Springback control in laser-assisted bending manufacturing process by using a fuzzy uncertain model

Abstract This study wants to propose a fuzzy model able to describe the inherent uncertainties related to a laser-assisted bending process and it is aimed at controlling of the springback phenomena, for a different set of laser process parameters. The process maps obtained are used to select the operational parameters in order to obtain the desired process output, providing as additional information how much the uncertainty of the model and the process varies by changing those operational parameters. The fuzzy model has also been used to assess the optimal parameters in order to satisfy the requirement of the least-cost.
