The paper provides formalization and construction of a model of the process of electrical discharge machining. When describing the process, a T-shaped equivalent circuit containing an RLC circuit was used. Determine the transfer function of the proposed substitution scheme. Also, a task is formulated and an algorithm for neural network parametric identification of a T-shaped equivalent circuit is proposed. The problem is posed and an algorithm is developed for neural network parametric identification of the equivalent circuit with a computational experiment, the formation of training samples on its basis, and the subsequent training of dynamic and static neural networks used in the identification problem. The process was simulated in Simulink, Matlab package. Acceptable coincidence of the calculated data with the experimental ones showed that the proposed model of electrical discharge machining reflects real electromagnetic processes occurring in the interelectrode gap.

This paper describes a parametric identification tool for predicting the hydrodynamic forces acting on a submarine model using its motion history. The tool uses a neural network to identify the hydrodynamic forces and moments; the network was trained with data obtained from multi-degree-of-freedom captive maneuvering tests. The characteristics of the trained network are demonstrated through reconstruction of the force and moment time histories. This technique has the potential to reduce experimental time and cost by enabling a full hydrodynamic model of the vehicle to be obtained from a relatively limited number of test maneuvers.

This paper deals with the development and comparison of prediction models established using response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) for a wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) process. The WEDM experiments were designed using central composite design (CCD) for machining of Inconel 718 superalloy. During experimentation, the pulse-on-time (TON), pulse-off-time (TOFF), servo-voltage (SV), peak current (IP), and wire tension (WT) were chosen as control factors, whereas, the kerf width (Kf), surface roughness (Ra), and materials removal rate (MRR) were selected as performance attributes. The analysis of variance tests was performed to identify the control factors that significantly affect the performance attributes. The double hidden layer ANN model was developed using a back-propagation ANN algorithm, trained by the experimental results. The prediction accuracy of the established ANN model was found to be superior to the RSM model. Finally, the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA- II) was implemented to determine the optimum WEDM conditions from multiple objectives.

A Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller is commonly used to carry out tasks like position tracking in the industrial robot manipulator controller; however, over time, the PID integral gain generates degradation within the controller, which then produces reduced stability and bandwidth. A proportional derivative (PD) controller has been proposed to deal with the increase in integral gain but is limited if gravity is not compensated for. In practice, the dynamic system non-linearities frequently are unknown or hard to obtain. Adaptive controllers are online schemes that are used to deal with systems that present non-linear and uncertainties dynamics. Adaptive controller use measured data of system trajectory in order to learn and compensate the uncertainties and external disturbances. However, these techniques can adopt more efficient learning methods in order to improve their performance. In this work, a nominal control law is used to achieve a sub-optimal performance, and a scheme based on a cascade neural network is implemented to act as a non-linear compensation whose task is to improve upon the performance of the nominal controller. The main contributions of this work are neural compensation based on a cascade neural networks and the function to update the weights of neural network used. The algorithm is implemented using radial basis function neural networks and a recompense function that leads longer traces for an identification problem. A two-degree-of-freedom robot manipulator is proposed to validate the proposed scheme and compare it with conventional PD control compensation.
