    Development of a surface roughness prediction system for machining of hot chromium steel (AISI H11) based on artificial neural network
    (Medwell Journals medwellonline@gmail.com, 2010) Rai, R.; Shettigar, A.; Rao, S.S.; Shriram
    An attempt have been made to apply the principles of artificial neural networks (ANN) towards developing a prediction model for surface roughness during the machining of high chromium steel through face milling process. Now a days, hot chromium steel is prominently used in die and mould industry as well as in press tools, helicopter rotor blades, etc. Initially, Taguchi design of experiments was applied while conducting the experiments to reduce the time and cost of experiment. Multilayer perceptron (MLP) network using Feed Forward Error Back propagation was chosen as the neural network architecture to describe the process model. The experiments were conducted on a C.N.C milling machine using carbide cutters. Pearson correlation coefficient was also calculated to analyze the correlation between the system inputs and selected system output i.e. surface roughness. The results of ANN modeling were substantiated by testing and validation of the resulting surface roughness values and the results have been encouraging. The outputs of Pearson correlation coefficient also showed a strong correlation between the feed per tooth and surface roughness, followed by cutting speed. © 2006-2010 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN).

    Machining Parameters Optimization of AA6061 Using Response Surface Methodology and Particle Swarm Optimization
    (SpringerOpen, 2018) Lmalghan, R.; Karthik, K.; Shettigar, A.; Rao, S.; Herbert, M.
    The influence of cutting parameters on the responses in face milling has been examined. Spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut have been considered as the influential factors. In accordance with the design of experiments (DOE) a series of experiments have been carried out. The paper exemplifies on the optimizing the process parameters in milling through the application of Response surface methodology (RSM), RSM-based Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique and Desirability approach. These aforesaid techniques have been applied to experimentally establish data of AA6061 aluminium material to study the effect of process parameters on the responses such as cutting force, surface roughness and power consumption. By adopting the multiple regression techniques, the interaction between the process parameters are acquired. The optimal parameters have been found by adopting the multi-response optimization techniques, i.e. desirability approach and PSO. The performance capability of PSO and desirability approach is investigated and found that the values obtained from PSO are comparable with the values of desirability approach. © 2018, Korean Society for Precision Engineering and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

    Influence of Support Vector Regression (SVR) on Cryogenic Face Milling
    (Hindawi Limited, 2021) Karthik, R.M.C.; Malghan, R.L.; Kara, F.; Shettigar, A.; Rao, S.S.; Herbert, M.A.
    The paper aims to investigate the processing execution of SS316 in manageable machining cooling ways such as dry, wet, and cryogenic (LN2-liquid nitrogen). Furthermore, "one parametric approach"was utilized to study the influence and carry out the comparative analysis of LN2over dry and LN2over wet machining conditions. Response surface methodology (RSM) is incorporated to build a relationship model among the considered independent variables (spindle speed: (S, rpm), feed rate (F, mm/min), and depth of cut (doc) (D, mm)) and the dependent variable (surface roughness (Ra)). Since there is the involvement of more than one independent variable, the generation of regression equation is "multiple linear regression."Based on the attained coefficient value of the independent variable, the respective impact on surface roughness is identified. The results of comparative analysis of LN2over dry and LN2over wet machining states revealed that LN2 machining yielded better surface finish with up to 64.9%, 54.9% over dry and wet machining, respectively, indicating the benefits of LN2 for achieving better Ra. The benchmark function of the proposed mode hybrid-bias (BNN-SVR) algorithm showcases the propensity to emerge out of the local minimum and coincide with the optimal target value. The performance of the (BNN-SVR) is a prevalent new ability to fetch the partially trained weights from the BNN model into the SVR model, thus leading to the conversion of static learning capability to dynamic capability. The performances of the adopted prediction approaches are compared through a range of attained error deviation, i.e., (RA: 3.95%-8.43%), (BNN: 2.36%-5.88%), (SVR: 1.04%-3.61%), respectively. Hybrid-bias (BNN-SVR) is the best suitable prediction model as it provides significant evidence by attaining less error in predicting Ra. However, SVR surpasses BNN and RSM approaches because of the convergence factor and narrow margin error. © 2021 Rao M. C. Karthik et al.

    Application of back propagation algorithms in neural network based identification responses of AISI 316 face milling cryogenic machining technique
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022) Karthik, K.R.; Malghan, R.L.; Shettigar, A.; Rao, S.S.; Herbert, M.A.
    The paper explores the potential study of artificial neural network (ANN) for prediction of response surface roughness (Ra) in face milling operation with respect to cryogenic approach. The model of Ra was expressed as the main factor in face milling of spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut and coolant type. The ANN is trained using four various back propagation algorithms (BPA). The emphasis of the paper is to investigate the performance and the accuracy of the attained results depicts the effectiveness of the trained ANN in identifying the predicted Ra. The incorporated various BPA in predicting the Ra. The performance comparative study is made among statistical (Response Surface Methodology (RSM)) and ANN (BPA–training algorithm) methods. The various incorporated BPA algorithms are Gradient Descent (GD), Scaled Conjugate Gradient Descent (SCGD), Levenberg Marquardt (LM) and Bayesian Neural Network (BNN). Afterwards the best suitable BPA is identified in predicting Ra for AISI 316 in face milling operation using liquid nitrogen (LN2) as cutting fluid. The outperformed BPA is identified based on the attained deviation percentage and time required for the training the network. © 2020 Engineers Australia.
