Abstract:Purpose
The purpose of this study is to develop an elasto-plastic multi-material shell model by which finite element analysis of laser welded joints is carried out at the interface of the heat-affected zone and base material.
Design/methodology/approach
The multi-material shell model is implemented on the simple cantilever and double cantilever welded plates to examine the efficiency of the developed model.
Findings
By reducing the computational time approximately 20 times with the developed model, the res… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
