Equations are given for the determination of transient and residual stresses in plates subject to transient temperature distributions, based on the assumption of a viscoelastic, perfectly plastic material obeying a von Mises temperature-dependent yield condition. A numerical procedure for integrating the equations is developed and applied to the case of a symmetrically cooled plate. It is found that, for steel, viscoelasticity has little effect on the residual stress distribution, but the temperature dependence of yield stress is important. The types of residual stress distribution after cooling are similar to those for an elastic-plastic material with constant yield stress, and for this case the residual stress is given approximately by formulas developed earlier for a slowly varying heat input.

Equations are given for the stress rates in solid cylinders subject to transient temperature distributions, based on the assumption of an elastic, perfectly plastic material obeying a von Mises temperature-dependent yield condition. A numerical procedure for integrating the equations is developed and applied to a temperature distribution approximating a phase transformation and to a quenched cylinder. The effect of various factors on the residual stresses is noted.

A thin circular disc of elastic-perfectly plastic material, subjected to an axially symmetric transient temperature distribution, is treated analytically. All material parameters are assumed to be independent of the temperature. Poisson's ratio is taken to be one-half. The Tresca yield condition with associated flow rule is employed. The temperature distribution is that which appears when the outer rim surface of the disc receives a rapid temperature increase and it is solved approximately by the collocation method. The analysis shows that under certain circumstances, plastic deformation will occur in a moving annular region. This region starts to develop at the exterior surface and moves inward, while changing its width. After a certain finite time its width shrinks to zero. Except for a residual constant state of strain, the strain field is then again elastic. An application to the method of separating the ring and the shaft in a shrink-fit is carried out numerically. The residual stresses in the ring are calculated.

An incremental and thermal-electro-mechanical coupled finite element model has been presented in this study for predicting residual stress distribution in a spot welded steel joint. Approximate temperature dependent material properties, including physical and mechanical properties, have been considered. The spot nugget shape and the residual stress distribution were obtained by simulation. The results obtained have been compared with experimental measurements, and good agreement is observed. The highest tensile residual stress occurs at the center of the nugget and the residual stress decreases towards the edge of the nugget.

Abstract One of the important factors to be considered in design is the residual stress distribution in the component. The positive or negative effect of these stresses plays an important role in the life of components. The unexpected failure of the components latter determined to be attributed to the residual stress distribution is not uncommon. Often in the design of nuclear reactor coolant system and components, the level of residual and transient thermal stress distribution is an important factor to be considered. Obviously the level of these stresses depend on the fact that if the material is sensitive (material with temperature dependent properties or insensitive. In this paper an infinite hollow cylinder is considered as an example. A theoretical study, which predict the thermoelastoplastic and residual stress distribution is presented. A quasi static and uncoupled thermoelastoplastic analysis based on incremental theory of plasticity is developed and a numerical procedure for successive approximation is presented. The problem is solved for both case of sensitive and insensitive material. The level of residual and thermoelastoplastic stress for both cases are compared and discussed in detail.

Abstract General equations for the computation of stress rates in solid and hollow cylinders subjected to transient temperature distributions are developed, based on the assumptions of an elastic, perfectly plastic material obeying the Tresca yield condition with Poisson ratio of one half. For most temperature distributions, it appears that these equations can be integrated only by numerical means. However, for one particular temperature distribution, equivalent to a phase transformation which occurs at a fixed temperature, it is found possible to integrate them analytically, and expressions for the transient and residual stresses are obtained in closed form. The latter results are compared with experiment and qualitative agreement noted.

The 2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V steels are widely used in the petroleum chemical industry for the manufacturing of pressure vessels. The multi-pass welding is a critical type of fabrication in hydrogenation reactor. However, very complicated residual stresses could be generated during the multi-pass welding process. The presence of residual stresses could have significant influence on the performance of welded product. In the present work, the transient temperature distribution and residual stress distribution in welding of 2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V steel are analyzed by using numerical method. An uncoupled thermal-mechanical two-dimensional (2-D) FEM is proposed under the ABAQUS environment. The transient temperature distribution and the residual stress distribution during the welding processes are determined through the finite element method. A group of experiments by using the blind-hole method have been conducted to validate the numerical results. The results of 2-D model agree well with the experiment. The result shows that the maximum welding stress generated at heat affected zone (HAZ) both at the top and bottom surface whether to transverse stress or longitudinal stress.

The residual stress and deformation due to the welding process have significant influences on the service performance of the welded deepwater platform hull. An exact prediction of transient temperature distribution is the important prerequisite to ensure the simulation accuracy of the welding residual stress and deformation fields, especially in the multi-pass welding process. Although the transient temperature distribution and residual stress distribution was studied in the past by various authors, the literature on 3D finite element (FE) simulation of multi-pass welding process is limited. In this paper, a FE model is developed to analyze the transient temperature and residual stress distribution of AH36 steel sheets in multi-pass welding process. A moving heat source model based on Goldak’s double-ellipsoidal heat flux distribution is employed for the heated plates. The addition of the volumetric heat source into the FE model and its movement along the welding pass are realized through a dedicated FORTRAN subroutine. The element birth and death technique in Abaqus/Standard is employed to simulate the weld filler variation with time in welded joints. The transient temperature calculated in the first stage is utilized as the input to the residual stress and distortion due to thermal shrinkage during the welding process and subsequent cooling. The results show good agreements between the temperature distribution and the geometry of weld pool obtained in the present work and those previously reported. Finally, a parametric study is performed to investigate the effect of welding variables, such as geometric parameters of Goldak’s heat source model, welding speed, pre-heat temperature and power input in the multi-pass welds, on the residual stress and distortion of the steel sheets.
