The objective of this work is to integrate
manufacturing considerations of arc welding processes in
the early stages of welded structures design. This is
accomplished through the development of a framework that
allows design engineers to investigate the appropriate
trade-offs between deposition rates, operator factors,
deposition efficiency, welding position, accessibility,
weldability, and joint design at an early stage in the
design. The impact of different decision making alternatives made early in the product life cycle are supported by
expected costs. The system details are demonstrated with the major welding processes and hull non-nuclear steels used in construction of surface combatant ships in the United States Navy. / Master of Science
