Abstract:Welded joints are characterized by non-uniform microstructure, gradient transitions in mechanical properties, and randomly distributed welding defects, which are more prone to fatigue fracture than other structures. Therefore, studying the strength and life of welded joints (especially under fatigue loading) has become a hot research topic in engineering and academia. A new study of a fatigue life prediction model for welded joints based on a random forest model was carried out to study the fatigue behavior of welded joints. To select a machine learning model with better prediction performance, the fatigue data set of welded joints was analyzed and predicted using two different machine learning algorithm models, the Random Forest Model, and LightGBM. The random forest algorithm was used to rank the importance of the input conditions to analyze the factors influencing the fatigue life of welded joints; The fatigue life results of the model were calculated with different materials to verify the generalization ability of the machine learning model. The results show that the machine learning model performs well in predicting the fatigue life of welded joints with different geometries and can be used to predict the fatigue life of welded joints with different materials. The results are of great importance for the strength design of welded structures and the optimization of welding process parameters.
