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 More >
