Fuzzy Logic-Based Approach To Investigate The Novel Uses Of Nano Suspended Lubrication In Precise Machining Of Aerospace Al Tempered Grade 6061 Feb 2015

Fuzzy Logic-Based Approach To Investigate The Novel Uses Of Nano Suspended Lubrication In Precise Machining Of Aerospace Al Tempered Grade 6061

Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya

Temper-grade aluminum alloy Al-6061-T6 is commonly used for many engineering purposes owing to its superior mechanical properties. Due to the practical importance, machining Al-6061-T6 alloy is crucial for different applications. The development of computer numerical control (CNC) of milling machines is in progress by researchers worldwide for its noteworthy advantages. The quality of machining determines the product's appearance, function and reliability. Appropriate lubrication at the machining zone improves the tribological characteristic of Al-6061-T6 alloy, leading to higher product quality. For reasons of ambiguity during machining, the soft computing technique is chosen to predict the output. In this particular research scope, …


Cutting Force-Based Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Approach For Accurate Surface Roughness Prediction In End Milling Operation For Intelligent Machining Feb 2015

Cutting Force-Based Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Approach For Accurate Surface Roughness Prediction In End Milling Operation For Intelligent Machining

Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya

End milling is one of the most common metal removal operations encountered in industrial processes. Product quality is a critical issue as it plays a vital role in how products perform and is also a factor with great influence on manufacturing cost. Surface roughness usually serves as an indicator of product quality. During cutting, surface roughness measurement is impossible as the cutting tool is engaged with the workpiece, chip and cutting fluid. However, cutting force measurement is easier and could be used as an indirect parameter to predict surface roughness. In this research work, a correlation analysis was initially performed …


Investigating The Surface Tribology Of Roller-Burnished Polymer Using The Fuzzy Rule-Based Approach Jan 2015

Investigating The Surface Tribology Of Roller-Burnished Polymer Using The Fuzzy Rule-Based Approach

Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya

Burnishing is specified as the plastic deformation cold working process applied as surface treatment and smoothing following machining to obtain a superior surface roughness finish. The present experimental study was carried out on roller-burnished polyurethane using a roller burnishing tool. An analysis was done to investigate the effect of burnishing depth, speed, feed rate, and roller width on the surface roughness of the polymer workpiece. Roughness (R-a) prediction was achieved with a fuzzy rule-based system. The results indicate 95% accuracy between the fuzzy predicted roughness values and experimental results.
