Simulation-based numerical optimization of arc welding process for reduced distortion in welded structures

Submitted by Mohammad Refat… on

This paper presents an effective numerical approach for welding process
parameter optimization to minimize weld-induced distortion in
structures. A numerical optimization framework based on coupled Genetic
Algorithm (GA) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is developed and
implemented for a low and a high fidelity model. Classical weakly
coupled thermo-mechanical analysis with thermo-elasto-plastic
assumptions is carried out for distortion prediction of numerical
models. The search for optimum process parameters is executed by direct
integration of numerical models and GA-based optimization technique. The
developed framework automatically inserts the process parameters into
the simulation models, executes the FE-based welding simulations and

2D modelling of laser welding

Submitted by Tisha on

while carrying out a simple 2D analysis of welding of butt joint considering the source of constant heat flux and applying it at certain nodes as constant heat flux, i encountered a problem that it says that the temperature at particular node is exceeding the pre set limit and no solution is obtained. I am a freshman in Ansys so any help in this regard will be helpful

Thermo-mechanical model of friction stir welding

Submitted by Aurelio on

My name is Aurelio Tronci and I am a PhD student at the University of Cagliari (Italy). My research topics are related to friction stir welding (FSW). The work done so far has focused on the application of the DOE technique in order to investigate the influence of welding parameters on the microstructural and mechanical properties of aluminum alloys (AA 2198 T3-T8) joints. At the moment I am interested in the development of a thermo-mechanical model of FSW with CFD, but I find it really difficult to find material constants (Sellars and Tegart law) for all the alloys I have to test.
