Abstract | ||||
ABSTRACT Artificial neural networks (ANNs) became one of the most important artificial intelligent tools that have found extensive application in solving many complicated real-world problems. This research presents a new predictive model of CO2 laser cutting of stainless steel 316 using ANN. The aim of this research is to develop an (ANN) model capable to predict the laser cutting process output parameters for certain input variables. The laser beam was used to cut 2mm thickness of stainless steel 316 sheet. The input parameters for the neural network are: laser power (P), traverse speed (v), assisted gas pressure(p) and focal plane position (F). The outputs of the neural network model are three most important performance parameters namely: upper kerf width (UKW), lower kerf width (LKW), and the average surface roughness (Ra). The model is based on multilayer feed-forward neural network. The experimentally acquired data is used to train, validate and test the neural network's performance, and special graphs were drawn for this purpose. Finally, this research work would provide a new model based on ANN technique to predict the cutting-edge quality parameters. | ||||
