Using Genetic Algorithms with Multi-Objective Optimization to Adjust Finite Element Models of Welded Joints

To ensure realistic results when modeling welded joints using the finite element method (FEM), it is essential to appropriately characterize the thermo-mechanical behavior of the elastic-plastic Finite Element (FE) models. This task is complex. Any small differences between the actual welded joints...
