The research is done on a hot strip mill working roll where High Chromium Steel is used for roll’s shell material. To obtain corresponding parameters, a rectangular single edge notched bend specimens – SENB, according to standard BS 7448, were used. The fatigue crack growth analysis was done on a resonant testing machine with use of special crack gauges, while for fracture mechanics parameters the electro–mechanical testing machine was used.

2. Modeling of forming efficiency using genetic programmingMiran Brezočnik, Jože Balič, Zlatko Kampuš, 2001, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper proposes new approach for modeling of various processes in metal-forming industry. As an example, we demonstrate the use of genetic programming (GP) for modeling of forming efficiency. The forming efficiency is a basis for determination of yield stress which is the fundamental characteristic of metallic materials. Several different genetically evolved models for forming efficiency on the basis of experimental data for learning were discovered. The obtained models (equations) differ in size, shape, complexity and precision of solutions. In one run out of many runs of our GP system the well-known equation of Siebel was obtained. This fact leads us to opinion that GP is a very powerful evolutionary optimization method appropriate not only for modeling of forming efficiency but also for modeling of many other processes in metal-forming industry.

3. Predicting stress distribution in cold-formed material with genetic programmingMiran Brezočnik, Leo Gusel, 2004, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In this paper we propose a genetic programming approach to predict radial stress distribution in cold-formed material. As an example, cylindrical specimens of copper alloy were forward extruded and analysed by the visioplasticity method. They were extruded with different coefficients of friction. The values of three independent variables (i.e., radial and axial position of measured stress node, and coefficient of friction) were collected after each extrusion. These variables influence the value of the dependent variable, i.e., radial stress. On the basis of training data set, various different prediction models for radial stress distribution were developed during simulated evolution. Accuracy of the best models was proved with the testing data set. The research showed that by proposed approach the precise prediction models can be developed; therefore, it is widely used also in other areas in metal-forming industry, where the experimental data on the process are known.

4. Application of numerical simulations in the deep-drawing process and the holding system with segments' insertsMihael Volk, Blaž Nardin, Bojan Dolšak, 2011, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The demands for complicated products have increased dramatically over the last few years taking into consideration the utilisation of sheet metal, product quality and process conditions. For reliable product development and stable production process, the use of FEM is necessary. One of the most significant parameters in the sheet metal forming process is the blank holding force. In the research work, the optimisation of the blank holding force was performed with the help of FEM analysis. For the optimisation the geometry and the structure of the blank holder was optimised. The best results were obtained with flexible, segmented blank holders, which enables wider technological window for good parts.

6. Optimization of extrusion process by genetic algorithms and conventional techniquesZoran Jurković, Miran Brezočnik, Branko Grizelj, Vesna Mandić, 2009, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The purpose of this research is the determination of the optimal cold forward extrusion parameters with the minimization of tool load as objective. This paper deals with different optimization approaches in order to determine optimal values of logarithmic strain, die angle and friction factor with the purpose to find minimal tool loading obtained by cold forward extrusion process. Two experimental plans based on factorial design of experiment and orthogonal array have been carried out. Classical optimization, according to the response model of extrusion forming force, and the Taguchi approach are presented. The obtained extrusion force model as the fitness function was used to carry out genetic algorithm optimization. Experimental verification of optimal forming parameters with their influences on the forming forces was also performed. The experimental results show an improvement in the minimization of tool loading. The results of optimal forming parameters obtained with different optimization approaches have been compared and based on that the characteristics analysis (features and limitations) of presented techniques.

7. Yield strength modelling of formed material using evolutionary computational methodLeo Gusel, Rebeka Rudolf, 2009, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In this paper we propose an evolutionary computation approach for the modelling of yield strength in formed material. One of the most general evolutionary computation methods is genetic programming, which was used in our research. Genetic programming is an automated method for creating a working computer program from a problemćs high-level statement. Genetic programming does this by genetically breeding a population of computer programs using the principles of Darwinianćs natural selection and biologically inspired operations. During our research, material was cold formed by drawing using different process parameters and then determining yield strengths (dependent variable) of the specimens. On the basis of a training data set, various different genetic models for yield strength distribution were developed during simulated evolution. The accuracies of the best models were proved by a testing data set and comparing between the genetic and regression models. The research showed that very accurate genetic models can be developed by the proposed approach.

8. Modeling of impact toughness of cold formed material by genetic programmingLeo Gusel, Miran Brezočnik, 2006, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In the paper, an approach completely different from the conventional methods for determination of accurate models for the change of properties of cold formed material, is presented. This approach is genetic programming (GP) method which is based on imitation of natural evolution of living organisms. The main characteristic of GP is its non-deterministic way of computing. No assumptions about the form and size of expressions were made in advance, but they were left to the self organization and intelligence of evolutionary process. First, copper alloy rods were cold drawn under different conditions and then impact toughness of cold drawn specimens was determined by Charpy tests. The values of independent variables (effective strain, coefficient of friction) influence the value of the dependent variable, impact toughness. On the basis of training data, different prediction models for impact toughness were developed by GP. Only the best models, gained by genetic programming were presented in the paper. Accuracy of the best models was proved with the testing data set. The comparison between deviation of genetic model results and regression model results concerning the experimental results has showed that genetic models are more precise and more varied then regression models.
