Surface roughness prediction model in ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding of BK7 optical glass

Abstract

Pre-knowledge of machined surface roughness is the key to improve whole machining efficiency and meanwhile reduce the expenditure in machining optical glass components. In order to predict the surface roughness in ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding of brittle materials, the surface morphologies of grinding wheel were obtained firstly in the present work, the grinding wheel model was developed and the abrasive trajectories in ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding were also investigated, the theoretical model for surface roughness was developed based on the above analysis. The prediction model was developed by using Gaussian processing regression (GPR) due to the influence of brittle fracture on machined surface roughness. In order to validate both the proposed theoretical and GPR models, 32 sets of experiments of ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding of BK7 optical glass were carried out. Experimental results show that the average relative errors of the theoretical model and GPR prediction model are 13.11% and 8.12%, respectively. The GPR prediction results can match well with the experimental results.
