Item Back propagation genetic and recurrent neural network applications in modelling and analysis of squeeze casting process(Elsevier Ltd, 2017) Gowdru Chandrashekarappa, M.; Shettigar, A.K.; Krishna, P.; Parappagoudar, M.B.Today, in competitive manufacturing environment reducing casting defects with improved mechanical properties is of industrial relevance. This led the present work to deal with developing the input-output relationship in squeeze casting process utilizing the neural network based forward and reverse mapping. Forward mapping is aimed to predict the casting quality (such as density, hardness and secondary dendrite arm spacing) for the known combination of casting variables (that is, squeeze pressure, pressure duration, die and pouring temperature). Conversely, attempt is also made to determine the appropriate set of casting variables for the required casting quality (that is, reverse mapping). Forward and reverse mapping tasks are carried out utilizing back propagation, recurrent and genetic algorithm tuned neural networks. Parameter study has been conducted to adjust and optimize the neural network parameters utilizing the batch mode of training. Since, batch mode of training requires huge data, the training data is generated artificially using response equations. Furthermore, neural network prediction performances are compared among themselves (reverse mapping) and with those of statistical regression models (forward mapping) with the help of test cases. The results shown all developed neural network models in both forward and reverse mappings are capable of making effective predictions. The results obtained will help the foundry personnel to automate and précised control of squeeze casting process. © 2017Item Artificial bee colony, genetic, back propagation and recurrent neural networks for developing intelligent system of turning process(Springer Nature, 2020) Shettigar, A.K.; Gowdru Chandrashekarappa, G.C.M.; Ganesh, G.R.; Vundavilli, P.R.; Parappagoudar, M.B.Intelligent manufacturing requires significant technological interventions to interface manufacturing processes with computational tools in order to dynamically mold the systems. In this era of the 4th industrial revolution, Artificial neural network (ANNs) is a modern tool equipped with a better learning capability (based on the past experience or history data) and assists in intelligent manufacturing. This research paper reports on ANNs based intelligent modelling of a turning process. The central composite design is used as a data-driven modelling tool and huge input–output is generated to train the neural networks. ANNs are trained with the data collected from the physics-based models by using back-propagation algorithm (BP), genetic algorithm (GA), artificial bee colony (ABC), and BP algorithm trained with self-feedback loop. The ANNs are trained and developed as both forward and reverse mapping models. Forward modelling aims at predicting a set of machining quality characteristics (i.e. surface roughness, cylindricity error, circularity error, and material removal rate) for the known combinations of cutting parameters (i.e. cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and nose radius). Reverse modelling aims at predicting the cutting parameters for the desired machining quality characteristics. The parametric study has been conducted for all the developed neural networks (BPNN, GA-NN, RNN, ABC-NN) to optimize neural network parameters. The performance of neural network models has been tested with the help of ten test cases. The network predicted results are found in-line with the experimental values for both forward and reverse models. The neural network models namely, RNN and ABC-NN have shown better performance in forward and reverse modelling. The forward modelling results could help any novice user for off-line monitoring, that could predict the output without conducting the actual experiments. Reverse modelling prediction would help to dynamically adjust the cutting parameters in CNC machine to obtain the desired machining quality characteristics. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
