Description
Summary:The aim of this paper is to develop an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for springback prediction in the free cylindrical bending of metallic sheets. The proposed ANN model was developed and tested using the Matlab software. The input parameters of the proposed ANN model were the sheet thickness, punch radius, and coefficient of friction. The resulting data is represented by the springback coefficient. Preparation, assessing and confirmation of the model were achieved using 126 data series obtained by Finite element analysis (FEA). ANN was trained by Levenberg - Marquardt back - propagation algorithm. The performance of the ANN model was evaluated using statistic measurements. The predictions of the ANN model, regarding FEA, had quite low root mean squared error (RMSE) values and the model performed well with the coefficient of determination values. This shows that the developed ANN model leads to the idea of being used as an instrument for springback prediction.
