain wall orientation and mechanical constraints from electrodes on local polarization switching behavior. The finite element model was used to illustrate that the evolution of residual stress during polarization reorientation may play an important role in the backswitching behavior which has been observed experimentally in (111)-orientated PZT films. The domain size and orientation used in the finite element model utilizes domain sizes determined from piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) measurements given in the literature together with domain wall orientation from strain and charge compatibility in the (111) orientation. During polarization switching, domains with polarization components aligned anti-parallel to the applied field are expected to switch 90° to partially align with the applied field. 180° switching is not expected to occur in the (111) oriented film. The 90° switching induces residual stress that is computed using the finite element model. It is illustrated that thicker top electrodes increase the residual stress in the ferroelectric layer which may play an important role in polarization retention behavior in ferroelectric capacitors.

Abstract.The connection mode of reducer with straight tube on both sides are the welding connection. There are two weld at the both side of reducer and there has a great influence on residual stress and deformation in the process of welding . Based on the particularity of reducer welding, the paper is focus on the residual stress and deformation in the process of welding, using large-scale finite element analysis software ANSYS .The DN500X450 reducer model is established.The welding temperature field and residual stress field is analysis and calculation and analysis the influence on temperature and stress distribution of reducer. The results show that the maximum of the temperature and the residual stress is located in the big side and reduce the welding seam, and the obvious deformation also find in the big side and reduce joint . The reducing pipe’s distribution of temperature field and residual stress field are obtained,providing the basis to establish properly and optimize of welding process.

Tube hydroforming process is one of the metal forming processes which uses internal pressure and axial feeding simultaneously to form a tube into the die cavity shape. This process has some advantages such as weight reduction, more strength and better integration of produced parts. In this study, T-shape tube hydroforming was analyzed by experimental and finite element methods. In Experimental method the pulsating pressure technique without counterpunch was used; so that the internal pressure was increased up to a maximum, the axial feeding was then stopped. Consequently, the pressure decreased to a minimum. The sequence was repeated until the part formed to its final shape. The finite element model was also established to compare the experimental results with the FE model. It is shown that the pulsating pressure improves the process in terms of maximum protrusion height obtained. Counterpunch was eliminated as being unnecessary. The results of simulation including thickness distribution and protrusion height were compared to the part produced experimentally. The result of modeling is in good agreement with the experiment. The paper describes the methodology and gives the results of both experiment and modeling.
