  • 摘要: 文章基于TC4钛合金焊接接头的超高周疲劳试验构建以数据增强为基础的疲劳寿命预测的机器学习模型。在应力比R'=−1的情况下对TC4焊接接头展开超高周疲劳试验,通过扫描电镜(scanning electron microscope, SEM)和Image J软件对断口进行观测或测量,结合S-N曲线获得应力幅值、疲劳寿命、缺陷位置、裂纹特征尺寸等原始数据。采用最近邻插值(nearest neighbor interpolation, NNI)和基于高斯混合模型的最近邻插值(Gaussian mixture model-based nearest neighbor interpolation, GMM-NNI)对原始数据进行数据增强后建立反馈(back propagation, BP)神经网络模型和随机森林(random forest, RF)模型,并研究不同的机器学习模型对TC4钛合金焊接接头的疲劳寿命预测性能。结果表明,TC4焊接接头的超高周疲劳以内部失效为主,这与焊接接头的制造工艺和应力比密切相关;GMM-NNI扩展的数据集可有效改善机器学习模型的预测性能;采用指标评价模型有效性,其结果是BP神经网络模型的预测精度更佳;结合数据增强方法,GMM-NNI数据集下的BP神经网络模型在预测TC4焊接接头的疲劳寿命时具有更好的泛化能力和预测精度。

     

    Abstract: A machine learning model for fatigue life prediction of TC4 welded joints is constructed based on very high-cycle fatigue tests and data augmentation using different interpolation methods. Very high cycle fatigue tests were conducted on TC4 welded joints under a stress ratio (R') of −1, and the original dataset characteristics, including stress amplitude, defect location, feature size and fatigue life, were obtained from S-N curves, SEM and Image J. Two machine learning models, namely back propagation (BP) neural network and random forest (RF), were established using the dataset augmented by nearest neighbor interpolation (NNI) and Gaussian mixture model-based nearest neighbor interpolation (GMM-NNI). The effects of different date augmentation methods on the predictive performance of these models were investigated. The results indicate that the failure mode for TC4 welded joints under very high-cycle fatigue is primarily internal failure, which is closely related to the fabrication process and stress ratio. The dataset augmented by GMM-NNI effectively improves the prediction performance of the machine learning models. The BP neural model, evaluated using specific metrics, demonstrates higher accuracy. When combined with data augmentation methods, the BP neural network model trained on the GMM-NNI dataset exhibits better generalization ability and prediction accuracy for the fatigue life of TC4 titanium alloy welded joints than the RF model.
