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.

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.
