“…Back propagation neural network, proposed by Rumelhart, Hilton, and Williams (1986), have been successfully applied by Sathyanarayanan, Lin, and Chen (1992) and Jain, Jain, and Kalra (1999), and Feng, Wang, and Yu (2002) for modelling a typical creep feed super alloy-grinding, prediction of material removal rate and surface finish parameter of a typical abrasive flow machining, and a honing operation of engine cylinder liners, respectively. Grzesik & Brol (2003) show the usefulness of ANN modelling for controlling surface finish characteristics in multistage machining processes.…”
