This study investigates the ability of global polynomial regression models to predict such deviations in clinch joint properties, based on finite element (FE) simulation data and evaluates them through variation simulations and experimental testing. A comprehensive dataset was generated using a validated simulation model to train polynomial regression models. These models were then applied to six distinct clinching process configurations. The metamodels show excellent agreement with the variation simulations, achieving coefficients of prognosis (CoP) above 0.95. Experimental validation using z-scores and Empirical Coverage Probability (ECP) indicates high predictive accuracy for bottom thickness (BT), partially accurate results for neck thickness (NE), and a systematic underestimation of interlock (IL). The predicted 95.5 % confidence intervals are overly conservative for bottom thickness, while for neck thickness and interlock, the intervals are often misaligned with the actual measurements, reflecting biased predictions. The results underline both the potential and the limitations of polynomial regression models for predicting variations in clinch joint properties.

The present study proposed a curved layering and path planning strategy based on the discrete intersection points of multi-directional slices, achieving the unification of planar slicing and curved slicing in the processing logic of the model. Building on traditional planar contour offset methods, it introduced multiple vertical slices, achieving the dimensional transformation of discrete point information from 2D to 3D.

This strategy was applied to path analysis and accuracy discussions on target models like helmet, and experimental validation was conducted using a continuous fiber multi-axis printing platform based on a six-axis robotic arm. The results showed that the curved slicing paths generated exhibited superior theoretical accuracy of surface contours, effectively suppressing the staircase effect.

Causal deep learning methods have prominent advantages by introducing inductive biases for making the prediction using other observable variables than residual stress. However, the natural aging process of metal parts involves creep and stress relaxation, where the aging deformation is resulted by the cumulated temporal effects of time-varying residual stress from previous time stages. Existing causal deep learning methods are carried out only based on instant causal-effects of cause variables at a certain time stage, which ignores the cumulation of temporal causal-effects and restricts the prediction accuracy. To this end, this paper proposes a new cumulated temporal causal-effects based model. The cumulated causal-effects are defined as the convolution of time-varying causal variables and their mechanisms, and a modified dynamic convolutional neural network is applied in the model to learn the cumulated temporal causal-effects of residual stress and make aging deformation prediction.

Two lap joint configurations were designed by placing the short-fiber composite on either the upper or lower side. Fiber redistribution and porosity characteristics in the weld zone were investigated, and the underlying joint-strengthening mechanisms were analyzed. Results show that short fibers exhibit higher mobility and deformability during welding, promoting fiber migration into the interface and enhancing bonding. Placing the short-fiber composites on the upper side resulted in higher tensile strength, particularly under increased energy input. However, excessive energy led to porosity accumulation due to fiber-induced resin disturbance. In contrast, continuous fibers restricted resin flow and showed poor adaptability to melt deformation, resulting in limited fiber redistribution and slower strength improvement. At high energy levels, severe resin overflow, fiber stacking, and internal pores due to fiber-matrix debonding were observed.
