Interpolation of final geometry and result fields in process parameter space

摘要

Different routes to produce a product in a bulk forming process can be described by a limited set of process parameters. The parameters determine the final geometry as well as the distribution of state variables in the final shape. Ring rolling has been simulated using different parameter settings. The final state variable fields have been subjected to Principal Component Analysis. Interpolation of amplitudes in process parameter space gives a good representation of the fields and is useful as metamodel of the process.
