hi.
I am doing my M.Tech project on " Distortion analysis and its impact on welded assembly", i am looking E O Reactor tube sheet having two long seam having 8540mm dia and 391mm thick.with double j groove by saw process( single wire as well as tendom wire),i have all distortion data of welding , now i want to do FEA to corelate the data, and other thing i want to do mockup weld on50mm thick plate by using same parameters which are using in tube sheet and then do fea , so i want to know wether this result of low thick plate are applicable for heavy thick plate or not
