Description
CRC Press Finite Element Analysis of Weld Thermal Cycles Using ANSYS 1st Edition 2022 Softbound by RAVICHANDRAN
Finite Element Analysis of Weld Thermal Cycles Using ANSYS aims at educating a young researcher on the transient analysis of welding thermal cycles using ANSYS. It essentially deals with the methods of calculation of the arc heat in a welded component when the analysis is simplified into either a cross sectional analysis or an in-plane analysis. The book covers five different cases involving different welding processes, component geometry, size of the element and dissimilar material properties. A detailed step by step calculation is presented followed by APDL program listing and output charts from ANSYS._x000D__x000D_Features:_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Provides useful background information on welding processes, thermal cycles and finite element method_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Presents calculation procedure for determining the arc heat input in a cross sectional analysis and an in-plane analysis_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Enables visualization of the arc heat in a FEM model for various positions of the arc _x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Discusses analysis of advanced cases like dissimilar welding and circumferential welding_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Includes step by step procedure for running the analysis with typical input APDL program listing and output charts from ANSYS._x000D_
