چکیده
The artificial neural network (NN) methodology presented in this paper has been developed for selection of powder and process parameters for Powder Metallurgy (PM) part manufacture. This methodology differs from the statistical modelling of mechanical properties in that it is not necessary to make assumptions regarding the form of the functions relating input and output variables. Employment of a NN approach allows specification of multiple input criterion, and generation of multiple output recommendations. The inputs comprise the required mechanical properties for the PM material. The system employs this data within the NN in order to recommend suitable metal powder compositions and process settings. Comparison of predicted and experimental PM materials data has confirmed the accuracy of the NN approach, for predicting the materials and process settings needed for attainment of required process outcomes. q 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The discrete mathematical representations of graph theory, augmented by theorems of matroid theory, were found to have elements and structures isomorphic with those of many different engineering systems. The properties of the mathematical elements of those graphs and the relations between them are then equivalent to knowledge about the engineering system, and are hence termed “embedded knowledg...
متن کاملRule-base content verification using a digraph-based modelling approach
Ensuring that the content of a rule-base, which is being encoded, is free from problems of consistency, completeness, and conciseness, is necessary to avoid any performance errors that might occur during consultation sessions with the rule-based system. In this paper we have described, formally, content verification of a specific type of rule-base using a digraph-based modelling approach. Throu...
متن کاملIndexing and retrieval in machining process planning using case-based reasoning
To reduce the manufacturing time of a product, one effective way to develop a machining process plan for a new part is to retrieve a relevant case of process planning similar to a new desired part and then adapt the retrieved case to meet the new requirements. This paper proposes a mechanism for retrieval of process planning cases. The core of the retrieval mechanism contains: (1) a feature-bas...
متن کاملNeural network modeling of active devices for use in MMIC design
This work can be classified into three parts: The first part is a multidimensional signal–noise neural network model for a microwave smallsignal transistor. Here the device is modeled by a black box, whose small signal and noise parameters are evaluated through a neural network, based upon the fitting of both these parameters for multiple bias and configuration with their target values. The sec...
