SUMMARY:
The effects of residual stresses on welding shrinkages and buckling behaviour of stiffened panels are analysed. After a review of modelling and numerical analysis methods, several investigations were carried out. These included round-robin calculations within the International Institute of Welding and computations of the welding and fairing process at stiffened plates. The major part concerned the analysis of residual stresses and distortions of panels made of normal and fine-levelled plates. The investigation included measurements of residual stresses during the fabrication process with the ultrasonic and borehole method. For a comparison, finite element calculations were performed which allow critical residual stress states to be predicted. In an additional investigation, series of welding tests and measurements of small plate-stiffener specimens were carried out under laboratory conditions, to investigate the influence of material properties, welding parameters and residual stresses on the scattering of the distortion values
