    A Comparative Analysis of Surface Roughness Prediction Models Using Soft Computing Techniques
    (Springer, 2020-07) Garg, Girish Kant; Sangwan, Kuldip Singh
    Surface roughness is one of the significant index to measure the product quality of the machined parts. The objective of this work is to contribute towards the development of prediction models for surface roughness. In this work, the predictive models were developed for turning operations using soft computing techniques; support vector regression (SVR) and artificial neural network (ANN). The turning experiments are conducted to obtain the experimental data. The developed predictive models were compared using relative error and validated using hypothesis testing. The results indicate that both techniques provide a close relation between the predicted values and the experimental values for surface roughness and are appropriate to predict the surface roughness with significant acceptable accuracy. It is found that ANN performs better as compared to SVR.

    Predictive Modeling for Power Consumption in Machining Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques
    (Elsevier, 2015) Sangwan, Kuldip Singh; Garg, Girish Kant
    The objective of this work is to highlight the modeling capabilities of artificial intelligence techniques for predicting the power requirements in machining process. The present scenario demands such types of models so that the acceptability of power prediction models can be raised and can be applied in sustainable process planning. This paper presents two artificial intelligence modeling techniques - artificial neural network and support vector regression - used for predicting the power consumed in machining process. In order to investigate the capability of these techniques for predicting the value of power, a real machining experiment is performed. Experiments are designed using Taguchi method so that effect of all the parameters could be studied with minimum possible number of experiments. A L16 (43) 4-level 3-factor Taguchi design is used to elaborate the plan of experiments. The power predicted by both techniques are compared and evaluated against each other and it has been found that ANN slightly performs better as compare to SVR. To check the goodness of models, some representative hypothesis tests t-test to test the means, f-test and Leven's test to test variance are conducted. Results indicate that the models proposed in the research are suitable for predicting the power.

    Predictive Modelling and Optimization of Machining Parameters to Minimize Surface Roughness using Artificial Neural Network Coupled with Genetic Algorithm
    (Elsevier, 2015) Sangwan, Kuldip Singh; Garg, Girish Kant
    This paper develops a predictive and optimization model by coupling the two artificial intelligence approaches – artificial neural network and genetic algorithm – as an alternative to conventional approaches in predicting the optimal value of machining parameters leading to minimum surface roughness. A real machining experiment has been referred in this study to check the capability of the proposed model for prediction and optimization of surface roughness. The results predicted by the proposed model indicate good agreement between the predicted values and experimental values. The analysis of this study proves that the proposed approach is capable of determining the optimum machining parameters.

    Optimization of Machining Parameters to Minimize Surface Roughness using Integrated ANN-GA Approach
    (Elsevier, 2015) Sangwan, Kuldip Singh; Garg, Girish Kant
    The surface roughness is a widely used index of product quality in terms of precision fit of mating surfaces, fatigue life improvement, corrosion resistance, aesthetics, etc. Surface roughness also denotes the amount of energy and other resources consumed during machining. This paper presents an approach for determining the optimum machining parameters leading to minimum surface roughness by integrating Artificial Neural Network(ANN) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). To check the capability of the ANN-GA approach for prediction and optimization of surface roughness, a real machining experiment has been referred in this study. A feed forward neural network is developed by collecting the data obtained during the turning of Ti-6Al-4 V titanium alloy. The MATLAB toolbox has been used for training and testing of neural network model. The predicted results using ANN indicate good agreement between the predicted values and experimental values. Further, GA is integrated with neural network model to determine the optimal machining parameters leading to minimum surface roughness. The analysis of this study proves that the ANN-GA approach is capable of predicting the optimum machining parameters.
