| Abstract [eng] |
During a welding process, the influence of temper-ature distribution plays an important role affecting the vul-nerable regions of the welded component. This research aims at presenting data on similar cases where a detailed comparative evaluation provides necessary data for design-ing a component based on its structural behaviour due to in-duced temperature variance during the groove welding pro-cess using finite element approach. The finite element simulations render a real-world scenario of the groove welding process by integrating the concept of ‘Moving heat source’ under transient conditions in ANSYS. The numerical comparative study is achieved by simulating a thermal study of the welded components of dif-ferent bearing support flange plate thickness and evaluating its structural behaviour under induced thermal loads. The numerical solutions obtained from these sim-ulations provide necessary data which helps in identifying the feasible design approach to increase the life of a welded component under such temperature-dependent conditions. |
