Ensembled local mean decomposition and genetic algorithm approach to investigate tool chatter features at higher metal removal rate

Abstract

Improper selection of cutting parameters leads to regenerative chatter and loss in productivity. In the present work, a methodology has been proposed to select a proper combination of input cutting parameters for stable turning with improved metal removal rate. Chatter signals generated during the turning of Al6061-T6 have been acquired using a microphone. Stability lobes diagram has been plotted to access the stability regime. Further, to study the effect of feed rate on stability, the recorded signals have been processed using local mean decomposition signal processing technique, followed by the selection of dominating product functions using Fourier transform. The decomposed signals have been used to evaluate the new output parameter, that is, chatter index. Prediction models of chatter index and metal removal rate have been developed. Moreover, these prediction models have been optimized using multi-objective genetic algorithm for ascertaining the optimal range of cutting parameters for stable turning with higher metal removal rate. Finally, obtained stable range has been validated by performing more experiments.

Research on Multi-Objective Process Parameter Optimization Method in Hard Turning Based on an Improved NSGA-II Algorithm

“…The absolute residuals between the forecasted and actual experimental surface roughness values are confined within the range of (0, 0.3), suggesting a commendably low error margin of under 10%. One of the crucial indicators for assessing cutting efficiency is the MRR (material removal rate) [37], which represents the volume of material removed per unit of time. The optimization objectives involve reducing production cycles and minimizing costs.…”

“…Therefore, to enhance the material removal rate, cutting speed, feed rate, and cutting depth should be increased to the maximum extent possible. The formula for the material removal rate is presented in Equation ( 12): One of the crucial indicators for assessing cutting efficiency is the MRR (material removal rate) [37], which represents the volume of material removed per unit of time.…”

Acoustic Features Extraction of Non-Electronic Disguised Voice for Speaker Identification

“…This challenge is often referred to as the open-set problem because it involves separating a speaker's voice that is known to the system from a potentially large collection of noises that are unknown to the system. The majority of speaker recognition apps today rely heavily on verification 17,26,27,28) .…”

Semisolid heat treatment processing window of Pb-40% Sn alloy for feedstock in the 3D printing thixo-forming process

“…In contrast to subtractive manufacturing processes such as machining [1][2][3] where the removal of the materials is required, the additive manufacturing (AM) process involves making an object from 3D model data by adding material layer by layer [4] to generate the final product shape. Several types of additive manufacturing technologies have been introduced over recent years.…”
