研究目的
To minimize the distortions of a complex frame structure with multiple welds by using a meta-model based on an Artificial Neural Network and a genetic algorithm to efficiently find suitable welding parameters.
研究成果
The method reliably identifies optimized welding parameters for minimizing distortions in complex structures with multiple welds. The combination of metamodeling based on Artificial Neural Networks and optimization by means of a genetic algorithm is effective in handling the complexity resulting from a multitude of welding possibilities.
研究不足
The model does not account for phase transitions and preloading due to the production history. The accuracy could be improved by refining the FE model in terms of temperature-dependent and strain rate-dependent material properties.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The method involves dividing the global structure into sub-areas and using a meta-model to predict local distortions. A genetic algorithm is then used to find optimized welding parameters.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
