Welding Deformation and Residual Stress Prevention, Second Edition provides readers with both fundamental theoretical knowledge about welding deformation and st

Preface 1 Introduction to welding mechanics 2 Measurement and prediction of residual stresses by inherent strain method 3 Basic knowledge on simulation analysis

As a fabrication technology, welding presents a number of technical challenges to the designer, manufacturer, and end-user of the welded structures. Both weld r

Almost all welding technology depends upon the use of concentrated energy sources to fuse or soften the material locally at the joint, before such energy can be

The ability to quantify residual stresses induced by welding processes through experimentation or numerical simulation has become, today more than ever, of stra
