--- res: bibo_abstract: - 'AbstractHeated tool butt welding is a method often used for joining thermoplastics, especially when the components are made out of different materials. The quality of the connection between the components crucially depends on a suitable choice of the parameters of the welding process, such as heating time, temperature, and the precise way how the parts are then welded. Moreover, when different materials are to be joined, the parameter values need to be tailored to the specifics of the respective material. To this end, in this paper, three approaches to tailor the parameter values to optimize the quality of the connection are compared: a heuristic by Potente, statistical experimental design, and Bayesian optimization. With the suitability for practice in mind, a series of experiments are carried out with these approaches, and their capabilities of proposing well-performing parameter values are investigated. As a result, Bayesian optimization is found to yield peak performance, but the costs for optimization are substantial. In contrast, the Potente heuristic does not require any experimentation and recommends parameter values with competitive quality.@eng' bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Karina foaf_name: Gevers, Karina foaf_surname: Gevers foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=83151 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Alexander foaf_name: Tornede, Alexander foaf_surname: Tornede foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=38209 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Marcel Dominik foaf_name: Wever, Marcel Dominik foaf_surname: Wever foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=33176 orcid: ' https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9782-6818' - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Volker foaf_name: Schöppner, Volker foaf_surname: Schöppner foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=20530 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Eyke foaf_name: Hüllermeier, Eyke foaf_surname: Hüllermeier foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=48129 bibo_doi: 10.1007/s40194-022-01339-9 dct_date: 2022^xs_gYear dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/0043-2288 - http://id.crossref.org/issn/1878-6669 dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC@ dct_subject: - Metals and Alloys - Mechanical Engineering - Mechanics of Materials dct_title: A comparison of heuristic, statistical, and machine learning methods for heated tool butt welding of two different materials@ ...
