Fuzzy Rules for Surface Roughness of Ground Steels

Abstract:

This paper presents a comprehensive model for predicting surface roughness due to grinding. Fuzzy rules are provided, to estimate roughness for any practical combination of (1) wheel hardness grade, (2) abrasive grain size, (3) dressing condition, (4) table speed, (5) wheel depth of cut, and (6) coolant application. The rule-base can be adapted to account for the effect of (7) different workpiece material hardness, (8) wheel rotational speed, and (9) equivalent wheel diameter. The 86 rules are intuitive, and are particularly useful for production and/or embedded control applications.
