The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Distortion due to heat input from welding is well known, but difficult to predict. It causes re-work, adds cost and may affect strength. The paper addresses the complexity of the problem using a neural network model as a predictor. This gave good agreement with experimental distortion data. The sensitivity of results to different variables, including chemical composition, is reported.
