The specific steps include: generating multiple candidate solutions based on the initial settings, that is, the candidate set of initial torque values; in the optimization process, adding mechanical constraints and system stability conditions to ensure that the optimization results meet the actual engineering needs; using the optimization algorithm to perform multiple rounds of optimization through fitness evaluation, crossover, mutation and other operations, gradually approaching the optimal solution; after multiple iterations, selecting the solution with the optimal objective function value as the final result, that is, the optimal torque value ; Obtain the optimal torque value through the optimization process It can simultaneously meet the following conditions: minimizing residual stress distortion, maximizing load coordination and maximizing stiffness consistency; the optimal torque value obtained according to the optimization results , and apply it in stages. At each stage of torque application, the equivalent stiffness and residual stress distortion of each bolt hole are monitored in real time to calculate whether it meets the preset tightening standard. If a bolt hole does not meet the requirements, the torque value is adjusted in time. Through real-time monitoring and feedback adjustment, the tightening process of each bolt hole can be precisely controlled to avoid mechanical unevenness or excessive or insufficient torque. After all bolt holes are closed and meet the preset torque requirements, the final values ​​of load coordination, stiffness consistency and residual stress distortion indicators are calculated to evaluate whether the overall tightening process has achieved the optimization goal. If all target values ​​meet the design requirements, the tightening process is completed. If there is a deviation, appropriate adjustments are made and re-optimization is carried out. The final evaluation ensures the uniformity and stability of the entire tightening process. The optimization strategy is adjusted through multi-objective evaluation to ensure that the final tightening effect meets high-standard mechanical requirements.

Specifically, the optimal torque value is divided into N stages, and the torque increment applied in each stage is set according to a preset strategy. The torque increment applied in the initial stage is small, and the increment is gradually increased in the later stage to ensure a smooth transition of the tightening process. The calculation logic of the torque increment in each stage is: , For the The torque increment of each stage, is the initial torque value applied, is the optimal torque value, The total number of stages, is the adjustment coefficient, is the number of the current stage; It is used to control the growth rate of the torque increment between each stage, with a value range of [0,5]. The calculation logic of the application time interval of each stage is: , For the The time interval between stages, is the initial time interval, For the current stage Deviation between the current preload force of the bolt hole and the target preload force, and is the adjustment coefficient; Used to control the growth rate of the stage interval, the value range is [0,1]; Used to control the impact of preload deviation on the time interval, with a value range of [0,1]. By controlling the time interval and increment of torque application, mechanical instability caused by excessively rapid torque application can be avoided, ensuring the long-term stability and reliability of the flange sealing surface.
