Concepts about macro and micro residual stresses in metals are considered in welding. In a simple welding model is shown how shrinkage macro stress results and how this can contribute to understand the distribution of residual stresses in common type of welded joint. Further, comments are made concerning the effects of additional mechanical and metallurgical phenomena, distortion in weldments and dimensional discrepancies.394-403porJoints (structural components)Mathematical modelsMetallurgyResidual stressesShrinkageStress analysisStress concentrationWeldsDimensional discrepanciesMacro stressesMicro stressesWelding modelWeldmentsWeldingArtigoAcesso aberto2-s2.0-00295178422-s2.0-0029517842.pdf
