Estimation of CNC Grinding Process Parameters Using Different Neural Networks

Abstract

Continuation of research on solving the problem of estimation of CNC grinding process parameters of multi-layer ceramics is presented in the paper. Heuristic analysis of the process was used to define the attributes of influence on the grinding process and the research model was set. For the problem of prediction-estimation of the grinding process parameters the following networks were used in experimental work: Modular Neural Network (MNN), Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN), General Regression Neural Network (GRNN) and Self-Organizing Map Neural Network (SOMNN). The experimental work, based on real data from the technological process was performed for the purpose of training and testing various architectures and algorithms of neural networks. In the architectures design process different rules of learning and transfer functions and other attributes were used. RMS error was used as a criterion for value evaluation and comparison of the realised neural networks and was compared with previous results obtained by Back-Propagation Neural Network (BPNN). In the validation phase the best results were obtained by Back-Propagation Neural

Prediction of Surface Roughness and Power in Turning Process Using Response Surface Method and ANN

“…In order to imitate the nonlinear function, the network needs a neuron activation function. This transfer-activation function determines the moment of launching the impulse to the neuron network and it can be linear or nonlinear [21]. Guidelines or algorithms to select the proper number of neurons do not exist.…”

“…They concluded that the RSM provided a better prediction of surface roughness. Paper [13] represents the comparative study that used different neural networks to estimate the process parameters during grinding.…”

Applying Artificial Neural Network to Optimize the Performance of the Compressor Station: A Case Study

“…The authors of [27][28][29][30] were using the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) as a criterion for evaluating the model. The disadvantage of quality measures used by squaring the individual error due to which higher values of individual error take a larger share in the overall results and thus give greater importance to greater deviations [31].…”

Modelling and Prediction of Surface Roughness in CNC Turning Process using Neural Networks

“…The proposed system also included, among others, prediction of surface roughness by cutting parameters and control of obtained or needed surface roughness by means of the characteristics quantified from the digital image of the observed machined surface. Authors [22,23] use various algorithms of neural networks for investigation of manufacturing problems.…”
