ABSTRACT
Machining process is defined as a process of material removal from a work
piece in the form of chips. This process has improved significantly over the years to
meet the field requirements. However, a major issue in the process is how to obtain
accurate results of the machining performance measurement value at optimal point of
cutting conditions. Machining performance for surface roughness has been widely
discussed by researchers but determining the optimal solution for surface roughness
remains as one of the most challenging problem due to the complexity of the
modeling process. Thus, this research proposed a hybrid model combining Grey
Relational Analysis (GRA) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) to predict surface
roughness values for end milling and abrasive water jet (AWJ) machining processes.
In the proposed hybrid Grey Relational-Support Vector Machine (GR-SVM)
prediction model, GRA acts as a feature selection method in pre-processing process
to eliminate irrelevant factors and SVM solves the regression functions in machining
problems to determine the surface roughness value. Efficiency of the proposed
prediction model was demonstrated by comparing the results of the hybrid model
with the experimental data and results of conventional SVM prediction model based
on correlation and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values. The results showed that
the hybrid GR-SVM prediction model presented the most accurate results due to its
ability to remove redundant features and irrelevant elements from the experimental
datasets. These results have shown that the optimal solution of machining
performance can be achieved by using the proposed hybrid GR-SVM prediction
model.

ABSTRAK
Process pemesinan ditakrifkan sebagai satu proses pembuangan bahan
daripada bahan kerja dalam bentuk cip. Proses ini telah berkembang dengan pesat
sejak beberapa tahun untuk memenuhi bidang keperluan. Walau bagaimanapun isu
utama dalam proses ini ialah kaedah untuk mendapatkan keputusan yang tepat bagi
nilai pengukuran prestasi pemesinan pada titik optimum syarat pemotongan. Prestasi
pemesinan untuk kekasaran permukaan telah dibincangkan dengan meluas oleh para
penyelidik tetapi menentukan penyelesaian optimum untuk kekasaran permukaan
kekal sebagai salah satu masalah yang paling mencabar kerana kerumitan proses
model. Oleh itu kajian ini mencadangkan satu model hibrid yang menggabungkan
Analisis Hubungan Grey (GRA) dengan Sokongan Mesin Vektor (SVM) untuk
meramalkan nilai kekasaran permukaan bagi proses pemesinan pengisaran hujung
dan pelelas jet air (AWJ). Dalam model ramalan hibrid Hubungan Grey-Sokongan
Mesin Vektor (GR-SVM), GRA bertindak sebagai kaedah pemilihan ciri dalam
proses pra-pemprosesan untuk menghapuskan faktor-faktor tidak relevan sementara
SVM pula menyelesaikan fungsi regresi dalam masalah pemesinan untuk
menentukan nilai kekasaran permukaan. Kecekapan model ramalan yang
dicadangkan ditunjukkan dengan membandingkan keputusan model hibrid dengan
data eksperimen dan keputusan model ramalan SVM konvensional berdasarkan nilai-
nilai korelasi dan punca kuasa ralat kuasa dua (RMSE). Hasil kajian menunjukkan
bahawa model ramalan hibrid GR-SVM memberikan keputusan yang paling tepat
kerana kemampuannya untuk menghapuskan ciri-ciri berlebihan dan unsur-unsur
yang tidak relevan daripada set data eksperimen. Keputusan ini menunjukkan
bahawa penyelesaian prestasi pemesinan yang optimum dapat dicapai dengan
menggunakan cadangan model ramalan hibrid GR-SVM.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This chapter discusses the brief overview about the research conducted in this
study. The topic includes background of the study, problem statement, objectives and
scopes of the study. Research significant and contributions of the study are also
discussed in this chapter.
1.1 Background of the study
As the demands of consumer economy grows rapidly, machining recently be
the most important and widely used in manufacturing process instead of forming,
molding, and casting processes. Generally, machining can be defined as a process of
material removal from a workpiece in the form of chips. In the recent years,
machining technology has been improved significantly to meet the requirements in
different fields. Basically, there are two types of machining process, namely
conventional machining and modern machining (Zain et al., 2011a). Conventional
machining consists of traditional process work piece removal in the form of chips
such as turning, milling, grinding and boring while modern machining comes in
terms of chemical items or advanced technologies such as abrasive water jet (AWJ),
2
electrochemical machining (ECM), electric beam machining (EBM) and
photochemical machining (PCM).
The need of modern machining or unconventional machining was firstly
emphasized by Merchant in 1960 for the development of newer concepts in
machining process (Panday and Shan, 1980). Due to the new advent technologies
that thrive nowadays, the machining process continuously evolve from time to time
as researcher have found and developed many new techniques and modern tool of
machining. There are two fields that have been interest for researches in machining,
which are modeling and optimization. According to Zain et al. (2011a), modeling in
machining refers to the process of estimating the potential minimum or maximum
value of machining performance while optimization refers to the process of
estimating optimal solution of cutting condition that leads to the minimum or
maximum machining value of machining performances. Various techniques were
considered and carried out to model and optimize the machining performances. This
study only focuses on modeling of machining performance. The primary purpose of
the machining modeling is to estimate the minimum values (such as surface
roughness, operation time, operation cost etc.) or maximum values (such as material
removal rate, tool wear etc.) of machining performance measurements.
It has been recognized that cutting force, power, torque, surface roughness,
tool-wear, chip form, chip breakability, tool-life, surface integrity and part accuracy
are the most common machining performances that evaluated by major measure
(Jawahir et al., 2003). According to Yusup et al. (2012), surface roughness is the
most machining performance that has been considered by the researchers for the past
five years (2007-2011), due to the facts that surface roughness affects several
functional attributes of the machining process (Wang, 2009). Practically, surface
roughness plays an important role in wear resistance, tensile, ductility, and fatigue
strength for machine parts (Wang and Chang, 2004). According to Caydas and
Hascalik (2008), surface roughness is a technological quality measurement of a
product and a factor that considerably affects the manufacturing cost. Consequently,
modeling of surface roughness, which is the process of predicting the minimum
3
value of surface roughness, is a crucial part in machining process in order to meet the
field requirements.
Due to the uncertainty and complexity in modeling of surface roughness in
machining process, computational approaches are being preferred apply by the
researchers (Jawahir et al., 2003). Computational approaches have become a most
potential research area and received a great deal of attention to the researchers to
develop a model for giving an improved value of surface roughness measurement. It
became exaggerate from time to time since it gave a best result to the researchers.
According to Zain et al., (2011a), single-based computational approaches were
managed to estimate the optimal process parameters, leading to the minimum value
of surface roughness. Computational approaches include fuzzy logic (FL), artificial
neural network (ANN), genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO),
ant colony optimization (ACO), simulated annealing (SA), Artificial Intelligent
System (AIS), Grey Relational Analysis (GRA), and support vector machine (SVM).
Moreover, the evolutionary of modern technology has lead to the new approaches in
modeling of machining performances.
The evolutionary of computational approach has become an important
problem solving methodology among researchers to improve the machining
performances (Grosan and Abraham, 2007). This approach includes the hybridization
process of single-based computational approach in order to get better performance in
machining modeling. This study considers the hybridization of SVM and GRA, in
estimating a better result for prediction of surface roughness value. Based on the
literature, an attempt of hybridization of SVM and GRA has been made in predicting
consumption of spare parts (Huang et al., 2010) and also agriculture field (Shi,
2012). For the predicting of spare parts consumption, the influencing factors were
selected by grey relational analysis and SVM regression was used as the prediction
model of the spare parts consumption for the military aircrafts and for agriculture
field, the production of China grain was predicted using the hybridization of SVM
and GRA. Both prediction results show that the hybrid SVM and GRA gave high
prediction performance with a small number of prediction errors.
4
However, there is still no attempt of hybridization SVM and GRA in
machining area. Thus, this study, which is modeling of surface roughness, is
considered as a new contribution to the machining field.
1.2 Problem Statement
The success of machining process depends on the proper selection of cutting
condition based on cost and quality factors. The major issue in machining process is
how to obtain accurate result of machining performances, such as surface roughness
values using various machining factors of cutting operations. Furthermore, the need
for estimating the best machining performances with the most suitable cutting tools
has been felt over the last few decades. These machining performances should be
selected to optimize the economics of machining operations. For instance, selection
of cutting condition of surface roughness in machining process still remains as one of
the most challenging problems due to the complexity of the process. Traditionally,
the selection of cutting condition in machining process is left to the machine
operator. However, this process mostly depends on the machinist expertise and also
gives a high cost. Moreover, in machining process, the cutting process was done
continuously in order to get the target value despite the material can be used only
once. So, this process will give highly cost with a lot of the wasted material used. In
such cases, machinist experience plays a major rule but sometimes it is difficult to
maintain the optimum values for each experiment (Aggawal and Singh, 2005).
With the help of computational approaches in predicting machining
performances, there is no machinist expertise will be used and the machining cost
can be reduced. Hence, this study promotes the use of SVM computational approach
in estimating surface roughness value of machining process. SVM becomes a new
trend in recent research especially in modeling of machining performances, which is
a relatively new computational learning method constructed based on the statistical
learning theory classifier (Chiu and Guao, 2008). SVM has widely been used in
modeling of various fields such as financial (Tay and Coa, 2001; Pai and Lin, 2005;
5
Min et al., 2006), health (Furey et al., 2000; Cai et al., 2001; Akay, 2009), and
agriculture. Based on the structural risk minimization (SRM) principal, SVM can get
decision-making rules and achieve small error for independent tests set and hence
can solve the learning problems efficiently (Samantha et al., 2003).
However, in some cases, the data in machining model may contain
irrelevance and redundant feature that is used as input features in development of
SVM model. This kind of data not only increased the training time, but it may lead to
the overfitting problem that reduces the prediction performance. This irrelevance and
redundant data also need to be eliminated from the input features in order to get a
better prediction model. Conventional SVM approach does not have the ability to
recognize this irrelevant element. So, there is a need of the model that is able to
remove the unwanted data in order to improve the model performance. As a result,
this research promotes the hybridization approach, hybrid GR-SVM, to estimate the
minimum values of surface roughness so that the machining target can be achieved.
GR-SVM is a hybridization model of SVM computational approach and also GRA
approach. GRA is basically an analysis technique that has been proposed in Grey
System Theory by Professor Deng Julong (Xuerui and Yuguang, 2004). GRA acts as
feature selection approach which is able to selects a subset of relevant features, and
also removes redundant and irrelevant features from the data to build robust learning
models.
In relation to the machining problem discussed above, three research question
of this study are:
i. How to predict potential values of the machining performances for giving a
possible value of minimum surface roughness?
ii. How to modify the existing single-based computational approach model in
order to give better results of surface roughness?
iii. How to identify the effectiveness of proposed hybridization model?
6
1.3 Aim of the research
The aim of the research is to identify the minimum value of surface
roughness in end milling and AWJ machining processes using the proposed hybrid
GR-SVM model.
1.4 Objectives of the research
The objectives of this study are:
i. To develop conventional SVM model in predicting the minimum value of
surface roughness.
ii. To develop a new hybridization GR-SVM model for predicting minimum
surface roughness value.
iii. To evaluate and validate the performance of the proposed hybrid model in
predicting minimum surface roughness value.
1.5 Scope of the research
The scopes of the study are:
i. Two machining process, end-milling (conventional machining) and
AWJ (modern machining) are considered.
ii. The machining performance considered for both end-milling and
AWJ is surface roughness (Ra).
iii. Process parameters of end-milling are cutting speed (v), feed rate (f),
and radial rake angle ( ).
7
iv. Process parameters of AWJ are traverse speed (V), waterjet pressure
(P), standoff distance (h), abrasive grit size (d), and abrasive flow rate
(m).
v. Experimental data of end-milling conducted by Mohruni (2008).
vi. Experimental data of AWJ conducted by Caydas and Hascalik (2008).
1.6 Research significant
This study is to develop and analyze the performance of proposed GR-SVM
model, which is a hybridization of SVM and GRA approach in prediction of
machining surface roughness value. In order to indicate the effectiveness of the
proposed model, the final results are compared with the conventional SVM
prediction model. With the development of proposed hybrid GR-SVM model, there
is no expertise or machinist will be used in order to find the minimum surface
roughness value hence the cost of the machining process can be reduced.
1.7 Contributions of the study
The contributions of this study can be divided into two parts, they are:
i. Improvement of conventional SVM model. The proposed hybrid GR-
SVM model has potential to estimate the influential factors of process
parameters to the surface roughness value. The influential factors of
process parameters are ranked based on Grey Relational Grade (GRG)
value obtained. Process parameter with the high GRG value is
considered to give a high effect to surface roughness value.
ii. Better quality of machined-work piece. The proposed hybrid model is
expected to improve the prediction accuracy that leads to much
minimum value of surface roughness.
