| Abstract |
This paper deals with the quality prediction of the Single Point Incremental forming (SPIF) process. The quality prediction can be evaluated through five parameters: Roughness surface, thickness, springback, circularity and position errors. Despite the contribution of many researchers on the development of sheet metal forming process, the geometric accuracy of the formed part remains less developed and analyzed. Several parameters are relevant to this inaccuracy namely the complexity of the part geometry, the Elasto-Plastic Material Behavior and tool path strategy. The present work proposes an experimental study for a complex geometry part (double truncated cone) obtained by SPIF. To product a truncated cone, two different trajectories were used: single and alternating directions. While in literature three quality parameters are generally used (roughness surface, thickness and springback) we propose in the paper to predict moreover two other quality parameters which are the circularity and the position errors. To deal with the nonlinearity of the problem we proposed to use an ANN and benefit of its generalization capacities to generate new and unpredictable situations through different input parameters: Strategy tool path, incremental step size, spindle speed, feed rate, and the forming angle. To improve the generalization accuracy of the neural network the modified back propagation algorithm was used in the learning phase of one hidden multilayer neural network. Experimental results show that the new proposed prediction model allows to reach an accurate prediction more than 96.74% with respect to all the quality parameters. |
