Numerical Investigation of Residual Stress Formation Mechanisms in Flash-Butt Welded Rail
For the construction of long and continuous railway lines as well as the replacement of defected rails, rails are joined using flash-butt welding. Under various localized temperatures and thermo-mechanical stresses, a residual stress can develop in the flash-butt welded joint. The residual stress ca...
