A competitive neural network is proposed to be used to process a vibration acceleration signal from pilot ball mill pins in order to determine the filling level of its drum. It is experimentally proved that the neural network is able to detect the mill state characterized by its drum filling level under the condition of disturbances. Experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
