In this study, residual stress distributions of the welds with different strength on low alloy steel curved plate are measured and calculated by using the hole drilling method and finite element analysis simulating realistic welding process. The residual stress distributions are compared to validate the finite element analysis model and procedure. As a result of comparison, it is found that the residual stress analysis has good agreement with the measurement by hole drilling method.
