Additive manufacturing (AM) continues to rise in popularity due to its various advantages over traditional manufacturing processes. AM interests industry, but achieving repeatable production quality remains problematic for many AM technologies. Thus, modeling different process variables in AM using machine learning can be highly beneficial in creating useful knowledge of the process. Such developed artificial neural network (ANN) models would aid designers and manufacturers to make informed decisions about their products and processes. However, it is challenging to define an appropriate ANN topology that captures the AM system behavior. Toward that goal, an approach combining dimensional analysis conceptual modeling (DACM) and classical ANNs is proposed to create a new type of knowledge-based ANN (KB-ANN). This approach integrates existing literature and expert knowledge of the AM process to define a topology for the KB-ANN model. The proposed KB-ANN is a hybrid learning network that encompasses topological zones derived from knowledge of the process and other zones where missing knowledge is modeled using classical ANNs. The usefulness of the method is demonstrated using a case study to model wall thickness, part height, and total part mass in a fused deposition modeling (FDM) process. The KB-ANN-based model for FDM has the same performance with better generalization capabilities using fewer weights trained, when compared to a classical ANN.

This study aimed to create a Malaysian wind map of greater accuracy. Compared to a previous wind map, spatial modeling input was increased. The Genetic Algorithm-optimized Artificial Neural Network Measure–Correlate–Predict method was used to impute missing data, and managed to control over- or under-prediction issues. The established wind map was made more reliable by including surface roughness to simulate wind flow over complex terrain. Validation revealed that the current wind map is 33.833% more accurate than the previous wind map. Furthermore, the correlation coefficient between wind map-simulated data and observed data was high as 0.835. In conclusion, the new and improved wind map for Malaysia simulates data with acceptable accuracy.
