deviatoric plasticity. The presence of non-uniform stresses in three directions in a localized region. leading to localized plasticity when the resolved shear stress increases above the yield point.
elasto-visco-plastic: A type of constitutive model that accounts for basic linear stress-strain behavior C’elasto”), timedependant creep and swelling (“visco”) and time-independent nonlinear stress-strain response (“plastic”). Within this broad description, many examples of widely varying complexity exist.
finite element analysis. A numerical method for solving partial differential equations that describes the response of a structure to external loading (thermal and mechanical) conditions.
heat flux. The rate at which the energy is transferred through a unit area of surface, for example, during welding of a
plate.
plane strain. The out-of-plane strain components are zero everywhere in a 2D structure. plane stress. The out-of-plane stress components are zero everywhere in a 2D structure.
power density. The amount of power absorbed or generated per unit volume in the neighborhood of a point.
residual stress. The stresses that remain in the structure after the completion of welding after all external forces acting on the structure are removed.
simulation result. The final result of the performed simulation in terms of the selected welding specific characteristics.5 solution method. An approach to solving a generated mathematical model using numerical algorithms.5
validation. The process of determining the degree to which a model is an accurate representation of the real world from the perspective of the intended uses of the model.
validation experiment. An experiment designed specifically for validating the calculation results with maximum possible coverage of all relevant data and uncertainty.5
verification. A methodology to test consistency between the physical model, the mathematical model, and the solution method in which, as opposed to the validation, no experimental data are employed.5
4. Approach
This guide extends the ASME V&V 10—2006 standard’s philosophy on CSM to CWM. The specific approach utilized here is to produce a general V&V document (this standard) supplemented by more specific and nonmandatory guidance contained in recommended practices. The relationship between V&V and recommended practices is shown in Figure 2. These recommended practices for CWM will provide guidelines and for both verification and validation methodologies for different modeling procedures relevant to welding. With these methodologies, a practitioner of CWM will he able to develop and deploy CWM for different aspects of welding.
As per the methodology, the first step identifies the intended use and priority for this activity. A simple overview of welding processes, materials, and intended applications indicates that this standard could have a wide reaching impact. Clause 5 describes a V&V document for residual stress and distortion. It is important to note that some of the methodologies and procedures to be developed may crosscut other V&V documents for microstructure and performance prediction to be developed in the future.
Predictions of residual stress and distortion require different modeling procedures and the V&V methodologies are described for each of the following procedures. In this document, first the verification of the methodology for residual stress and distortion is presented. The validation clause will follow this clause.AWS A9.5  pdf download.
