项目摘要

Manufacturing employs more than 12 million jobs and contributes over $2 trillion to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) annually. At the same time, manufacturing accounts for about 28 percent of the annual total energy consumed in the U.S. This is particularly true for metal cutting and machining processes, which have been a major contributor to the national economy in value creation, education, workforce development and employment. Despite rapid advancement in sensing and communication technologies, real-time process monitoring and prediction of the surface integrity of machined parts have remained a challenge for energy efficient, high-quality machining. Although the incorporation of real-time sensing data into physics-based machining models has the potential for model updating and calibration, and emerging machine learning (ML) techniques have demonstrated the effectiveness in data analysis for manufacturing, the general black-box nature of ML models has limited rigorous, physics-based interpretations of ML outcomes. This award addresses this existing gap by introducing a physics-guided learning method for machining surface integrity prediction with improved accuracy and transparency, through the complementary strengths of data science and process physics. The outcome of this project impacts multiple industry sectors, from aerospace to automotive, energy, and healthcare. The project’s interdisciplinary nature helps train the next generation of manufacturing workforce by broadening participation of women and underrepresented minority groups in research and education.This research investigates the compounding effects of machining process parameters on the surface integrity of machined parts. The research approach is multifold. (1) Develop physical models for the specific energy associated with machining surface integrity; (2) Develop a data generative method to synthesize images of cutting tool wear and machined surfaces by automatic characterization; (3) Integrate cutting physics into a recurrent neural network (RNN) for physics-guided surface integrity prediction to improve the interpretability and transparency of the ML outcomes; and (4) Experimentally evaluate the developed methods on a production-grade machine. The resulting methodology reduces the time and cost for post-machining product quality inspection, and creates new knowledge in three areas: (1) Introducing a new, energy-centric learning method that characterizes the machining surface integrity by means of specific energy; (2) Developing a new data synthesis method to address limitations in surface integrity data availability for model construction and evaluation; and (3) Demonstrating an effective pathway to integrate machine learning with physical knowledge for improved interpretation of the network structure and its prediction logic, thereby enhancing the network’s transparency and acceptance by the manufacturing industry.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

制造业提供了超过 1200 万个就业岗位，每年为国内生产总值 (GDP) 贡献超过 2 万亿美元。同时，制造业消耗的能源约占美国年度总能源消耗的 28%。对于金属切削和加工行业来说尤其如此。机械加工工艺在价值创造、教育、劳动力发展和就业方面对国民经济做出了主要贡献，尽管传感和通信技术迅速发展，但机械加工零件表面完整性的实时过程监控和预测仍然是一个重要的问题。挑战尽管将实时传感数据纳入基于物理的加工模型具有模型更新和校准的潜力，并且新兴的机器学习（ML）技术已经证明了制造数据分析的有效性，机器学习模型的一般黑盒性质限制了对机器学习结果的严格的、基于物理的解释，该奖项通过引入物理引导的学习方法来解决这一现有差距，该方法可通过互补的优势来提高准确性和透明度。数据科学和过程物理学。该项目的成果影响了从航空航天到汽车、能源和医疗保健等多个行业领域。该项目的跨学科性质有助于通过扩大女性和代表性不足的少数群体对研究和教育的参与来培训下一代制造业劳动力。加工工艺参数对加工零件表面完整性的复合影响的研究方法有多种：(1) 开发与加工表面完整性相关的特定能量的物理模型；(2) 开发合成图像的数据生成方法。通过自动表征切削刀具磨损和加工表面；（3）将切削物理集成到循环神经网络（RNN）中，以进行物理引导的表面完整性预测，以提高机器学习结果的可解释性和透明度；（4）对所开发的结果进行实验评估；由此产生的方法减少了加工后产品质量检查的时间和成本，并在三个领域创造了新知识：(1) 引入一种新的、以能量为中心的学习方法，该方法可以表征加工表面完整性。经过(2) 开发一种新的数据合成方法，以解决模型构建和评估的表面完整性数据可用性的限制；(3) 展示一种将机器学习与物理知识相结合的有效途径，以改进对网络结构的解释；及其预测逻辑，从而提高网络的透明度和制造业的接受度。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
