the effect of welding residual stresses that was created in thin infill plate of steel plate shear wall system during constructional processes was studied in this research. residual stresses in a welded structure is the result of the non-uniform expansion and contraction and plastic deformation of the weld and surrounding base metal due to heating and cooling cycle, during welding process, this...

Residual stress arisen in fabrication process of Double-Ceramic-Layer Thermal Barrier Coating System (DCL-TBCs) has a significant effect on its quality and reliability. In this work, based on the practical fabrication process of DCL-TBCs and the force and moment equilibrium, a theoretical model was proposed at first to predict residual stress generation in its fabrication process, in which the ...

Cold curving is today the cheapest and more common way to produce curved steel members by bending or curving of straight members. This is a repetitive process during which the straight member passes several times through a machine with bending rolls imposing progressively the desire curvature (see for example the curving machine of figure 1). The non-reversible deformations introduced by the pr...

In this study, residual stresses from the electron beam additive manufacturing (EBAM) and selective laser melting (SLM) processes, due to repeated thermal cycles, were investigated. Residual stresses play a crucial role in part performance, and thus, it is critical to evaluate the process-induced residual stresses in AM parts. Ti-6Al-4V and Inconel 718 parts produced by EBAM and SLM, respective...

In Arc welding heat is transferred to the joint by an electrode. During manual metal Arc Welding this heat is transferred by melting the electrode. The stresses generated in welded plate are due to temperature raise and can be simple and thermal stresses. The stresses generated will cause distortion and changing the shape of the welded plates. The study of the distortion and residual stresses i...

Platelet reinforcement can increase the fracture toughness of ceramics. However, the responsible mechanisms are still not clearly understood. In this paper we examine the role of residual stresses due to thermal expansion mismatch. The residual stress distribution can be calculated using the effective-field approximation for ellipsoidal inclusions. The three main toughening mechanisms (crack de...
