Abstract

Integral structures, fabricated using welding, present residual stresses, and these affect their behaviour in particular fatigue crack propagation. Residual stresses of welded metallic structures are discussed with an emphasis on numerical modelling using the finite element method and experimental measurement using the contour technique. Modelling of residual stress created by welding was carried out using the ESI software Sysweld. The reference to this software highlights aspects of interest for engineering applications through a number of examples found in the literature; these were chosen because of their exemplary nature, even if coming from a variety of applications.
