Abstract
Springback is a critical factor that significantly influences the quality of roll forming. Accurate prediction and control of springback are crucial for the design of process parameters. This paper proposes a technique based on Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Bat Algorithm (BA) to reduce springback. Firstly, based on roll forming experiments, the SVR model optimized by algorithm based on the Simulated Annealing Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (SAPSO) is used to predict springback and investigate the influence of forming parameters. The considered forming parameters include the mechanical properties of material (e.g. yield strength, Young’s modulus), geometries of metal sheet (e.g. sheet width), and process parameters, such as uphill value, roll gap. Then, using the Bat Algorithm based on Lévy flight disturbance, the process parameters are optimized with the predicted springback as the fitness function. The experimental results show that the springback in roll forming has been reduced by 94.47% after optimizing the process parameters. Therefore, the feasibility of the proposed springback control method is confirmed.
期刊介绍:
The Journal publishes and disseminates original research in the field of material forming. The research should constitute major achievements in the understanding, modeling or simulation of material forming processes. In this respect ‘forming’ implies a deliberate deformation of material.
The journal establishes a platform of communication between engineers and scientists, covering all forming processes, including sheet forming, bulk forming, powder forming, forming in near-melt conditions (injection moulding, thixoforming, film blowing etc.), micro-forming, hydro-forming, thermo-forming, incremental forming etc. Other manufacturing technologies like machining and cutting can be included if the focus of the work is on plastic deformations.
All materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, glass, wood, fibre reinforced materials, materials in food processing, biomaterials, nano-materials, shape memory alloys etc.) and approaches (micro-macro modelling, thermo-mechanical modelling, numerical simulation including new and advanced numerical strategies, experimental analysis, inverse analysis, model identification, optimization, design and control of forming tools and machines, wear and friction, mechanical behavior and formability of materials etc.) are concerned.
