However, the mechanism of the influence of ultrasonic vibration on the temperature and flow fields of the welding pool is still not clear, which also limits further application prospects of this technology. The present study established a three-dimensional molten pool model for ultrasonic vibration-assisted gas tungsten arc (UV-GTA) welding of low-alloy high-strength steel, considering free deformation of the molten pool surface and different ultrasonic vibration amplitudes. The temperature field evolution and the molten pool flow behavior under various ultrasonic vibration amplitudes were systematically analyzed. Compared with GTA welding, the ultrasonic vibration in UV-GTA welding enhanced uniformity of the temperature distribution in molten pool. Moreover, the larger the ultrasonic amplitude in UV-GTA welding, the smaller the depth of the molten pool and the time required for the molten pool to reach a quasi-steady state, but the larger the maximum flow rate at the surface as well as at the center of the molten pool. At an ultrasonic vibration amplitude of 40 µm, the molten pool depth in UV-GTA welding decreased by 34.8 % compared with GTA molten pool depth. The time for this UV-GTA molten pool to reach a quasi-steady state was just 0.57 s, and the maximum velocity at its center increased by 88.1 % over that of the GTA molten pool. Comparative analysis of the UV-GTA molten pool and the GTA molten pool revealed a shorter circulating flow field on the upper surface and periodic variations in the internal flow field motion. The simulation outcomes closely align with the experimental findings, confirming both the validity of the model and the accuracy of the pertinent conclusions.

The need for machining has grown exponentially with increasing demands for quality and accuracy, and despite of more than a century of research in the field, there are no reliable and accurate models that describe all the physical phenomena needed to optimize the machining processes. The scientific community has begun to explore hybrid methods instead of expanding the capabilities of individual modelling schemes, which has been more efficient than efficacious direction. Following this trend, we propose a hybrid finite element — machine learning method (FEML) for modelling metal cutting. The advantages of the FEML method are reduced need for experimental data, reduced computational time and improved prediction accuracy.

The machining experiments include forces, chip morphology and surface roughness. The experimental data was divided into training dataset and validation dataset to confirm the model predictions outside the experimental data range.

The model was validated by collecting substrate temperature variations using thermocouples and measuring residual stress with an X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Experimental results showed that the temperature error between the simulation and the experiment ranged from 6.25 % to 10.12 %, with an average stress simulation error of 6.92 %. Among the four strategies, the samples using the VLP strategy showed a reduction in the average substrate temperature by 12.68 % to 15.08 % compared to the other three strategies. The maximum principal stress in the layer was reduced by 7.8 % to 32.14 %, and the residual stress distribution was more uniform in all directions.

Firstly, a novel method for accurately determining the curvature parameters of pinion tooth surfaces, based on predefined contact parameters, has been developed using ease-off topology. Then, based on the pinion gear cutting pitch cone model, a coupled tooth line vector transformation model is proposed to calculate the principal curvature parameters of the nodes. Additionally, a set of equations for the pinion tooth surface contact control parameters is derived, and a formula for calculating the pinion gear cutting adjustment parameters is provided. Finally, two sets of pinion tooth surface contact control parameters were obtained using DTS-PCM: the calculated tooth contact analysis(TCA) and ease-of-topology results. The findings demonstrate that the proposed method is largely consistent with the outcomes of the GEMS calculations, thereby validating the accuracy of DTS-PCM.
