Process Monitoring of Abrasive Flow Machining Using a Neural Network Predictive Model
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses the preliminary development of a neural network based process monitor and off-line controller for abrasive flow machining of automotive engine intake manifolds. The process is only observable indirectly, yet the time at which machining achieves the specified air flow rate must be estimated accurately. A neural network model is used to estimate when the process has achieved air flow specification so that machining can be terminated. This model uses surrogate process parameters as inputs because of the inaccessibility of the product parameter of interest, air flow rate through the manifold.

متن کاملRejection of the Feed-Flow Disturbances in a Multi-Component Distillation Column Using a Multiple Neural Network Model-Predictive Controller
This article deals with the issues associated with developing a new design methodology for the nonlinear model-predictive control (MPC) of a chemical plant. A combination of multiple neural networks is selected and used to model a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) process with time delays. An optimization procedure for a neural MPC algorithm based on this model is then developed. T...
متن کاملCascade-Correlation Neural Network Modeling of the Abrasive Flow Machining Process
This paper presents some preliminary work for modeling the abrasive flow machining (AFM) of automotive engine air intake manifolds using a cascade-correlation neural network approach. AFM has not been widely used because of the lack of theoretic support for the complex behavior of the process. Currently, this process can only be monitored subjectively by the plant engineers and is not suited fo...
