The Influence of Geometrical and Welding Imperfections on the Strength of Stiffened Structures
(2018)
The strength calculation of stiffened plates and shells via finite element simulation has been part of the state of the art for a long time. Geometrical nonlinearities as well as the nonlinear material behavior are considered within the calculation. To simplify, both types of imperfections, geometrical and structural ones, are mostly combined in these strength calculations being considered as equivalent geometrical imperfections. Values for standard cases are included in EN 1993-1-5 in case of plated structures or 1-6 in case of shells. A second possibility is the separate definition of fabrication tolerances and residual stresses, as far as they are known. With increasing complexity of the structure, less information are however available on geometrical and particularly structural imperfections. Nevertheless, by means of a more realistic consideration of these values, the actual ultimate load can be determined significantly more exactly and the performance of high performance steel structures is increased.
In the investigated cases, deformations and stresses arise mainly due to welding. Therefore, the topic of this article is the application of an analytical numerical hybrid model for predicting imperfections induced by welds. This is presented on an example of a stiffened steel structure and a subsequent ultimate load calculation. At the beginning the analytical model, its physical basis as well as the physical interrelationships are introduced and explained. This is followed by the explanation of the coupling procedure between the analytical model and the numerical calculation for the calculation of weld-induced deformations and residual stresses. The significance of the hybrid model is proven by means of a few sample applications. For a realistic determination of the weld imperfections in the investigated stiffened structure, the coupled hybrid model is used afterwards. An ultimate load analysis gives information about the load carrying behavior under axial loading. The results are compared with the results of an ultimate load analysis from a literature example assuming different eigenvalues with different scaling. The results underline the potential additional utilization of load bearing capacity by this new approach.
The series of impulse friction stir welding (IFSW) experiments for aluminum alloy 6082-T6 butt joints was performed to obtain micrographs, tensile and hardness test samples and to receive the validation data for a numerical model of the process. Impulse force and frequency were varied to determine the effect of individual process parameters on microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of the welded butt joints. A three-dimensional model was established to simulate temperature distribution, heat generation and contact state between the tool and the workpiece during IFSW. Based on the numerical simulation, the influence of the impulses on heat input, maximum weld temperatures and contact state was found. The combination of impulse force and frequency effected the grain refinement. The influence of impulses on the elongation and hardness of the welded joints during IFSW were determined.
Investigation of thermal shock behaviour of refractory ceramics based on the calcium-aluminate
(2015)
The object of the present work is the introduction of a welding simulation approach for aluminium to steel welded joints which are realised by short-arc welding. The study is carried out with special emphasis on the simulation of temperature field by means of conduction solution, on the
applicability of different metallurgical models as well as the aspects of the mechanical simulation of the residual welding stresses and distortions. As result an approved heat source model is suggested and the calibration parameters are presented. For the modelling of the microstructure and corresponding thermomechanical material properties in the heat affected zone different material models are validated. They are used to simulate the welding residual stresses and distortions. Furthermore, the welding simulation of a real component as well as a simulation study of different welding scenarios is presented.
