A Study on the Application of Synchronized Chaotic Systems of Different Fractional Orders for Cutting Tool Wear Diagnosis and Identification

Abstract

Machining refers to a variety of processes, in which a cutting tool is used to remove the unwanted material from a workpiece. Tool wear, advertently or inadvertently, occurs after long-time use. It is crucial to monitor the tool wear so that the cutting tool can deliver the best performance and meet the technological challenges nowadays. In this paper, through different fractional-order chaotic systems, i.e., Chen-Lee, Lorenz, and Sprott, extension theory is proposed to predict the tool life. The results of the three chaotic systems are compared. The centroid of the 2-D plane of dynamic errors is used as the characteristics. Four wear states are defined in accordance with different levels of surface roughness, i.e., normal, slight, moderate, and severe. The boundaries of the four states are identified according to the locations of the centroid generated with the systems of different fraction orders. The boundaries are then fed into the extension model, and the relational function calculation is performed. In this way, the identification of tool state can be easily achieved. The experiment results indicate that Chen-Lee system and the Lorenz systems exhibit the same diagnosis rate (97.375%), higher than that of the Sprott system (35.75%). It is demonstrated that the two chaotic systems are fit for use with the method proposed in this paper. It is also proven that Chen-Lee and Lorenz fractional-order master-slave chaotic systems are very effective for tool life monitoring. The robustness of diagnosis is also greatly improved.

Adaptive Second-Order Sliding Mode Algorithm-Based Modified Function Projective Synchronization of Uncertain Hyperchaotic Systems

“…It is worth noting that the proposed control strategy could be easily extended to other types of synchronization or chaos control problem. Future work will include investigating the usage of the suggested method in real experiments using relevant application domains [1]- [6]. In addition, the development of this method to the case of chaotic systems with a higher relative degree is another possible future research direction.…”

“…Synchronization of chaotic or hyperchaotic systems (HPSs) has attracted enormous research efforts from the control community as the recent reports have shown the potential in many areas such as secure communications, image encryption, information processing, diagnosis and identification, power converters, chemical reaction and biological systems [1]- [6]. In recent years, the modified function projective synchronization (MFPS) problem has gained a particular attention as it helps to address a more general type of synchronization [7].…”

“…In recent years, the modified function projective synchronization (MFPS) problem has gained a particular attention as it helps to address a more general type of synchronization [7]. Specifically, the MFPS is well-suited to secure communication and image encryption since the MFPS means that the states of the slave system are driven to follow those of the master system up to nonlinear smooth scaling functions that seem to be difficult to be predicted, thus substantially improving the signal encryption [4]- [6].…”

Hazards That Can Affect CNC Machine Tools during Operation—An AHP Approach

“…Tool wear is also considered as a major source of hazard when CNC machining is considered. A recent work presented in [7] demonstrated the efficiency of using synchronized chaotic systems for tool wear identification.…”

A Model Following Based Real-Time Prediction and Monitoring of TFE-731 Turbofan Engine Compressors

“…However, due to the demand of real-time system self-awareness and online diagnosis increasing, the engine fault message should be triggered and recognized immediately. Recently, a new on-line monitoring strategy has been proposed and verified through wind power systems [10] and multi-axis cutting machines [11], [12]. By using a fraction order chaotic system dynamics feature, the fault condition can be observed easily.…”
