Numerical Analysis of Welding Residual Stress Relaxation in High-Strength Multilayer Weldment Under Fatigue Loads

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract The primary purpose of this investigation was to study welding residual stress relaxation by repeated loading. A coupling finite element analysis model for prediction of the welding residual stress and the mechanical stress relaxation after external repeated loads was presented. The accuracy of this model was verified through experiments. Also, it is found that the residual stress of weldment is relaxed by external loads, and the greatest amount of relaxation was obtained by early repeated loads. As the repetition count increased, the amount of relaxation became smaller than the amount of relaxation in the early stage.
