EWI has recently completed an internal research project on modeling of tensile residual stresses extending more than 5 weld widths from the weld joint. The finite element modeling showed that welding residual stresses could be high rather far away from a weld between two stiff steel components, compared to expectations embodied in API 579/ASME FFS-1. […]
Read MoreLast week, a writer for TMS met with Ed Herderick, an applications engineer in EWI‘s Materials Group, to talk about the workshop he’s planning with TMS experts on the topic of ICME (integrated computational materials engineering). See what Ed had to say about why it’s the right time for this workshop, and why a roadmap for […]
Read MoreAnother day, another engineering innovation, another acronym. Today’s acronym: ICME, or Integrated Computational Materials Engineering. If you haven’t heard it yet, don’t worry, you will. ICME is an emerging discipline that can accelerate materials development and unify design and manufacturing. It’s something EWI’s materials scientists and modeling engineers, as well as our friends at TMS (The Minerals, […]
Read MoreWalter (welding engineer): Hi, Michael. I know you are doing modeling work for welding but I am not sure how this can help people like me. Could you explain it to me? Michael (modeling engineer): Yes, Walter. As we all know, various welding methods have been widely adopted to join materials together. There are all […]
