By means of a form of finite-element analysis and use of a theoretical, radially symmetrical, temperature distribution, the residual stresses resulting from spot heating at the centre of a large circular plate have been calculated. The investigation was concerned in particular with defining the effect of variations in material yield stress, rate of heat input, and peak temperature on the residual-stress distribution.
