Feasibility study of shell element-based elastic FE approach for welding-induced thermal distortion prediction in HDPE welded structures
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is considered an eco-friendly material for boat construction worldwide. However, managing thermal distortion in HDPE welding is challenging, impacting productivity. Traditional steel shipbuilding has established methods to predict welding-induced thermal distortion,...
