Abstract

The current work involves both modeling and optimization approaches to achieve minimum spring-back in V-die bending process of heat treated CK67 sheets. Number of 36 experimental tests have been conducted with various levels of sheet orientation, punch tip radius and sheet thickness. Firstly, various predictive models based on statistical analysis, back-propagation neural network (BPNN), counter propagation neural network (CPNN) and radial basis function network (RBFNN) have been developed using experimental observations. Then the accuracy of the developed models has been compared based on values of mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean square error (RMSE). Secondly, the model with lowest values of MAE, and RMSE has been applied as objective function for optimization of process using imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA). After selection of optimal bending parameters, a confirmation test has been conducted to prove the optimal solutions. Results indicated that the radial basis network fulfills precise prediction of process rather than the other developed models. Also, confirmation tests proved that both RBFNN and ICA could predict and optimize the process vigorously.
