Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-temperature alloy material processing, and in particular to a neural network constitutive modeling method based on multi-physical parameter response. Background Art

[0002] In the numerical simulation of superalloy plastic forming, the accuracy of the constitutive model directly affects the accuracy of the numerical simulation. The continuous development of numerical simulation technology for superalloy plastic forming allows for in-depth study of superalloy deformation behavior, optimization of forming process parameters, and prediction and control of forming defects, providing important theoretical support and technical means for the manufacture of complex superalloy parts.

[0003] Currently, strain-compensated Arrhenius models and artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been widely used in constitutive material modeling. Existing strain-compensated Arrhenius models, by introducing a strain compensation mechanism, can describe the thermal deformation behavior of materials under varying deformation conditions and are widely used in the study of thermoplastic deformation of metals. However, these models typically extract a small number of data points at intervals of 0.05 to 0.2 for polynomial fitting. This limited data point size can overlook some characteristic information, thus affecting the prediction accuracy of the strain-compensated Arrhenius model. Existing artificial neural networks (ANNs), artificial intelligence models that mimic the structure and function of biological neural networks, are widely used in fields such as data fitting, classification, prediction, image recognition, and natural language processing. However, these ANNs often use shallow structures to fit stress-strain relationships, failing to fully exploit the ANN's potential for processing massive amounts of data and nonlinear fitting, and failing to account for the deeper relationships between external deformation conditions and material parameters.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a method for constructing a new neural network constitutive model that comprehensively considers the responses of multiple physical parameters such as strain rate, temperature, and strain, and solve the problem that the existing technology is difficult to achieve high-precision automatic extraction and fitting of material parameters, is a direction that technical personnel in this field urgently need to study. Summary of the Invention

The cosine annealing double error dynamic adjustment function (CADDAF) and the learning rate adjustment strategy with amplitude decay (CARS-AA) are used to improve the model convergence speed and accuracy.

The calculation result indicates the importance of the input variables to the material parameters, so as to ensure that the established new constitutive model does not ignore part of the characteristic information.

[0025] Furthermore, in step S5, a new error function E is designed. t :
