Welding automation is a trend of welding technical development. Be-cause of the high complexity of arc welding process, it is hard to obtain an accurate mathematical models, which limits the further application of tradi-tional control method. Recently, more attention has been paid to intelligent control for its adaptability to complex processes. Intelligent modeling is usu-ally essential and significant to the design of intelligent control system. Re-searches are focused on fuzzy set method, neural network method or their hybrid method for welding process's intelligent modeling. However, these methods have some disadvantages that are hard to overcome by themselves. Rough set (RS) based modeling method, being a relative new modeling method, has been used in welding field and has shown its adaptability. How-... |
