Abstract: An efficient and reliable numerical analysis for threedimensional (3D) multipass welding simulation is proposed in this paper. A fast analysis method to calculate 3D residual stress distribution in the multipass welds using ...

Abstract: Primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) phenomenon in dissimilar metal welds is one of the safety issues in ageing pressurized water reactor (PWR) piping systems. It is well known that analysis accuracy of cracking ...
