Dear. Expert

I was performing the numerical analysis for weld residual stress.

but, I don't konw the difference for mean between welding heat input(J/mm) and heat flux(J/mm3).

Could you tell me about that?

Accordingly, Please recommend the document and other paper for welding, residual stress(FEM)

Thank you :)

Hey Material boy,
Welcome to the Original AWS Welding Forum.

Welding heat input should be expressed in J/min. 
J/mm or J/mm3 is a force.

As far as FEM for residual stress, different software uses different techniques.  Choose your poison.
