Identification of eccentricity of a motorized spindle-tool system with random parameters
Abstract
In order to improve the efficiency of identifying parameters using the maximum likelihood method and to avoid the sensitivity of initial values, a proposed method that combines the micro-genetic algorithm with the advance and retreat method is presented in order to identify the eccentricity of the spindle-tool system with random input and output parameters, which obey a certain probability distribution. Eccentricity without prior information is determined through an iterative procedure. The initial value starts from zero, and the interval is determined by the advance and retreat method. Then, the optimal value is searched in the corresponding interval, utilizing the micro-genetic algorithm. The initial value and interval at each of iterations are changed to ensure a fast and stable convergence. Eventually, a numerical example with three kinds of random deviations verifies the feasibility and validity of the proposed method.
