- 结合GRU与U-Net结构,捕捉时空动态变化
- 在冷热成形场景下误差低于5%,优于基线模型
- 适合需要快速仿真验证的制造设计人员
近年来,基于人工智能的代理模型被用于快速预测材料成形的可制造性。然而,传统基于标量或图像的神经网络难以捕捉复杂的三维空间关系,且不具备置换不变性。为此,本文提出一种新型图神经网络代理模型——循环U-Net图神经网络(RUGNN)。该模型利用门控循环单元(GRUs)建模时间动态,并采用受U-Net启发的图采样/上采样机制处理长程空间依赖。同时,提出创新的'节点到表面'接触表示方法,显著提升大规模接触交互的计算效率。在铝合金冷成形和更复杂的热成形案例中进行验证,结果表明RUGNN的变形预测精度接近真实有限元模拟,优于多个基线GNN架构。通过超参数调优、训练策略优化及输入特征分析,证明RUGNN是支持钣金成形设计的可靠方法,可实现高精度可制造性预测。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In recent years, various artificial intelligence-based surrogate models have been proposed to provide rapid manufacturability predictions of material forming processes. However, traditional AI-based surrogate models, typically built with scalar or image-based neural networks, are limited in their ability to capture complex 3D spatial relationships and to operate in a permutation-invariant manner. To overcome these issues, emerging graph-based surrogate models are developed using graph neural networks. This study developed a new graph neural network surrogate model named Recurrent U Net-based Graph Neural Network (RUGNN). The RUGNN model can achieve accurate predictions of sheet material deformation fields across multiple forming timesteps. The RUGNN model incorporates Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) to model temporal dynamics and a U-Net inspired graph-based downsample/upsample mechanism to handle spatial long-range dependencies. A novel 'node-to-surface' contact representation method was proposed, offering significant improvements in computational efficiency for large-scale contact interactions. The RUGNN model was validated using a cold forming case study and a more complex hot forming case study using aluminium alloys. Results demonstrate that the RUGNN model provides accurate deformation predictions closely matching ground truth FE simulations and outperforming several baseline GNN architectures. Model tuning was also performed to identify suitable hyperparameters, training strategies, and input feature representations. These results demonstrate that RUGNN is a reliable approach to support sheet material forming design by enabling accurate manufacturability predictions.
