With the complex structure of the carcass layer, an equivalent simplified model is used to study the mechanical properties of the carcass layer. However, the current equivalent carcass model only considers the elastic deformation, and this simplification leads to huge errors in the calculation results. In this study, radial compression experiments were carried out to make the carcasses to undergo plastic deformation. Subsequently, a residual neural network based on the experimental data was established to predict the load-displacement curves of carcasses with different inner diameter in plastic states under radial compression.The established neural network model’s high precision was verified by experimental data, and the influence of the number of input variables on the accuracy of the neural network was discussed. The conclusion shows that the residual neural network model established based on the experimental data of the small-diameter carcass layer can predict the load-displacement curve of the large-diameter carcass layer in the plastic stage. With the decrease of input data, the prediction accuracy of residual network model in plasticity stage will decrease.展开更多

Experimental results indicated that phenomena of decreasing forming force, increasing scatter of forming force and more irregular surface topography occurred with the increase of grain size. A modified surface model based on dislocations pile-up in surface layer grains, and a flow stress scattering formulation based on standard deviation and grain size distribution were proposed to analyze size effects on forming force in micro compression. The inhomogeneous deformation of surface layer grains was discussed by the main deformation manner of rotation. A good agreement with the experimental results was achieved.展开更多
