Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the fields of computational mechanics and intelligent manufacturing, and in particular, it is a method for rapidly predicting machining deformation fields using geometrically guided neural operators. Specifically, it is a deformation field prediction method based on geometrically guided manifold neural operators and its application. Background Technology
[0002] During machining, structural components are prone to deformation, which severely affects assembly accuracy, fatigue life, and overall performance, especially in large and complex structural components in fields such as aerospace. Machining deformation arises from the release and redistribution of residual stress fields, resulting in both overall and localized deformation. Effective control of machining deformation requires extensive process optimization and iteration for both online and offline control, as well as predicting deformation fields under different residual stress fields. This places higher demands on the accuracy and efficiency of machining deformation prediction. Therefore, accurate and rapid prediction of the machining deformation field of parts is crucial for optimizing machining processes, controlling deformation, and improving machining quality. Currently, machining deformation field prediction has become one of the key technological requirements in the fields of intelligent manufacturing and advanced manufacturing.
[0003] Existing methods for predicting machining deformation mainly include numerical methods based on the finite element method (FEM) and data-driven methods based on deep learning. The finite element method offers high simulation accuracy and is suitable for deformation prediction under fixed geometry and specific physical quantities reflecting the stress field, including residual stress and deformation forces. However, the computational cost of the finite element method increases exponentially with geometric complexity and problem size, resulting in high computation time and memory requirements. Furthermore, when the geometry, stress field, or deformation force changes, the finite element method typically requires remodeling and recalculation, leading to low prediction efficiency and difficulty in meeting the efficiency and real-time requirements for predicting machining deformation fields in actual production.
[0004] Deep learning-based methods for predicting machining deformation fields leverage the powerful nonlinear fitting capabilities of neural networks to learn complex mapping relationships between stress fields, deformation forces, and deformation from large amounts of data, exhibiting a certain level of prediction accuracy and generalization ability. However, traditional neural networks can only establish discrete mapping relationships between stress, deformation forces, and partial deformation quantities, making it difficult to establish a mapping relationship from stress fields and deformation forces to deformation fields. Neural operators, by learning the mapping between parameter functions and solution functions of partial differential equations, offer a new approach to predicting machining deformation fields. However, existing neural operator techniques are mainly applied to fixed geometric domains, and their applicability in terms of geometric representation and computational accuracy remains limited for complex structural components with varying geometries. Furthermore, current research largely focuses on simple geometries or two-dimensional planar domains, while predicting deformation fields in complex three-dimensional geometric domains remains challenging. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of high computation time and memory requirements, as well as limited application areas and adaptability of existing machining deformation prediction methods. This invention proposes a geometry-guided manifold neural operator-based deformation field prediction method and its applications.
