Brittle fracture and fatigue crack propagation in welded structures are largely affected by residual stress and defects created by the welding process. This study is concerned with the prediction of residual stresses in complex multi-pass weldments with the use of the finite element technique. The theoretical model, developed by extensively modifying a commercially available thermal-elastic-plastic finite elements package, provides good agreement with independent experimental work. The computational model is capable of predicting three-dimensional welding residual stresses through the thickness of a multi-pass weldment in the as-fabricated condition.A simplified approach to the analysis was maintained in order to reduce computation time. This questions the necessity for an overly complex analysis which models variable thermal properties, phase changes, time-dependent plasticity, temperatures beyond melting point and temperature-dependent mechanical properties (except yield strength). Very few studies attempt to identify the parameters which must be included in order to maintain an accurate result. In addition, there is little published data concerning the prediction of the through-thickness residual stress distribution in multi-pass weldments. The mechanical and welding details of the experimental specimens presented in this paper are clearly indicated in an attempt to provide reliable data for comparison.
