This paper proposes an analytical model for the stress-strain state in a welded joint with a hard single-V butt weld. Analytical expressions for the stress-strain state in both the hard weld and the mild main material subjected to elasto-plastic deformation are proposed. In order to verify the proposed expressions, a finite element simulation of the stress-strain state in a welded joint with a hard single-V butt weld was carried out and the results were compared to the analytical results obtained applying the proposed analytical model. The analytical solution was basically consistent with the finite element analysis results. The proposed analytical model can be used in design practice for assessment of the stress-strain state in welded joints.
