Neuronal Network
The following picture shows the Neuronal Network Algorithm used for SCF calculation.
The neuronal network consists of four different layers. Each layor conveys a matrix and a weightening function.
For this neuronal network the tanh is used as weightening function. The entire algorithm is shown in the picture below.
Polynomial Regression Function
The following picture shows the Polynomial Regression Functions used for SCF calculation.
The regression coefficients stored in the table depend on the load case and the geometry.
The table provides the coefficients for the SCF at the weld toe.
