COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS TO CONTROL WELDING DEFORMATION IN THIN PLATE

Globally in the shipbuilding industry, the computational method is a more productive method than the experimental and machine learning method. The Thermal Elastic Plastic (TEP) method for computational analysis is simulated in the FEMAP Software to analyse the welding deformation of thin plates. To validate the non – linear behaviour of the thin plate, the computational and experimental results are compared. The TEP – FEM method assesses the welding deformation in the thin plate and optimizes the welding procedure specification and sequence to increase productivity.
