Abstract Finite element (FE) coupled thermal-mechanical analysis is widely used to predict the deformation and residual stress of wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) parts. In this study, an innovative single-layer multi-bead profile geometric modeling method through the isosceles trapezoid function is proposed to build the FE model of the WAAM process. Firstly, a straight-line model for overlapping beads based on the parabola function was established to calculate the optimal center distance. Then, the isosceles trapezoid-based profile was employed to replace the parabola profiles of the parabola-based overlapping model to establish an innovative isosceles trapezoid-based multi-bead overlapping… More >
