Modeling of Weld Residual Stresses and Distortion: Computational Procedures and Applications highlights recent developments in advanced weld modeling procedures. First, the multi-faceted process physics and mechanics associated with welding are briefly outlined: 1) the effects of fluid flow and heat transport in weld pool, high-temperature material behavior, residual stresses and distortions; 2) an engineering perspective for todays industrial applications for residual stress and distortion predictions; 3) a unified weld constitutive model for finite element simulation of welding processes; 4) residual stress effects on structural integrity; 5) outline of future challenges in modeling weld residual stresses and distortions.
