These processes generally exhibit complex size effects, making the behavior of materials highly dependent on their geometric dimensions. As a result, accurate understanding and modeling of such effects are crucial for optimizing manufacturing outcomes and achieving high-performance final products. To this end, advanced gradient-enhanced plasticity theories have emerged as powerful tools for capturing these complex phenomena, offering a level of accuracy significantly greater than that provided by classical plasticity approaches. However, these advanced theories often require the identification of a large number of material parameters, which poses a significant challenge due to limited experimental data at small scales and high computation costs. The present paper aims at evaluating and comparing the effectiveness of various optimization techniques, including evolutionary algorithm, response surface methodology and Bayesian optimization, in identifying the material parameter of a recent flexible gradient-enhanced plasticity model developed by the authors.

The achievement of associated increases in robustness and reliability is linked to enormous requirements, which in particular include the inline recording of the product properties to be controlled and the subsequent adaptation of the process control through the targeted derivation of manipulated variables. The present paper uses the example of an air bending process to show how the bending angle can be controlled camera-based and how springback can be compensated within a stroke by recording force signals and subsequently predicting the loaded bending angle using machine learning algorithms. The results show that the combined application of camera-based control and machine learning assisted springback compensation leads to highly accurate bending angles, whereby the results strongly depend on the machine learning algorithms and associated data transformation processes used.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":591,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Material Forming","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12289-023-01802-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138578053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
