[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of bridge engineering, and in particular relates to a diagonal brace node plate welding residual stress field distribution model and a construction method. Background Art
[0002] During the brace gusset welding process, non-uniform heating and cooling of the material often generate significant residual stresses. These residual stresses can adversely affect the strength, stiffness, and fatigue life of the structure, and may even lead to premature failure. Therefore, accurately predicting and analyzing the distribution of welding residual stresses in brace gusset welding is crucial for improving structural reliability and safety.
[0003] Existing techniques primarily focus on measuring welding residual stresses and predicting fatigue crack initiation from a microscopic perspective. However, the distribution patterns of residual stress fields in structures such as braced gussets are understudied. This patent, building on existing welding residual stress analysis methods, proposes a new distribution model and construction method for the specialized requirements of braced gusset welding. This method overcomes the limitations of traditional methods and simplifies and summarizes the residual stress field in braced gusset welding. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical solution adopted to solve the above technical problems is: a diagonal brace node plate welding residual stress field distribution model, which is composed of the welding residual vertical stress distribution σ v (x,y) and welding residual transverse stress distribution σ h (x, y), the welding residual vertical stress distribution σ v (x,y) is:
[0006]
[0007] The welding residual transverse stress distribution σ h (x,y) is:
[0008]

This model is closer to actual welding conditions and improves prediction accuracy. A Gaussian multi-peak fitting algorithm is used to separately determine the residual vertical and transverse stress distributions in welding, further enhancing the model's applicability and accuracy. The proposed method has good applicability for the residual stress field distribution in brace gusset plate welding and can be widely applied to the analysis of various similar welded structures.

[0050] Example 3
[0051] The residual stress field distribution model of the brace node plate welding involved in this embodiment is shown in equations (1) and (2), and the construction method is the same as that of embodiment 1.
[0052] In this embodiment, in formula (1), w is selected v1 is 7.33, w v2 9.30, w x is 0.23, h1 is 400mm, h2 is 200mm, B1 is 800mm, B2 is 500mm, t w is 10 mm, and w is selected in formula (2) h1 is 10.41, w h2The corresponding welding residual stress field distribution is constructed, where the welding residual vertical stress field distribution at the longitudinal position x corresponding to Q345 steel is 400mm is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the distribution of the welding residual transverse stress field at the longitudinal position x of 400 mm is as follows: Figure 6 The vertical and transverse stress peak values for Q235, Q345, and Q550 steels are shown in Table 3.
[0053] Table 3 Peak values of welding residual stress
[0054]
[0055] As shown in Tables 1, 2, and 3, high-yield-strength steel is more likely to generate higher residual stresses during welding. The peak value of the transverse positive stress is significantly higher than the absolute value of the transverse negative stress, indicating that during welding, the steel exhibits primarily tensile stress in the transverse direction, while the compressive stress is relatively small. This stress distribution makes the welded structure more susceptible to tensile deformation or cracking in the transverse direction. The above examples are consistent with actual engineering, indicating that the model has a certain degree of universality under different size and material conditions.
