METHOD AND DIRECTED ENERGY DEPOSITION MATERIAL ADDITION SYSTEM AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM USING NEURO-FUZZY LOGIC FOR CONTROLLING MATERIAL ADDITION PROCESSES

摘要

A method includes the controlling, by a computing device (26), a directed energy deposition material addition (DED MA) technique based at least in part on a thermal model. The thermal model defines a plurality of default operating parameters for the DED MA technique. The method also includes detecting, by at least one sensor (18), at least one parameter related to the DED MA technique. Further, the method includes, responsive to determining, by the computing device (26), that a value of the at least one detected parameter is different from an expected value of a corresponding parameter predicted by the thermal model, determining, by the computing device (26) and using a neuro-fuzzy algorithm, an updated value for at least one operating parameter for the DED MA technique, and controlling, by the computing device (26), the DED MA technique based at least in part on the updated value.
