| Summary: | This research presents a compensated fuzzy logic system that integrates an interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (IT2FLS) with the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to model the turning process. First, an IT2FLS is elicited to model the turning process by mapping its input variables to the cutting force and the surface quality. Second, the GMM is incorporated in the IT2FLS structure to compensate for the error residuals. The idea of such an incorporation stems from the fact that the majority of the models are constructed based on the normality assumption of the error. The GMM is developed in a way that refines the extracted rules and considers stochastic unmodelled behaviours. Validated on real experiments, it has been demonstrated that the compensated fuzzy logic system has the ability to accurately predict the cutting force and the surface quality; deal with uncertainties; and provide users with comprehensive understanding of the turning process.
