Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop a framework of modelling the complex grinding processes and finding optimal process conditions to meet the general class of process requirements. In order to achieve the above goal, novel modelling schemes and optimization methods based on evolutionary algorithms (EA) are developed. The optimization problem of grinding processes can be formulated as a constrained non-linear programming problem with mixed-discrete variables. The adaptive least-squares (ALS) algorithm proposed by Lee and Shin's 1998 study is extended for modelling multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) complex grinding processes using fuzzy basis function networks (FBFN), while the modified evolution strategies (ES) is proposed for successful optimization of grinding processes. Two grinding optimization problems demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed scheme.
