Multiple Regression and Neural Network Based Characterization of Friction in Sheet Metal Forming

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article proposes a frictional resistance description approach in sheet metal forming and the objective is to characterize the friction coefficient value under a wide range of friction conditions without performing time-consuming experiments. To describe the friction condition in sheet metal forming simulations, the friction coefficient should be quantified using friction models. Realistic friction models must account for the influence of surface roughness and surface topography on the lubricant flow and dry friction conditions. Due to considerable amount of factors that affect the friction coefficient value, building the analytical friction model for specified process conditions is too demanding. Thus, mathematical models that describe the friction behaviour using multiple regression analysis (MRA) and artificial neural networks (ANN) are utilized. The regression analysis was performed using the user subroutine in the MATLAB, while the ANN model was built in STATISTICA Neural Networks. As input variables for regression model and training of multilayer perceptron (MLP) the results of strip drawing friction test were utilized.
