Abstract
One of the greatest challenges of manufacturing sheet metal parts is to obtain consistent part dimensions. Springback, the elastic material recovery when the tooling is removed, is the major cause of variations and inconsistencies in the final part geometry. Obtaining a consistent and desirable amount of springback is extremely difficult due to the nonlinear effects and interactions between process and material parameters. In this paper, the exceptional ability of a neural network along with a stepped binder force trajectory to control springback angle and maximum principal strain in a simulated channel forming process is demonstrated. When faced with even large variations in material properties, sheet thickness, and friction condition, our control system produces a robust final part shape. [S0094-4289(00)01801-6]
