Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of different tack welding fabrication procedures on the final deformations of seam welded plate structures. In this study the length of the tacks, number of tacks, and position of tacks with respect to the final seam weld are altered, and their sensitivity with respect to out-of-plane deformation is established. A parametric study of these three different procedural variations is performed via finite element models to identify which fabrication procedures would lead to minimal out-of-plane distortion.
