By simulating the welding process, potential non-conformities can be detected before serial production is launched, which can significantly reduce operation costs. There are many different possibilities for modeling the process, therefore it is very important to choose a method that will ensure high accuracy of the solution in a relatively short time. The article will present the influence of various methods of modeling the welding process in the CAE environment on the obtained deformation results. For the given geometry and type of weld, the thermal deformations have been simulated based on the Finite Element Method. Several analyzes were carried out using different process modeling approaches (mesh type). Finally, a comparison of the results for the discussed cases is presented to determine the influence of the parameters used on the deformation results obtained.

Analytical models are developed for calculating temperatures, stresses and distortions resulting from the welding process. The models are implemented in finite element formulations and applied to a longitudinal butt weld. Nonuniform temperature transients are shown to result in the characteristic transverse bending distortions. Residual stresses are greatest in the weld metal and heat-affected zones, while the accumulated plastic strain is maximum at the interface of these two zones on the underside of the weldment.

In the paper, the influence of friction on temperature distribution in the friction spot stir welding process of titanium grade 2 is analysed. It is assumed that the friction coefficient may be a function of temperature or the relative speed of the contact areas. The finite element method is used in the numerical calculations. Temperature distributions and temperature versus time for the analysed friction coefficients are presented. The results also show that applying a proper frictional model is very essential for the sake of heat generation during friction stir welding.

A numerical study of gas herringbone grooved journal bearings is presented for small number of grooves. The compressible Reynolds equation is solved by use of the Finite Element Method. The nonlinearity of the discretized equations is treated with the Newton-Raphson procedure. A comparison of the results for a smooth bearing with previously published results is made and the domain of validity of the Narrow Groove Theory is analyzed. Load capacity, attitude angle, and stiffness coefficients are given for various configurations: groove angle and thickness of grooves, bearing number, and that for both smooth and grooved member rotating.

Flange is the key part of the large vacuum container and its stiffness property affects the sealing effect and the stability of the container. Large flange welding process will have a greater impact on its structural strength. In view of the traditional way of forming large vacuum container flange has problems that processing and manufacturing are difficult, more material consumption, and poor stiffness, a new type of flange structure was support. The new design has hollow structure and the welding process of cover flange was simulated through the finite element method. After that, the stress and the deformation were analyzed and then the proper welding scheme was optimized.

The aim of the work. The static analysis and comparison of the results for translational shells under equally distributed load of dead weight are provided. The shells of the similar general dimensions in plan and rise of four different types: translation of catenary along catenary, circle along circle, ellipse along ellipse and sinusoid along sinusoid are investigated. Methods. The finite element method was applied for the analysis. The research was conducted for the shells of material of reinforced concrete characteristics. Results. The comparison has shown that shells of catenary and circle translation surface demonstrate the most advantageous behavior under loading; the worst results for reinforced concrete were got for ellipse along ellipse translation shell. The peculiarities of each type behavior were revealed, that is of interest for their prospective reduction to practice of structural design.

The paper deals with the simulation technique of Al-Mg-Si alloy weld joints. Complexity of welding is due to the fact that a massive piece is jointed to stamped blanks-package. The main phases of the welding process modeling in a program complex based on the finite element method are considered. The efficiency of use of the computer simulation method for developing the welding technology and determining the method of fixing the parts is shown. Keywords: TIG welding, welding simulations, heat transfer, Sysweld program, the finite element method (FEM).
