Welding at high humidity is frequently needed for the harbor hoisting machinery of steel structures in the coastal port city. A computational procedure is proposed for analyzing residual stress and temperature distributions induced by the T-joint welding in two types of St52-3 high strength low alloy steel plates both 6 mm in thickness. The relative humidity conditions varied from 75 to 90% at constant pressure. The finite element models are employed to evaluate the transient temperature and the residual stress during welding. According to the analysis results, the higher residual stress and the highest concentration of hydrogen are distributed in and surround the heat affected zone (HAZ), and vary with different humidity.

Elastic-plastic finite element (FE) analysis is performed to determine the plastic behavior of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) inner surface caused by rapid cooling during pressurized thermal shock (PTS) events. However, as the J-integral is not path-independent for elastic-plastic material in the unloading process, it is necessary to apply a suitable correction method using elastic material. In addition, it is also necessary to consider the effect of the welding residual stress appropriately. Therefore, we investigated the stress intensity factor derived from FE analysis based on a model consisting of elastic-plastic cladding and linear elastic low-alloy steel with subsequent plastic zone correction, since the stress level of low-alloy steel remains within the elastic region except the crack front during a PTS event. Furthermore, we examined whether the stress mapping method is applicable for reflecting the effect of welding residual stress in FE analysis, even though the plastic strain generated during welding is ignored.
