The Okerblom’s theory of double-side welded structures states that the resultant longitudinal bending distortion will not be zero in structures that are welded with equal heat input on both the sides of centre of gravity axis, on account of smaller plastically deformed zone near the second weld. However, investigations have not been performed thus far in exploring why such a phenomenon happens. This is the gap that this research work addresses. Accordingly, investigations were made by performing welding on both the edges of a rectangular fin plate using gas metal arc welding (GMAW) both by experimentation and by finite element (FE) simulation using SYSWELD software. Von Mises stress plots and transient strain plots of few elements near the first and second edge of the fin plate were analysed to study their relative influence in causing the plastic deformation of the elements. The analysis showed that the smaller size of the plastic zone formed near the second edge weld was mainly due to the presence of residual tensile strain on the second side elements, formed as result of the weld laid on the first edge of the fin plate.

The present paper discusses the finite element analysis (FEA) performed using SYSWELD software, simulating the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) of a fin plate on one of its edges. The objective of this work is to study how experimentally measured input factors contribute in the close prediction of thermal and mechanical behaviour of the edge welded fin plate, using FE simulation. The fin plate material considered is ASME SA 387 Gr 12 Cl 2 and of size 1200 mm × 50 mm × 6 mm. Three input factors required for the FEA namely the weld profile, solidus temperature, heat input of welding were identified given their possible influence on the accuracy of FEM prediction. All these factors were determined experimentally using appropriate methods. Then, using these factors as inputs, FEA of edge welding in the fin plate was performed in SYSWELD. This was followed by an experimental trial for validation purpose. The trends of thermal history, strain history and longitudinal bending distortion predicted by FEA and their closeness with the experimentally measured values have been discussed. Based on the findings, it was concluded that the experimental measurement of input factors has enabled the accurate FE simulation of edge welding in fin plate.
