Abstract:The dimensional differences in steel bridge manufacturing caused by weld deformation often occur for butt joints of thin plates. The problems of distortion, residual stresses and reduced strength of structure in and around a welded joint are of major concern in the shipbuilding industry and other similar manufacturing industries. The various distortions induced by welding process and restriction of these distortions may lead to higher residual stresses. The prediction of distortions in ship panels are of great… Show more
