TSK fuzzy modeling for tool wear condition in turning processes: An experimental study

This paper presents an experimental study for turning process in machining by using Takagi–Sugeno– Kang (TSK) fuzzy modeling to accomplish the integration of multi-sensor information and tool wear information. It generates fuzzy rules directly from the input–output data acquired from sensors, and provides high accuracy and high reliability of the tool wear prediction over a wide range of cutting conditions. The experimental results show its effectiveness and satisfactory comparisons relative to other artificial intelligence methods. & 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
