Distortion analysis and optimization of grillage structure assembly process by finite element inherent strain method (FE-ISM)-part 1: connector element as a new weld interface model
Key Points
Connector elements were introduced as a novel weld interface model for optimization.
The finite element inherent strain method was used to analyze distortions in the assembly process.
Optimization resulted in reduced distortion during the assembly of grillage structures, with improvements noted.
Validating the model demonstrates significant potential for enhanced efficiency in structural assembly.
