Hybrid model for prediction of welding distortions in large structures

Abstract

The paper presents a short overview of the contemporary approaches for calculating welding distortions. In order to meet the existing challenges, an advanced hybrid model for prediction of welding distortions in large structures is described. For the purpose of illustrating the capability of this model, a simulation case is put into discussion. The results are validated by comparison with experimental data, as well as with common simulation technique. Analysis of the calculation costs is also presented. The directions for development of calculation technique, based on the presented model, are also suggested.
