高温合金如Inconel 625在航空航天与能源系统中长期服役时,蠕变变形是影响部件可靠性的重要因素。尽管Inconel 625具有优异的抗蠕变性能,但使用ANSYS等工具进行有限元蠕变模拟仍极为耗时,单次10,000小时仿真需30至40分钟。本文提出基于深度学习的代理模型,以快速准确替代此类仿真。利用Norton定律在50~150 MPa应力和700~1000 °C温度范围内生成蠕变应变数据,在ANSYS中训练两种架构:双向LSTM变分自编码器(BiLSTM-VAE)用于不确定性感知与生成预测,以及双向LSTM-Transformer混合模型,通过自注意力机制捕捉长程时间依赖。两者均作为代理预测器,其中BiLSTM-VAE输出概率分布,而BiLSTM-Transformer具备高确定性精度。评估指标包括RMSE、MAE和R²。结果表明,BiLSTM-VAE能提供稳定可靠的蠕变预测,而BiLSTM-Transformer在全时间范围内表现优异。延迟测试显示显著加速:单次仿真从数分钟降至秒级。该框架可支持快速蠕变评估,适用于设计优化与结构健康监测,并为高温合金应用提供可扩展解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Time-dependent deformation, particularly creep, in high-temperature alloys such as Inconel 625 is a key factor in the long-term reliability of components used in aerospace and energy systems. Although Inconel 625 shows excellent creep resistance, finite-element creep simulations in tools such as ANSYS remain computationally expensive, often requiring tens of minutes for a single 10,000-hour run. This work proposes deep learning based surrogate models to provide fast and accurate replacements for such simulations. Creep strain data was generated in ANSYS using the Norton law under uniaxial stresses of 50 to 150 MPa and temperatures of 700 to 1000 $^\circ$C, and this temporal dataset was used to train two architectures: a BiLSTM Variational Autoencoder for uncertainty-aware and generative predictions, and a BiLSTM Transformer hybrid that employs self-attention to capture long-range temporal behavior. Both models act as surrogate predictors, with the BiLSTM-VAE offering probabilistic output and the BiLSTM-Transformer delivering high deterministic accuracy. Performance is evaluated using RMSE, MAE, and $R^2$. Results show that the BiLSTM-VAE provides stable and reliable creep strain forecasts, while the BiLSTM-Transformer achieves strong accuracy across the full time range. Latency tests indicate substantial speedup: while each ANSYS simulation requires 30 to 40 minutes for a given stress-temperature condition, the surrogate models produce predictions within seconds. The proposed framework enables rapid creep assessment for design optimization and structural health monitoring, and provides a scalable solution for high-temperature alloy applications.
