Control of Welding Distortion in Thin-Plate Fabrication

Design Support Exploiting Computational Simulation

By: Tom Gray,D. Camilleri,N. McPherson

The intense temperature fields caused by heat sources in welding frequently lead to distortions and residual stresses in the finished product. Welding distortion is a particular problem in fabricating thin plate structures such as ships. Based on pioneering research by the authors, Control of Welding Distortion in Thin-Plate Fabrication reviews distortion test results from trials and shows how outcomes can be modeled computationally. The book provides readers with an understanding of distortion influences and the means to develop distortion-reducing strategies. The book is structured as an integrated treatment. It opens by reviewing the development of computational welding mechanics approaches to distortion. Following chapters describe the industrial context of stiffened plate fabrication and further chapters provide overviews of distortion mechanics and the modeling approach. A chapter on full-scale welding trials is followed by three chapters that develop modeling strategies through thermal process and thermo-mechanical simulations, based on finite-element analysis. Simplified models are a particular feature of these chapters. A final sequence of chapters explores the simulation of welding distortion in butt welding of thin plates and fillet welding of stiffened plate structures, and shows how these models can be used to optimize design and fabrication methods to control distortion. Control of Welding Distortion in Thin-Plate Fabrication is a comprehensive resource for metal fabricators, engineering companies, welders and welding companies, and practicing engineers and academics with an interest in welding mechanics. - Allows practitioners in the field to minimize distortion during the welding of thin plates - Provides computational tools that can give insight into the effects of welding and fabrication procedures - Demonstrates how welding distortion in thin plate fabrications can be minimized through design

Day Trips Within the Orlando Area

Where the Florida Natives Go

By: Joel N McPherson

Little known attractions that were crowded before Disney World existed, these destinations are off the beaten path and are a taste of "old Florida." Today, they are just as beautiful and interesting - but without the crowds and parking problems. Easy one-tank-of-gas day trips, these have been favorites of native Floridians for generations - it's where the locals like to go. Over 30 such places are given with area map detail and mileage from Orlando. Destinations are given in order from shortest to longest trip mileage to help the Orlando vacationer decide what to go see with available time in their vacation schedule. "Old Florida favorites that locals have enjoyed for generations - but never seem to show up in tourist literature. So plan a day trip while visiting the theme parks . . . and see it like a native.
