Deposition patterns can significantly affect residual stress distribution in additive manufacturing processes. In this paper, a novel deposition pattern, the S-pattern, is proposed for the additive manufacturing process. The finite element method is used to study the temperature and stress field of ...

The effect of residual stress on fracture of materials or structures has been widely studied. However, its influence on ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT), a crucial phenomenon of structural materials, has rarely been investigated so far. In the present study, employing the eigenstrain method resid...

Laser beam welding (LBW) and laser-arc hybrid welding (LAHW) are attractive joining methods of medium thickness (10-20 mm) plates in a single pass welding technique. Both utilize high energy process in order to achieve high penetration depth and high welding speeds offering substantial increase in p...
