This study investigates the effectiveness of the hole-drilling strain gage method on residual stress estimation. The thermal elastic-plastic model of the commercial Marc finite element method package is used to simulate and build up the hole-drilling process and residual stress distribution. Two Inconel 690 alloy plate welded with GTAW filler I-52 solder are first simulated using the Marc software. The traditional hole-drilling process is then simulated. The simulated residual strain variation data is incorporated into the hole-drilling strain-gage method to derive the possible residual stress components. The effects of drilling depth and drill size on the accuracy of residual stress estimates are also discussed. A comparison of stress components estimated from the traditional hole-drilling strain gage method and simulated from the Marc software is presented. The modified dimensionless parameters are provided by applying the optimum technique. The numerical results indicate that the proposed dimensionless parameters can significantly improve the accuracy of estimated residual stress components.

In this study, the accuracy of blind-hole method on weld residual stress estimation is investigated. A modified parameter group has also proposed to improve the accuracy. The thermal-elastic-plastic finite element model is employed to build up the residual stress distribution and the blind-hole process. The MSC Marc finite element software package is used to simulate the welding process and the welding residual stress and strain distributions around the weld of two inconel 690 alloy plates filled with I-52 GTAW filler. Then the process of the traditional blind hole is simulated by employing the inactive elements. The data of the residual strain variations of strain gages located around the blind hole is introduced into the blind-hole method to estimate the original residual stress components at the hole center. The effects of drilling depth, drilling size, gage radius, gage position, and the distance on the accuracy of estimated residual stress have also been studied and discussed. Based on the residual stress components simulated from the welding process, a modified stress parameter group has also been proposed to improve the accuracy of blind-hole method. Numerical results indicate that the accuracy of estimated residual stress can be improved significantly by employing the proposed blind-hole parameters.


The non-uniform thermal expansion and contraction resulting from welding processes cause residual stresses and strains. Experimental studies on measuring welding residual stresses and strains of structure are costly and sometimes they are not possible. Previously, analytical methods with idealized models were developed to determine the welding residual stresses and strain. Recently, numerical methods are constructed to analyze the stresses and the strains in welded structures. This paper presents the calculation results of residual stress and welding strain in butt welded joint of S355J2G3 carbon steel of 5 mm thickness made by MAG welding process with a single pass. The calculation is performed by two methods: the imaginary force method and the finite element method. In the finite element method, the SYSWELD software is used to simulate and to determine residual stresses and strain of this welded joint. The results of finite element method are compared with those of imaginary force method to show the rationality and the advantages of finite element method. The study results have shown that in this welded joint, only the longitudinal and transverse stress components are important and the other stress components are negligible.

This paper presents an original model developed by finite element method to simulate the behavior of the material to the method “Blind Hole Drilling”, to determine the residual stress. Modeling of this method is possible through the use of the “Birth and Death” which have some elements of ANSYS library. After obtaining the analysis of movements, appropriate loads, a node located from the center hole at a radius calculated. In this way it is easier to estimate the stresses and deformations of a piece. Several measurements are made and based on this model is given in ANSYS. In this way we can have a map of tensions and deformations in a material

Predicting the behavior of steel during deformation process under service conditions is one of the main challenges in cold drawing. In this paper, finite element method was used to analyze the distribution of residual stress components in a rod with respect to different area reductions in cold drawing process. Cold drawing brought sunken-in deformation at the bottom land of the rod that was in accord with the result obtained from the analysis using ABAQUS. The results obtained from finite element analysis were in close agreement with the determined high-accuracy measurements.

In order to fully understanding the distribution of residual stress after riveting and the relationship between residual stress and riveting process parameters during riveting, Finite Element Method was used to establish a riveting model. Quasi-static method to solve the convergence difficulties was adopted in riveting process. The riveting process was divided into six stages according to the stress versus time curves. The relationship of residual stress with rivet length and rivet hole clearance were established. The results show numerical simulation is effective for riveting process and can make a construction for the practical riveting.
