Abstract
One of the technical lock of this study is high calculation times needed for this large component which implies to set up a simplified welding simulation method. The study is composed of three main phases: an experimental-numerical study of a T-joint fillet mock-up GTAW used to develop the preliminary welding procedure and to validate a simplified simulation method, a numerical optimization of the v-SP to box welding sequence via the simplified method, and the experimental application of the optimized v-SP to Box welding sequence on the TBM mock-up. The calculation and comparison of four different v-SP to box welding sequences allowed to identify the best sequence regarding welding distortions and to apply it experimentally.
