The objective of the chapter is to present the application of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modelling of the Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) process. It establishes the best ANN model by comparing the prediction from different models under the effect of process parameters. In EDM, the motivation is frequently to get better Material Removal Rate (MRR) with fulfilling better surface quality of machined components. The vital requirements are as small a radial overcut with minimal tool wear rate. The quality of a machined surface is very important to fulfilling the growing demands of higher component performance, durability, and reliability. To improve the reliability of the machine component, it is necessary to have in depth knowledge of the effect of parameters on the aforesaid responses of the components. An extensive chain of experiments has been conducted over a wide range of input parameters, using the full factorial design. More than 150 experiments have been conducted on AISI D2 work piece materials using copper electrodes to get the data for training and testing. The additional experiments were obtained to validate the model predictions. The performance of three neural network models is discussed in the evaluation of the generalization ability of the trained neural network. It was observed that the artificial neural network models could predict the process performance with reasonable accuracy, under varying machining conditions.

The purpose of this research is the evaluation of artificial neural network models in the prediction of stresses in a 400 MVA power transformer winding conductor caused by the circulation of fault currents. The models were compared considering the training, validation, and test data errors’ behavior. Different combinations of hyperparameters were analyzed based on the variation of architectures, optimizers, and activation functions. The data for the process was created from finite element simulations performed in the FEMM software. The design of the Artificial Neural Network was performed using the Keras framework. As a result, a model with one hidden layer was the best suited architecture for the problem at hand, with the optimizer Adam and the activation function ReLU. The final Artificial Neural Network model predictions were compared with the Finite Element Method results, showing good agreement but with a much shorter solution time.
