This randomness results in uncertain response of the structure in the sequentially coupled thermal-mechanical analysis by welding simulation. Because of the limitations of deterministic welding simulation, the stochastic finite element method with random field will be introduced into the welding simulation, so that the welded structure can be more accurately calculated in the stability and reliability structural analysis. Particularly, it is necessary to propose reasonable distributions of residual stress from welding simulations based on statistical and reliability theories. This paper is intended to implement the stochastic finite element method in the welding simulation using a general-purpose simulation program and to demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach. Furthermore, the statistical distribution function of the welding simulation response is obtained by maximum entropy fitting method. Then, a numerical example is presented by the proposed method.}, language = {en} } @misc{LaunertLiPasternak, author = {Launert, Benjamin and Li, Zheng and Pasternak, Hartmut}, title = {Development of a new method for the direct numerical consideration of welding effects in the component design of welded plate girders}, series = {Advances in engineering materials, structures and systems : innovations, mechanics and applications : proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics, and Computation (SEMC 2019), September 2-4, 2019, Cape Town, South Africa}, journal = {Advances in engineering materials, structures and systems : innovations, mechanics and applications : proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics, and Computation (SEMC 2019), September 2-4, 2019, Cape Town, South Africa}, editor = {Zingoni, Alphose}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-1-138-38696-9}, pages = {1143 -- 1147}, language = {en} } @misc{PasternakLiStapelfeldetal., author = {Pasternak, Hartmut and Li, Zheng and Stapelfeld, Christoph and J{\"a}ger-Ca{\~n}{\´a}s, Andreas and Launert, Benjamin}, title = {Considering realistic weld imperfections in load bearing capacity calculations of ring-stiffened shells using the analytical numerical hybrid model}, series = {Stability and Ductility of Steel Structures 2019 : Proceedings of the International Colloquia on Stability and Ductility of Steel Structures (SDSS 2019), September 11-13, 2019, Prague, Czech Republic}, journal = {Stability and Ductility of Steel Structures 2019 : Proceedings of the International Colloquia on Stability and Ductility of Steel Structures (SDSS 2019), September 11-13, 2019, Prague, Czech Republic}, edition = {1st Edition}, publisher = {CRC Press}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-0-429-32024-8}, doi = {10.1201/9780429320248}, pages = {882 -- 889}, language = {en} } @misc{WangEulerPasternaketal., author = {Wang, Jian and Euler, Mathias and Pasternak, Hartmut and Li, Zheng and Krausche, Thomas and Launert, Benjamin}, title = {Bending capacity of single and double-sided welded I-section girders: Part 1: Experimental investigations}, series = {Current Perspectives and New Directions in Mechanics, Modelling and Design of Structural Systems : Proceedings of The Eighth International Conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation, 5-7 September 2022, Cape Town, South Africa}, journal = {Current Perspectives and New Directions in Mechanics, Modelling and Design of Structural Systems : Proceedings of The Eighth International Conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation, 5-7 September 2022, Cape Town, South Africa}, publisher = {CRC Press}, address = {Boca Raton}, isbn = {978-1-00-334845-0}, doi = {10.1201/9781003348443-159}, pages = {975 -- 980}, abstract = {The lateral-torsional buckling resistance of welded steel girders is affected by their residual stresses and geo-metric imperfections. Generally, both influences are mainly controlled by the manufacturing process, in partic-ular the welding of the girder. This paper presents experimental investigations on four laterally unbraced welded steel girders with thin-walled I-sections, whose flange-to-web junctions are welded from one or two sides to evaluate the fabrication influence. The investigations include lateral-torsional buckling tests under combined bending and torsion loading caused by three-point bending due to an eccentric vertical single force. The geometric imperfections of the welded test girders are determined by 3D laser scanning. The test results show that the influence of the geometric imperfections and the residual stresses on the lateral-torsional buck-ling resistance is limited for the tested girders.}, language = {en} }
