Artificial Neural Network Modelling of Vibration in the Milling of AZ91D Alloy

Abstract

The paper reports the results of artificial neural network modelling of vibration in. a milling process of magnesium alloy AZ91D by a TiAlN-coated carbide tool. Vibrations in machining processes are regarded as an additional, absolute machinability index. The modelling was performed using the so-called “black box” model. The best fit was determined for the input and output data obtained from the machining process. The simulations were performed by the Statistica software using two types of neural networks: RBF (Radial Basis Function) and MLP (Multi-Layered Perceptron).
