Abstract
This paper presents an application of type‐2 fuzzy logic on acoustic emission (AE) signal modeling in precision manufacturing. Type‐2 fuzzy modeling is used to identify the AE signal in precision machining. It provides a simple way to arrive at a definite conclusion without understanding the exact physics of the machining process. Moreover, the interval set of the output from the type‐2 fuzzy approach assesses the information about the uncertainty in the AE signal, which can be of great value for investigation of tool wear conditions. Experiments show that the development of the AE signal uncertainty trend corresponds to that of the tool wear. Information from the AE uncertainty scheme can be used to make decisions or investigate the tool condition so as to enhance the reliability of tool wear.
Highlights
Related to advances in machine tools, manufacturing systems and material technology, machining practice is changing from conventional machining to precision machining, even high-precision machining
Artificial intelligence methods have played an important role in modern tool condition monitoring (TCM) to observe the relation between tool wear and acoustic emission (AE) signal such as neural networks [15, 16], fuzzy logic [17], and fuzzy neural network [18,19,20,21,22]
The aim of this paper is to present an innovative type-2 Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy modeling to capture the uncertainties in the AE signal in machining process in order to overcome the challenges in TCM
Summary
Related to advances in machine tools, manufacturing systems and material technology, machining practice is changing from conventional machining to precision machining, even high-precision machining. Because the information obtained during the machining process is vague, incomplete or imprecise, these conventional methods need a large number of cutting experiments and additional assumptions in many circumstances for effective uncertainty handling. These requirements reduce the reliability of the models and increase money and time consumption. The aim of this paper is to present an innovative type-2 Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy modeling to capture the uncertainties in the AE signal in machining process in order to overcome the challenges in TCM.
