VIRTUAL TECHNOLOGICAL EXPERIMENT IN WELDING

Objective

The objective of VITEWE is to develop a method that allows the optimisation of welding parameters using a virtual reality procedure before the execution of the actual welding. This method will be based on sophisticated mathematical models, advanced methods of numerical simulations, a specially created database concerning welding technologies and equipment, and an advanced virtual reality graphical representation of the welding.

The virtual welding experiment will be organised as follows:
the user will choose the basic welding technology to be used (laser, plasma-arc, electron beam, etc.), the required set up, materials to be welded, and the welding parameters (speed, power, energy beam diameter);
based on the chosen welding conditions, a virtual experiment will be executed numerically; the evolution of the welding process will be represented by the dynamics of: temperature fields, molten pool shape, keyhole formation, etc.;
the whole virtual experiment will be analysed by a virtual diagnostic equipment such as pyrometers, acoustic emission, thermocouples, spectrometers, etc.;
the result of the virtual experiment will be represented by a 3D image of the obtained welded seam and its cross-sections;
the results of the virtual welding will be analysed and necessary modifications of the parameters will take place before the next virtual welding.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
