Influence of thermo-mechanical material properties on the structural response of a welded butt-joint by FEM simulation and experimental tests

This paper deals with the development of a Finite Element (FE) model for the simulation of a two-passes V-groove butt weld joint. Specifically, in order to reduce the computational costs and the efforts aimed to the numerical evaluation of residual stresses distribution in welded joints, a sensitivi...
