| description | Accurate prediction of tool wear plays a vital role in improving machining quality in intelligent manufacturing. However, traditional Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) models are constrained by linear assumptions, while conventional filtering algorithms struggle in noisy environments with low signal-to-noise ratios. To address these challenges, this paper presents an innovative tool wear prediction method that integrates a nonlinear mean function and a multi-kernel function-optimized GPR model combined with an LSTM-enhanced particle filter algorithm. The approach incorporates the LSTM network into the state transition model, utilizing its strong time-series feature extraction capabilities to dynamically adjust particle weight distributions, significantly enhancing the accuracy of state estimation. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method reduces the mean absolute error (MAE) by 47.6% and improves the signal-to-noise ratio by 15.4% compared to traditional filtering approaches. By incorporating a nonlinear mean function based on machining parameters, the method effectively models the coupling relationships between cutting depth, spindle speed, feed rate, and wear, leading to a 31.09% reduction in MAE and a 42.61% reduction in RMSE compared to traditional linear models. The kernel function design employs a composite strategy using a Gaussian kernel and a 5/2 Matern kernel, achieving a balanced approach that captures both data smoothness and abrupt changes. This results in a 58.7% reduction in MAE and a 64.5% reduction in RMSE. This study successfully tackles key challenges in tool wear monitoring, such as noise suppression, nonlinear modeling, and non-stationary data handling, providing an efficient and stable solution for tool condition monitoring in complex manufacturing environments. |
