The methodology is applied to the structural analysis of typical welded plates belonging to ship structures, and the effect of residual stresses on the elastoplastic behavior of plates loaded axially is analyzed in comparison to the residual stress free case, both for tension and compression and including initial imperfections. Residual stresses affect in different manner plates with different geometries; thus a parametric study is performed covering the usual range of variation of the most important plate parameters that control the strength of the plates, more precisely the slenderness and the aspect ratio. The results from finite elements analysis are compared with codes and most established formulations and recommendations of applicability in the prediction of load-shortening curves for hull\u2019s bending strength evaluation, ultimate strength and ultimate strain of plate elements are made.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jmse8090702","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,10]],"date-time":"2020-09-10T09:10:09Z","timestamp":1599729009000},"page":"702","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Effect of Residual Stresses on the Elastoplastic Behavior of Welded Steel Plates"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0402-0776","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Manuel","family":"Gordo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CENTEC, Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico, University of Lisbon, 1649-004 Lisboa, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"60","DOI":"10.5957\/jsr.1996.40.1.60","article-title":"Approximate assessment of the ultimate longitudinal strength of the hull girder","volume":"40","author":"Gordo","year":"1996","journal-title":"J.
