Application of internal state variable plasticity and damage models to welding

Conference ·
OSTI ID:555222

An internal state variable constitutive model coupled with a ductile void growth model is applied in two finite element simulations of welding. Shrinkage of a 304 L stainless steel pipe due to multipass gas tungsten arc welds is presented as an example of tracking distortion far from the weld. Weld solidification cracking in Al-6061 disks is presented as an application of the plasticity model coupled with the damage model.
