Abstract In this paper, the inherent deformation of fillet welded thin plate T-joints is studied. The prediction procedure of inherent deformation consists of three parts: part one, a three dimensional (3D) thermo-elastic-plastic analysis using an in house finite element (FE) code of interactive substructure method (ISM) is utilized to obtain the welding distortions; part two, corresponding experiments are carried out to verify the computational results of ISM; part three, using the verified computational results, the inverse analysis is utilized to evaluate the welding inherent deformation. Based on the results in this study, an inherent deformations database of fillet welded thin plate… More >
