Abstract
Modelling strategies and results from previous chapters are brought together in a comprehensive treatment of butt welding procedures. Various practical issues are treated, including effects on distortion of initial out-of-flatness, disposition of supports, tacking assembly and clamping of components. In the case of clamping, it is shown that excessively constrained clamping strategies can lead to greater levels of distortion than if the components are relatively unconstrained. The outcomes of the various simulation methods for prediction of residual stresses in butt welds are described. Effects in multiple longitudinal butt welds where there are interactions between several welds in an assembly are shown.
