Numerical Comparison of Three Different Feedback Control Schemes Applied on a Forming Operation

Abstract:

Feedback and process control of metalforming processes has received increasing attention the lastdecade. Basically there exist four control philosophies; control ofprocess parameters during the punch stroke, iterative learning control(based on historical data), a combination iterative learning andfeedback control and finally feed-forward control. The present work willpresent three different control schemes which all are based onfeedback philosophy i.e. control during the punch stroke or iterativelearning control, where process parameters are updated according toprocess history. The three control schemes are tested using a non-linear finite element model of a square deep-drawing and finallypros and cons are discussed based on the numerical results.
