ABSTRACT

Machining process is defined as a process of material removal from a work

piece in the form of chips. This process has improved significantly over the years to

meet the field requirements. However, a major issue in the process is how to obtain

accurate results of the machining performance measurement value at optimal point of

cutting conditions. Machining performance for surface roughness has been widely

discussed by researchers but determining the optimal solution for surface roughness

remains as one of the most challenging problem due to the complexity of the

modeling process. Thus, this research proposed a hybrid model combining Grey

Relational Analysis (GRA) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) to predict surface

roughness values for end milling and abrasive water jet (AWJ) machining processes.

In the proposed hybrid Grey Relational-Support Vector Machine (GR-SVM)

prediction model, GRA acts as a feature selection method in pre-processing process

to eliminate irrelevant factors and SVM solves the regression functions in machining

problems to determine the surface roughness value. Efficiency of the proposed

prediction model was demonstrated by comparing the results of the hybrid model

with the experimental data and results of conventional SVM prediction model based

on correlation and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values. The results showed that

the hybrid GR-SVM prediction model presented the most accurate results due to its

ability to remove redundant features and irrelevant elements from the experimental

datasets. These results have shown that the optimal solution of machining

performance can be achieved by using the proposed hybrid GR-SVM prediction

model.

ABSTRAK

Process pemesinan ditakrifkan sebagai satu proses pembuangan bahan

daripada bahan kerja dalam bentuk cip. Proses ini telah berkembang dengan pesat

sejak beberapa tahun untuk memenuhi bidang keperluan. Walau bagaimanapun isu

utama dalam proses ini ialah kaedah untuk mendapatkan keputusan yang tepat bagi

nilai pengukuran prestasi pemesinan pada titik optimum syarat pemotongan. Prestasi

pemesinan untuk kekasaran permukaan telah dibincangkan dengan meluas oleh para

penyelidik tetapi menentukan penyelesaian optimum untuk kekasaran permukaan

kekal sebagai salah satu masalah yang paling mencabar kerana kerumitan proses

model. Oleh itu kajian ini mencadangkan satu model hibrid yang menggabungkan

Analisis Hubungan Grey (GRA) dengan Sokongan Mesin Vektor (SVM) untuk

meramalkan nilai kekasaran permukaan bagi proses pemesinan pengisaran hujung

dan pelelas jet air (AWJ). Dalam model ramalan hibrid Hubungan Grey-Sokongan

Mesin Vektor (GR-SVM), GRA bertindak sebagai kaedah pemilihan ciri dalam

proses pra-pemprosesan untuk menghapuskan faktor-faktor tidak relevan sementara

SVM pula menyelesaikan fungsi regresi dalam masalah pemesinan untuk

menentukan nilai kekasaran permukaan. Kecekapan model ramalan yang

dicadangkan ditunjukkan dengan membandingkan keputusan model hibrid dengan

data eksperimen dan keputusan model ramalan SVM konvensional berdasarkan nilai-

nilai korelasi dan punca kuasa ralat kuasa dua (RMSE). Hasil kajian menunjukkan

bahawa model ramalan hibrid GR-SVM memberikan keputusan yang paling tepat

kerana kemampuannya untuk menghapuskan ciri-ciri berlebihan dan unsur-unsur

yang tidak relevan daripada set data eksperimen. Keputusan ini menunjukkan

bahawa penyelesaian prestasi pemesinan yang optimum dapat dicapai dengan

menggunakan cadangan model ramalan hibrid GR-SVM.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

This chapter discusses the brief overview about the research conducted in this

study. The topic includes background of the study, problem statement, objectives and

scopes of the study. Research significant and contributions of the study are also

discussed in this chapter.

1.1 Background of the study

As the demands of consumer economy grows rapidly, machining recently be

the most important and widely used in manufacturing process instead of forming,

molding, and casting processes. Generally, machining can be defined as a process of

material removal from a workpiece in the form of chips. In the recent years,

machining technology has been improved significantly to meet the requirements in

different fields. Basically, there are two types of machining process, namely

conventional machining and modern machining (Zain et al., 2011a). Conventional

machining consists of traditional process work piece removal in the form of chips

such as turning, milling, grinding and boring while modern machining comes in

terms of chemical items or advanced technologies such as abrasive water jet (AWJ),

2

electrochemical machining (ECM), electric beam machining (EBM) and

photochemical machining (PCM).

The need of modern machining or unconventional machining was firstly

emphasized by Merchant in 1960 for the development of newer concepts in

machining process (Panday and Shan, 1980). Due to the new advent technologies

that thrive nowadays, the machining process continuously evolve from time to time

as researcher have found and developed many new techniques and modern tool of

machining. There are two fields that have been interest for researches in machining,

which are modeling and optimization. According to Zain et al. (2011a), modeling in

machining refers to the process of estimating the potential minimum or maximum

value of machining performance while optimization refers to the process of

estimating optimal solution of cutting condition that leads to the minimum or

maximum machining value of machining performances. Various techniques were

considered and carried out to model and optimize the machining performances. This

study only focuses on modeling of machining performance. The primary purpose of

the machining modeling is to estimate the minimum values (such as surface

roughness, operation time, operation cost etc.) or maximum values (such as material

removal rate, tool wear etc.) of machining performance measurements.

It has been recognized that cutting force, power, torque, surface roughness,

tool-wear, chip form, chip breakability, tool-life, surface integrity and part accuracy

are the most common machining performances that evaluated by major measure

(Jawahir et al., 2003). According to Yusup et al. (2012), surface roughness is the

most machining performance that has been considered by the researchers for the past

five years (2007-2011), due to the facts that surface roughness affects several

functional attributes of the machining process (Wang, 2009). Practically, surface

roughness plays an important role in wear resistance, tensile, ductility, and fatigue

strength for machine parts (Wang and Chang, 2004). According to Caydas and

Hascalik (2008), surface roughness is a technological quality measurement of a

product and a factor that considerably affects the manufacturing cost. Consequently,

modeling of surface roughness, which is the process of predicting the minimum

3

value of surface roughness, is a crucial part in machining process in order to meet the

field requirements.

Due to the uncertainty and complexity in modeling of surface roughness in

machining process, computational approaches are being preferred apply by the

researchers (Jawahir et al., 2003). Computational approaches have become a most

potential research area and received a great deal of attention to the researchers to

develop a model for giving an improved value of surface roughness measurement. It

became exaggerate from time to time since it gave a best result to the researchers.

According to Zain et al., (2011a), single-based computational approaches were

managed to estimate the optimal process parameters, leading to the minimum value

of surface roughness. Computational approaches include fuzzy logic (FL), artificial

neural network (ANN), genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO),

ant colony optimization (ACO), simulated annealing (SA), Artificial Intelligent

System (AIS), Grey Relational Analysis (GRA), and support vector machine (SVM).

Moreover, the evolutionary of modern technology has lead to the new approaches in

modeling of machining performances.

The evolutionary of computational approach has become an important

problem solving methodology among researchers to improve the machining

performances (Grosan and Abraham, 2007). This approach includes the hybridization

process of single-based computational approach in order to get better performance in

machining modeling. This study considers the hybridization of SVM and GRA, in

estimating a better result for prediction of surface roughness value. Based on the

literature, an attempt of hybridization of SVM and GRA has been made in predicting

consumption of spare parts (Huang et al., 2010) and also agriculture field (Shi,

2012). For the predicting of spare parts consumption, the influencing factors were

selected by grey relational analysis and SVM regression was used as the prediction

model of the spare parts consumption for the military aircrafts and for agriculture

field, the production of China grain was predicted using the hybridization of SVM

and GRA. Both prediction results show that the hybrid SVM and GRA gave high

prediction performance with a small number of prediction errors.

4

However, there is still no attempt of hybridization SVM and GRA in

machining area. Thus, this study, which is modeling of surface roughness, is

considered as a new contribution to the machining field.

1.2 Problem Statement

The success of machining process depends on the proper selection of cutting

condition based on cost and quality factors. The major issue in machining process is

how to obtain accurate result of machining performances, such as surface roughness

values using various machining factors of cutting operations. Furthermore, the need

for estimating the best machining performances with the most suitable cutting tools

has been felt over the last few decades. These machining performances should be

selected to optimize the economics of machining operations. For instance, selection

of cutting condition of surface roughness in machining process still remains as one of

the most challenging problems due to the complexity of the process. Traditionally,

the selection of cutting condition in machining process is left to the machine

operator. However, this process mostly depends on the machinist expertise and also

gives a high cost. Moreover, in machining process, the cutting process was done

continuously in order to get the target value despite the material can be used only

once. So, this process will give highly cost with a lot of the wasted material used. In

such cases, machinist experience plays a major rule but sometimes it is difficult to

maintain the optimum values for each experiment (Aggawal and Singh, 2005).

With the help of computational approaches in predicting machining

performances, there is no machinist expertise will be used and the machining cost

can be reduced. Hence, this study promotes the use of SVM computational approach

in estimating surface roughness value of machining process. SVM becomes a new

trend in recent research especially in modeling of machining performances, which is

a relatively new computational learning method constructed based on the statistical

learning theory classifier (Chiu and Guao, 2008). SVM has widely been used in

modeling of various fields such as financial (Tay and Coa, 2001; Pai and Lin, 2005;

5

Min et al., 2006), health (Furey et al., 2000; Cai et al., 2001; Akay, 2009), and

agriculture. Based on the structural risk minimization (SRM) principal, SVM can get

decision-making rules and achieve small error for independent tests set and hence

can solve the learning problems efficiently (Samantha et al., 2003).

However, in some cases, the data in machining model may contain

irrelevance and redundant feature that is used as input features in development of

SVM model. This kind of data not only increased the training time, but it may lead to

the overfitting problem that reduces the prediction performance. This irrelevance and

redundant data also need to be eliminated from the input features in order to get a

better prediction model. Conventional SVM approach does not have the ability to

recognize this irrelevant element. So, there is a need of the model that is able to

remove the unwanted data in order to improve the model performance. As a result,

this research promotes the hybridization approach, hybrid GR-SVM, to estimate the

minimum values of surface roughness so that the machining target can be achieved.

GR-SVM is a hybridization model of SVM computational approach and also GRA

approach. GRA is basically an analysis technique that has been proposed in Grey

System Theory by Professor Deng Julong (Xuerui and Yuguang, 2004). GRA acts as

feature selection approach which is able to selects a subset of relevant features, and

also removes redundant and irrelevant features from the data to build robust learning

models.

In relation to the machining problem discussed above, three research question

of this study are:

i. How to predict potential values of the machining performances for giving a

possible value of minimum surface roughness?

ii. How to modify the existing single-based computational approach model in

order to give better results of surface roughness?

iii. How to identify the effectiveness of proposed hybridization model?

6

1.3 Aim of the research

The aim of the research is to identify the minimum value of surface

roughness in end milling and AWJ machining processes using the proposed hybrid

GR-SVM model.

1.4 Objectives of the research

The objectives of this study are:

i. To develop conventional SVM model in predicting the minimum value of

surface roughness.

ii. To develop a new hybridization GR-SVM model for predicting minimum

surface roughness value.

iii. To evaluate and validate the performance of the proposed hybrid model in

predicting minimum surface roughness value.

1.5 Scope of the research

The scopes of the study are:

i. Two machining process, end-milling (conventional machining) and

AWJ (modern machining) are considered.

ii. The machining performance considered for both end-milling and

AWJ is surface roughness (Ra).

iii. Process parameters of end-milling are cutting speed (v), feed rate (f),

and radial rake angle ( ).

7

iv. Process parameters of AWJ are traverse speed (V), waterjet pressure

(P), standoff distance (h), abrasive grit size (d), and abrasive flow rate

(m).

v. Experimental data of end-milling conducted by Mohruni (2008).

vi. Experimental data of AWJ conducted by Caydas and Hascalik (2008).

1.6 Research significant

This study is to develop and analyze the performance of proposed GR-SVM

model, which is a hybridization of SVM and GRA approach in prediction of

machining surface roughness value. In order to indicate the effectiveness of the

proposed model, the final results are compared with the conventional SVM

prediction model. With the development of proposed hybrid GR-SVM model, there

is no expertise or machinist will be used in order to find the minimum surface

roughness value hence the cost of the machining process can be reduced.

1.7 Contributions of the study

The contributions of this study can be divided into two parts, they are:

i. Improvement of conventional SVM model. The proposed hybrid GR-

SVM model has potential to estimate the influential factors of process

parameters to the surface roughness value. The influential factors of

process parameters are ranked based on Grey Relational Grade (GRG)

value obtained. Process parameter with the high GRG value is

considered to give a high effect to surface roughness value.

ii. Better quality of machined-work piece. The proposed hybrid model is

expected to improve the prediction accuracy that leads to much

minimum value of surface roughness.
