Abstract

In recent years, Finite element (FE) analysis of manufacturing using not only metal forming but also other forming processes has contributed to the improvement of these manufacturing techniques and increased knowledge regarding the deformation mechanisms that occur during forming. An analysis of spin form-ing using FE simulation was performed by authors. Moreover, a fuzzy algorithm to optimize spin forming was developed to decrease the processing time and the number of processing paths. The algorithm was validated as the processing time was shortened by around 15% less than in the case of the process without control. Furthermore, the forming velocity was increased by using the fuzzy control during the process. In this study, the fuzzy intelligent method for expanding the geometry of the blank in spin forming was investigated using the finite element method. It is shown that the flexibility of the fuzzy intelligent method investigated improves several experimental conditions and reduces the duration of the process.
