In this paper, a new measuring method of three-dimensional residual stresses induced in a butt welded joint is presented. The proposed method is based on a general approach developed by the authors, in which inherent strains (the source of residual stresses) are dealt with as parameters. In the present report, three-dimensional residual stresses in a long body, in which the residual stress distribution is uniform in longitudinal direction, is considered as a special case. It is shown that the measurement of the three-dimensional residual stress, in this case, can be reduced to a combination of two sets of measurements of two-dimensional residual stresses. This method is applied to determine the residual stresses in an actual welded joint and its reliability and practicability are also demonstrated.

During manufacturing the welded joint of steel structures, residual stress is produced and weld metal is used inevitably. And residual stress and weld metal influence on the static and dynamic mechanical behavior of steel structures. Therefore, to predict the mechanical behavior of steel pile with a welded joint during static and dynamic deformation, the research on the influence of the welded joints on the static and dynamic behavior of steel pile is clarified. In this paper, the residual stress distribution in a welded joint of steel piles was investigated by using three-dimensional welding analysis. The static and dynamic mechanical behavior of steel piles with a welded joint is investigated by three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element analysis using a proposed dynamic hysteresis model. Numerical analyses of the steel pile with a welded joint were compared to that without a welded joint with respect to load carrying capacity and residual stress distribution. The influence of the welded joint on the mechanical behavior of steel piles during static and dynamic deformation was clarified by comparing analytical results

Stainless Steel Pipe

Two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) weld-induced residual stress finite element analyses have been performed for 2-inch Schedule 80 Type-304 stainless steel pipe sections joined by a multi-layer segmented-bead pipe weld. The analyses investigate the similarities and differences between the two modeling approaches in terms of residual stresses and axial shrinkage induced by the pipe weld. The 2D analyses are of axisymmetric behavior and evaluate two different pipe end constraints, namely fixed-fixed and fixed-free, while the 3D analysis approximates the non-axisymmetric segmented welding expected in production, with fixed-free pipe end constraints. Based on the results presented, the following conclusions can be drawn. The welding temperature contour results between the 2D and 3D analyses are very similar. Only the 3D analysis is capable of simulating the non-axisymmetric behavior of the segmented welding technique. The 2D analyses yield similar hoop residual stresses to the 3D analysis, and closely capture the maximum and minimum ID surface hoop residual stresses from the 3D analysis. The primary difference in ID surface residual stresses between the 2D fixed-fixed and 2D fixed-free constraints cases is the higher tensile axial stresses in the pipe outside of the weld region. The 2D analyses under-predict the maximum axial residual stress compared to the 3D analysis. The 2D ID surface residual stress results tend to bound the averaged 3D results. 2D axisymmetric modeling tends to significantly under-predict weld shrinkage. Axial weld shrinkage from 3D modeling is of the same magnitude as values measured in the laboratory on a prototypic mockup.

Simple Method

A simple method for measuring residual stresses in a plate is described. In this method residual stresses are evaluated using a fracture mechanics approach, that is, the strains or displacements measured at a point on the edge of a plate as a crack is introduced and extended from the edge are used to deduce the state of stresses that existed in the uncracked plate. Through finite element analyses and experiments this method is shown to be valid and effective for measuring the two-dimensional residual stress distribution of a welded plate.

Inherent Strain

The stress that exists in a body under no external force is called the inherent stress. The strain that is the cause (source) of this stress is called the inherent strain. This study proposes a general theory of an inherent-strain-based measurement method for the residual stress distributions in arbitrary three-dimensional bodies and applies the method to measure the welding residual stress distribution of a welded joint in a reactor vessel. The inherent-strain-based method is based on the inherent strain and the finite element method. It uses part of the released strains and solves an inverse problem by a least squares method. Thus, the method gives the most probable value and deviation of the residual stress. First, the basic theory is explained in detail, and then a concrete measurement method for a welded joint in a reactor vessel is developed. In the method, the inherent strains are unknowns. In this study, the inherent strain distribution was expressed with an appropriate function, significantly decreasing the number of unknowns. Five types of inherent strain distribution functions were applied to estimate the residual stress distribution of the joint. The applicability of each function was evaluated. The accuracy and reliability of the analyzed results were assessed in terms of the residuals, the unbiased estimate of the error variance, and the welding mechanics. The most suitable function, which yields the most reliable result, was identified. The most reliable residual stress distributions of the joint are shown, indicating the characteristics of distributions with especially large tensile stress that may produce a crack.

To clarify the effects of deep rolling parameters on residual stress, two-dimensional and three-dimensional finite element models were developed using the Chaboche hardening model. Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional simulation results were compared with experimental results. The three-dimensional model is more accurate, especially the 90° cut-out model. The maximum errors in the longitudinal and circumferential directions of 90° cut-out are 8.9% and 15.6%, respectively. Compared to 20 MPa, a rolling pressure of 38 MPa results in larger and deeper compressive residual stress in both directions, but lower surface residual stress in the circumferential direction. Compared to 30% overlap, 60% overlap produces larger compressive residual stress in the near surface region in the longitudinal direction and deeper residual stress with lower maximum compressive residual stress in the circumferential direction. The friction coefficient only slightly affects residual stress in the circumferential direction; increasing the rolling speed induces higher near surface residual stress in the circumferential direction. Compared to the HG6 tool, the HG8 tool generates decreasing surface residual stresses and deeper residual stress in both directions. Compared to one pass, two passes significantly increase the residual stress in circumferential direction, but only slightly increase the residual stress in the longitudinal direction.

Fea Model

Mechanical dents often occur in transmission pipelines, and are recognized as one of major threats to pipeline integrity because of the potential fatigue failure due to cyclic pressures. With matured in-line-inspection (ILI) technology, mechanical dents can be identified from the ILI runs. Based on ILI measured dent profiles, finite element analysis (FEA) is commonly used to simulate stresses and strains in a dent, and to predict fatigue life of the dented pipeline. However, the dent profile defined by ILI data is a purely geometric shape without residual stresses nor plastic deformation history, and is different from its actual dent that contains residual stresses/strains due to dent creation and re-rounding. As a result, the FEA results of an ILI dent may not represent those of the actual dent, and may lead to inaccurate or incorrect results. To investigate the effect of residual stress or plastic deformation history on mechanics responses and fatigue life of an actual dent, three dent models are considered in this paper: (a) a true dent with residual stresses and dent formation history, (b) a purely geometric dent having the true dent profile with all stress/strain history removed from it, and (c) a purely geometric dent having an ILI defined dent profile with all stress/strain history removed from it. Using a three-dimensional FEA model, those three dents are simulated in the elastic-plastic conditions. The FEA results showed that the two geometric dents determine significantly different stresses and strains in comparison to those in the true dent, and overpredict the fatigue life or burst pressure of the true dent. On this basis, suggestions are made on how to use the ILI data to predict the dent fatigue life.

Proposed Model

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a simple analytical model for predicting the through-thickness distribution of residual stresses in a cold spray (CS) deposit-substrate assembly.Design/methodology/approachLayer-by-layer build-up of residual stresses induced by both the peening dominant and thermal mismatch dominant CS processes, taking into account the force and moment equilibrium requirements. The proposed model has been validated with the neutron diffraction measurements, taken from the published literature for different combinations of deposit-substrate assemblies comprising Cu, Mg, Ti, Al and Al alloys.FindingsThrough a parametric study, the influence of geometrical variables (number of layers, substrate height and individual layer height) on the through-thickness residual stress distribution and magnitude are elucidated. Both the number of deposited layers and substrate height affect residual stress magnitude, whereas the individual layer height has little effect. A good agreement has been achieved between the experimentally measured stress distributions and predictions by the proposed model.Originality/valueThe proposed model provides a more thorough explanation of residual stress development mechanisms by the CS process along with mathematical representation. Comparing to existing analytical and finite element methods, it provides a quicker estimation of the residual stress distribution and magnitude. This paper provides comparisons and contrast of the two different residual stress mechanisms: the peening dominant and the thermal mismatch dominant. The proposed model allows parametric studies of geometric variables, and can potentially contribute to CS process optimisation aiming at residual stress control.

The residual stress distribution for a circumferential weld between cylinders was obtained in a prior publication for a full penetration, single pass weld with no variation of alloy content across the weld. In the present work the approach is extended to cover a wider variety of weld conditions. It is shown that the effects of multipass welds, partial penetration welds, and welds with filler metal differing greatly in properties from the base metal can approximately be taken into account. Experimental results are presented to support the proposed method of analysis.
