A new computer model for welding by surface heating is used to predict the residual stresses in the weldment. By incorporating both solid and fluid phases during melting and solidification it is possible to monitor the complete history of the stress field, as well as the residual stress field. Predicted results when compared to an available experiment show qualitative agreements.
