DOI: 10.46793/ICPES25.124J
The paper presents a study of deformation in open dies of the aluminum alloy AlMgSi0.5. A part of the research focused on modeling the deformation force during the process is provided. The investigation was conducted according to an experimental plan, adopting a full multi-factorial orthogonal plan with repetition at the central point. The input factors were the geometric parameters of the die and the workpiece, as well as the temperature. Deformation forces were recorded at each point of the plan, and modeling was performed. The modeling was carried out in MATLAB using a Feedforward Neural Network (FNN), with the Deep Learning Toolbox. The obtained model values show a high degree of correlation with the experimentally measured deformation forces
