Numerical Calculation of Stress Intensity Factors for Semi-Elliptical Surface Cracks in Buried-Arc Welded Thick Plates
The present study deals with the influence of residual stresses induced by the buried-arc welding on the crack behavior in two butt-welded 20 mm thick plates. The following steps were undertaken: the thermo-mechanical simulation of the welding process, the mapping of stress results from a finite ele...
