Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model based on thermal-elastic-plastic
approach in SYSWELD® was employed to investigate the effects of welding sequences on …

This paper presents an effective numerical approach for welding process parameter
optimization to minimize weld-induced distortion in structures. A numerical optimization …

Welding distortion is an unavoidable issue due to localized expansion and contraction
during the heating and cooling cycles, and has a negative effect on the fabrication process …

Categorised as a directed energy deposition process, wire arc additive manufacturing
(WAAM) is a promising technology for fabricating large-scale structures and components …

This paper presents numerical case studies on the influence of clam** on welding
distortion. For the case studies a 1mm DP600 overlap joint and a 6mm S355 T-joint have …

Conventional manufacturing processes often require a large amount of machining and
cannot satisfy the continuously increasing requirements of a sustainable, low cost, and …

This study introduces a welding process design tool to determine optimal arc welding
process parameters based on Finite Element Method (FEM), Response Surface Method …

The solution of combinatorial optimization problems usually involves the consideration of
many possible design configurations. This often makes such approaches computationally …

One of the main objectives when designing welded products is to reduce strains and
deformations. Strains can cause excessive angular distortion. This results in a welded …
