Abstract

Seam welds are widely used in assembled structures for connecting components. However, the dynamic effects of a seam weld are often difficult to characterise in numerical models for several reasons: (1) it is often not wise to build a fine mesh on the seam line which will add considerable computational cost for a structure with many welds, (2) the mechanical properties of weld materials are not well known; (3) sometimes some geometric information about welds is not known beforehand. In this work, the finite element model of a welding connection part is developed by employing CSEAM element in NASTRAN and its feasibility for representing a seam weld is investigated. Based on this result, a damage detection method by updating the properties of the built CSEAM elements is also proposed for welding quality assurance. The damage takes the form of a gap in the weld which causes a sharp change of model strain energy at the edges of the gap for certain vibration modes. Specifically, the model strain energy shape is used as the objective function. A Kriging model is introduced for efficiency and simulation of a T-shaped welded plate structure to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.
