Abstract A sequential process combining laser beam micromachining(LBMM) and micro electro-discharge machining (μEDM) for the micro-drilling purpose was developed to incorporate both methods' benefits. In this sequential process, a guiding hole is produced through LBMM first, followed by μEDM applied to that same hole for more fine machining. This process facilitates a more stable, efficient machining regime with faster processing (compared to pure μEDM) and much better hole quality (compared to LBMMed holes). Studies suggest that strong correlations exist between the various input and output parameters of the sequential process. However, a mathematical model that maps and simultaneously predicts all these output parameters from the input parameters is yet to be developed. Our experimental study observed that the µEDM finishing operation's various output parameters are influenced by the morphological condition of the LBMMed holes. Hence, an artificial neural network(ANN) based dual-stage modelling method was developed to predict the sequential process's outputs. The first stage of the dual-stage model was utilized to predict various LBMM process outputs from different laser input parameters. Furthermore, in the second stage, LBMM predicted outputs (such as pilot hole entry area, exit area, recast layer, and heat affected zone) were used for the final prediction of the sequential process outputs (i.e. machining time by μEDM, machining stability during μEDM in terms of short circuit count and tool wear during μEDM). The model was evaluated based on the average RMSE (Root Mean Square Errors) values for the individual output parameters' complete set data, i.e. μEDM time, short circuit count and tool wear. The values of Average RMSE for the parameters as mentioned earlier were found to be 0.1272(87.28% accuracy), 0.1085(89.15% accuracy), 0.097 (90.3% accuracy), respectively.

Finding an appropriate model to assess and evaluate mechanical properties in tissue engineered scaffolds is a challenging issue. In this research, a structurally based model was applied to analyze the mechanics of engineered tendon and ligament. Major attempts were made to find the optimum mechanical properties of silk wire-rope scaffold by using the back propagation artificial neural network (ANN) method. Different samples of wire-rope scaffolds were fabricated according to Taguchi experimental design. The number of filaments and twist in each layer of the four layered wire-rope silk yarn were considered as the input parameters in the model. The output parameters included the mechanical properties which consisted of UTS, elongation at break, and stiffness. Finally, sensitivity analysis on input data showed that the number of filaments and the number of twists in the fourth layer are less important than other input parameters.

An artificial neural network (ANN) is presented to predict the workability of self compacting concrete (SCC) containing slump, slump flow and V-test. A data set of a laboratory work, in which a total of 23 concretes were produced, was utilized in the ANNs study. ANN model is constructed, trained and tested using these data. The data used in the ANN model are arranged in a format of six input parameters that cover the cement, fly ash, blast furnace slag, super plasticizer, sand ratio and water/binder, three output parameters which are slump, slump flow and V-test of SCC. ANN-1, ANN-2 and ANN-3 models which containing 15 ,11 and 5 neurons in the hidden layers, respectively are found to predict workability of concrete well within the ranges of the input parameters considered. The three models are tested by comparing to the results to actual measured data. The results showed that ANN-2 is the best suitable for predicting the workability of SCC using concrete ingredients as input parameters.

Distillation is a unit operation with multiple input parameters and multiple output parameters. It is characterized by multiple variables, coupling between input parameters, and non-linear relationship with output parameters. Therefore, it is very difficult to use traditional methods to control and optimize the distillation column. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) uses the interconnection between a large number of neurons to establish the functional relationship between input and output, thereby achieving the approximation of any non-linear mapping. ANN is used for the control and optimization of distillation tower, with short response time, good dynamic performance, strong robustness, and strong ability to adapt to changes in the control environment. This article will mainly introduce the research progress of ANN and its application in the modeling, control and optimization of distillation towers.

The design engineering is one of essential work in modern manufacturing environment. The optimization is principal technique to be used widely for searching the solution. However, primary process of optimization is to know the relation between design input parameters and target output. In this work, an artificial neural network (ANN) approach as an intelligent algorithm is proposed to construct the relation and also provides it in form of mathematic modeling. Even though the ANN modeling is so call a backblock due to difficulty to understand complicated equations, it is simply constructed by automate iteration process. A case of paper helicopter is used as an example of the application. The classical 2k Factorial design is used to provide an experiment plan to create training and testing data. 93 experiments are carried out. The architecture of ANN is set according to lowest Mean square error (MSE) of training and testing procedure. The result of 5-10-1 architecture has shown ability to accurately predict output, landing time, with MSE of 0.012. With such a highly quantitative accuracy of results, the developed model using the neural network approach can be used for finding the suitable input parameters to achieve a desired target output. In this case, the design of dimension (A) Depth of cut wing is 1.3 cm., (B) Length of wing is 12.9 cm., (C) Length of body is 9.0, (D) Width of body is 2.0 cm., and (E) Depth of cut body is 0 cm. yield the lowest area of a paper helicopter that can meet the target landing time, 2.85 + 5% second.
