... is employed in simulating the heating process. Transversal inherent strain is linearized from the computed distortion of the flat plate and applied in the elastic analysis, using higher order Gauss-Legendre (4-nodes shell elements). The accuracy of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparing the angular...

...; a 3D Thermal-Elastic-Plastic FEA to evaluate inherent deformation, and an elastic analysis based on the Inherent Strain/Deformation Method. Based on the computational results, the phenomenon of buckling deformation can be clearly explained. Using the same method, the line heating process is simulated...

... by elastic analysis using the inherent deformation theory even with complex heating sequences. INTRODUCTION Line heating is an effective method to form curved shell plates with complex three-dimensional geometry. However, line heating process is mostly dependent on the skill of hard-to-find experienced...

... with an elastic analysis, the effects of material plasticity are discussed. In the case of elasto-plastic analysis, it is observed that the impulse decreases, displacements increase and contact time duration is longer than the elastic case. And the time variation of the impacting load is not significant due...

These methods are outlined. Additionally welding...
