Many high-quality forging productions require the large-sized hydraulic press machine(HPM) to have a desirable dynamic response. Since the forging process is complex under the low velocity, its response is difficult to estimate. And this often causes the desirable low-velocity forging condition difficult to obtain. So far little work has been found to estimate the dynamic response of the forging process under low velocity. In this paper, an approximate-model based estimation method is proposed to estimate the dynamic response of the forging process under low velocity. First, an approximate model is developed to represent the forging process of this complex HPM around the low-velocity working point. Under guaranteeing the modeling performance, the model may greatly ease the complexity of the subsequent estimation of the dynamic response because it has a good linear structure. On this basis, the dynamic response is estimated and the conditions for stability, vibration, and creep are derived according to the solution of the velocity. All these analytical results are further verified by both simulations and experiment. In the simulation verification for modeling, the original movement model and the derived approximate model always have the same dynamic responses with very small approximate error. The simulations and experiment finally demonstrate and test the effectiveness of the derived conditions for stability, vibration, and creep, and these conditions will benefit both the prediction of the dynamic response of the forging process and the design of the controller for the high-quality forging. The proposed method is an effective solution to achieve the desirable low-velocity forging condition.
A novel LS-SVM control method is proposed for general unknown nonlinear systems. A linear kernel LS-SVM model is firstly developed for input/output(I/O) approximation. The LS-SVM control law is then derived directly from this developed model without any approximation and assumption. It further proves that the control error is fully equal to the LS-SVM modeling error. This means that a desirable control performance can be achieved because the LS-SVM has been proven to have an outstanding modeling ability in the previous studies. Case studies finally demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed LS-SVM control approach.
