Dynamic characteristic analysis of whole machine tools based on Kriging model

Abstract

In order to study the variation of machine tools’ dynamic characteristics in the manufacturing space, a Kriging approximate model is proposed. Finite element method (FEM) is employed on the platform of ANSYS to establish finite element (FE) model with the dynamic characteristic of combined interface for a milling machine, which is newly designed for producing aero engine blades by a certain enterprise group in China. The stiffness and damping of combined interfaces are adjusted by using adaptive simulated annealing algorithm with the optimizing software of iSIGHT in the process of FE model update according to experimental modal analysis (EMA) results. The Kriging approximate model is established according to the finite element analysis results utilizing orthogonal design samples by taking into account of the range of configuration parameters. On the basis of the Kriging approximate model, the response surfaces between key response parameter and configuration parameters are obtained. The results indicate that configuration parameters have great effects on dynamic characteristics of machine tools, and the Kriging approximate model is an effective and rapid method for estimating dynamic characteristics of machine tools in the manufacturing space.
