Abstract: In this study, an analytical formulation of a weld throat stress model is presented for defining limit state condition of fillet-welded connections incorporating plate-to-plate contact conditions. The validity of the ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional weld pool model has been developed to study the fluid flow and heat transfer process during gas metal arc (GMA) welding. Both droplet heat content and impact force were ...

Abstract: In support of the ASME Div 2 Rewrite, a master S-N curve approach has been developed using a mesh-insensitive structural stress procedure for fatigue evaluation of welded components. The ...
