Welding residual stresses that occur in these joints after the welding process can affect their structural behavior. Some recent experimental studies have shown that this effect can be considerable. This study numerically evaluates the influence of welding residual stresses on the behavior of rectangular hollow section T joints. The paper consists of two parts. Part I develops and validates a finite element model for the joints directly taking into account welding residual stresses by means of an upstream thermomechanical simulation of the welding process. It is proven that particular attention needs to be paid to the discretization of the model, the material properties and the adequate description of the weld heat input. The validation with experimental results shows that the developed numerical model properly captures the local structural behavior of tubular joints and can be efficiently used for further investigations. Part II employs the constructed model to investigate the effect of welding residual stresses on the resistance and initial stiffness of the considered joints.}, language = {en} } @misc{GarifullinLaunertHeinisuoetal., author = {Garifullin, Marsel and Launert, Benjamin and Heinisuo, Markku and Pasternak, Hartmut and Mela, Kristo and Pajunen, Sami}, title = {Effect of welding residual stresses on local behavior of rectangular hollow section joints.

To ensure that these stresses do not negatively act on the load-bearing capacity of joints, their influence should be carefully investigated. This paper represents the second part of a study that numerically evaluates the structural behavior of rectangular hollow section T joints taking into account welding residual stresses. The finite element model developed in Part 1 is now used to evaluate their effect on the resistance and initial stiffness of tubular joints. The conducted parametric analyses show that welding residual stresses have a positive influence of 1-19 \% on the plastic resistance of tubular joints and insignificantly reduce their initial stiffness. At the same time, the behavior of the considered joints is found not to depend on the welding sequence.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GarifullinLaunertHeinisuoetal., author = {Garifullin, Marsel and Launert, Benjamin and Heinisuo, Markku and Pasternak, Hartmut and Mela, Kristo and Pajunen, Sami}, title = {Effect of Welding Residual Stresses on Behavior of Tubular T Joints}, series = {17th International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering}, booktitle = {17th International Conference on Computing in Civil and Building Engineering}, pages = {8}, abstract = {Welded tubular joints are widely used in structural engineering due to their excellent resistance and stiffness, as well as simple connection. However, the welding process induces residual stresses in the welding area that can affect the structural behavior of joints. Currently very few papers investigate welding residual stresses in relation to tubular joints. This paper develops a finite element model of rectangular hollow section T joints considering welding residual stresses. Attention is paid particularly to welding sequences. The developed model is used to evaluate the effect of welding residual stresses on the resistance and initial stiffness of tubular joints. The results show that welding residual stresses increase the plastic resistance of rectangular hollow section joints under in-plane bending and axial brace loading.}, language = {en} }
