FE modelling strategies of weld repair in pre-stressed thin components

Two computational procedures have been developed in the commercial finite element (FE) software codes Sysweld and Abaqus to analyse and predict the residual stress state after the repair of small weld defects in thin structural components. The numerical models allow the effects of the repair to be s...
