Multi Input Single Output Fuzzy Model to Predict Tensile Strength of Radial Friction Welded Gi Pipes

In this paper an effort has been made to design and demonstrate the use of fuzzy logic based model to predict the tensile strength of tubular joints of GI pipes which are welded with the technique of radial friction welding. The model is based on two inputs signals; rotational speed (RPM) and forge load. The Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) technique of fuzzy based systems for modeling and simulation of the complex systems has been employed. The performance of the model is validated by comparing the predicted results with the actual practical results obtained by conducting the confirmation experiments.
