In the past decades, thin-plate weldments have been increasingly used in various
engineering structures to meet the requirements of lightweight. However, deformation …

Large welding-induced distortions are inevitably generated in a thin-plate welded joint due
to its weak stiffness. In this study, an equivalent thermal strain method based on inherent …

Buckling distortion as a troublesome engineering issue is easily generated in thin-plate arc-
welded components (generally less than 4 mm in thickness). This study aims to clarify the …

Welding induced buckling is generally considered as the most complicated type of out-of-
plane welding distortion during thin plate section fabrication, which will significantly …

Various regulations are being devised and implemented to prevent the environmental
pollution that is threatening mankind. The International Maritime Organization has …

Unwanted distortions are typically observed in components after the welding process.
Physical trial tests and extra post-treatments are being widely utilized in industries to …

Clamping scheme may change the local stiffness and affect the welding deformation which
is very important for the large thin-walled joints connected by friction stir welding with heavy …

This study proposed a framework to train an artificial neural network (ANN) by a data-driven
system to predict the temperature and distortion in multi-layer direct metal deposition (DMD) …

Ship structures are referred to as plated and/or welded structures. Plates are sequentially
welded using a high-temperature heat source to assemble the overall ship. The heat source …

316L stainless steel pipes are widely used in the storage and transportation of low-
temperature media due to their excellent low-temperature mechanical properties and …
