Development of family of artificial neural networks for the prediction of cutting tool condition
Obrad Spaić, Zdravko Krivokapić, Davorin Kramar, 2020, original scientific article

Abstract: Recently, besides regression analysis, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are increasingly used to predict the state of tools. Nevertheless, simulations trained by cutting modes, material type and the method of sharpening twist drills (TD) and the drilling length from sharp to blunt as input parameters and axial drilling force and torque as output ANN parameters did not achieve the expected results. Therefore, in this paper a family of artificial neural networks (FANN) was developed to predict the axial force and drilling torque as a function of a number of influencing factors. The formation of the FANN took place in three phases, in each phase the neural networks formed were trained by drilling lengths until the drill bit was worn out and by a variable parameter, while the combinations of the other influencing parameters were taken as constant values. The results of the prediction obtained by applying the FANN were compared with the results obtained by regression analysis at the points of experimental results. The comparison confirmed that the FANN can be used as a very reliable method for predicting tool condition.

Comparison of artificial neural network, fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm for cutting temperature and surface roughness prediction during the face milling process
Borislav Savković, Pavel Kovač, D. Rodic, Branko Strbac, Simon Klančnik, 2020, original scientific article

Abstract: This paper shows the possibility of applying artificial intelligence methods in milling, as one of the most common machining operations. The main goal of the research is to obtain reliable intelligent models for selected output characteristics of the milling process, depending on the input parameters of the process: depth of cut, cutting speed and feed to the tooth. One of the problems is certainly determining the value of input parameters of the processing process depending on the objective function, i.e. the output characteristics of the milling process. The selected objective functions in this paper are the temperature in the cutting zone and arithmetic mean roughness of the machined surface. The paper examines the accuracy of three models based on artificial intelligence, obtained through artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, and genetic algorithms. Based on the mean percentage error of deviation, conclusions were drawn as to which of the three models is most adequately applied and implemented in appropriate process systems, which are based on artificial intelligence.

Estimating the position and orientation of a mobile robot using neural network framework based on combined square-root cubature Kalman filter and simultaneous localization and mapping
D. Wang, 2020, original scientific article

Abstract: The real-time performance of target tracking, detection, and positioning behaves not well for non-Gaussian and nonlinear model with circumstance uncertainty. The weak observability of the system under large noise causes the algorithm unstable and slow to converge. A new estimation algorithm combining square-root cubature Kalman filter (SRCKF) with simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is proposed. By connecting neural network weights, network input, functional types and ideal output network, the algorithm firstly update iteratively the SRCKF-SLAM state model and observation model, then conduct the cubature point estimate (weights) neural network framework. Thus, a point set better representing the target state and a more accurate state estimation are achieved, which can improve the filtering accuracy. This paper also estimates robot and characteristic states by filtering in groups. The simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm is feasible and effective. Compared with other filtering algorithms such as SRUKF and SRCDKF, it improves the estimation accuracy. Applying the new algorithm to the position filtering estimation of mobile robot can effectively reduce the positioning error, achieve high-precision tracking detection, and improve the accuracy of robot target detection.

Contour maps for simultaneous increase in yield strength and elongation of hot extruded aluminum alloy 6082
Iztok Peruš, Goran Kugler, Simon Malej, Milan Terčelj, 2022, original scientific article

Abstract: In this paper, the Conditional Average Estimator artificial neural network (CAE ANN) was used to analyze the influence of chemical composition in conjunction with selected process parameters on the yield strength and elongation of an extruded 6082 aluminum alloy (AA6082) profile. Analysis focused on the optimization of mechanical properties as a function of casting temperature, casting speed, addition rate of alloy wire, ram speed, extrusion ratio, and number of extrusion strands on one side, and different contents of chemical elements, i.e., Si, Mn, Mg, and Fe, on the other side. The obtained results revealed very complex non-linear relationships between all of these parameters. Using the proposed approach, it was possible to identify the combinations of chemical composition and process parameters as well as their values for a simultaneous increase of yield strength and elongation of extruded profiles. These results are a contribution of the presented study in comparison with published research results of similar studies in this field. Application of the proposed approach, either in the research and/or in industrial aluminum production, suggests a further increase in the relevant mechanical properties.

CAE artificial neural network applied to the design of incrementally launched prestressed concrete bridges
Tomaž Goričan, Milan Kuhta, Iztok Peruš, 2025, original scientific article

Abstract: Bridges are typically designed by reputable, specialized engineering and design companies with years of experience. In these firms, experienced engineers share and pass on their knowledge to younger colleagues. However, when these experts retire, some of the knowledge is lost forever. As a subset of artificial intelligence methods, artificial neural networks (ANNs) can solve the problem of acquiring, transferring, and preserving specialized expert knowledge. This article describes the possible application of CAE ANN to acquire knowledge and to assist in the design of incrementally launched prestressed concrete bridges. Therefore, multidimensional graphs in the form of iso-curves of equal values were created, allowing practicing engineers to understand complex relationships between design parameters. The graphs also contain information about the reliability of the results, which is defined by an estimated parameter. The general rule is that results based on a larger number of actual data points are more reliable. Finally, an ANN BD assistant is proposed as an application that assists engineers and designers in the early stages of design and/or established engineers and designers in variant studies and design parameter optimization.

New approach for automated explanation of material phenomena (AA6082) using artificial neural networks and ChatGPT
Tomaž Goričan, Milan Terčelj, Iztok Peruš, 2024, original scientific article

Abstract: Artificial intelligence methods, especially artificial neural networks (ANNs), have increasingly been utilized for the mathematical description of physical phenomena in (metallic) material processing. Traditional methods often fall short in explaining the complex, real-world data observed in production. While ANN models, typically functioning as “black boxes”, improve production efficiency, a deeper understanding of the phenomena, akin to that provided by explicit mathematical formulas, could enhance this efficiency further. This article proposes a general framework that leverages ANNs (i.e., Conditional Average Estimator—CAE) to explain predicted results alongside their graphical presentation, marking a significant improvement over previous approaches and those relying on expert assessments. Unlike existing Explainable AI (XAI) methods, the proposed framework mimics the standard scientific methodology, utilizing minimal parameters for the mathematical representation of physical phenomena and their derivatives. Additionally, it analyzes the reliability and accuracy of the predictions using well-known statistical metrics, transitioning from deterministic to probabilistic descriptions for better handling of real-world phenomena. The proposed approach addresses both aleatory and epistemic uncertainties inherent in the data. The concept is demonstrated through the hot extrusion of aluminum alloy 6082, where CAE ANN models and predicts key parameters, and ChatGPT explains the results, enabling researchers and/or engineers to better understand the phenomena and outcomes obtained by ANNs.

Accuracy is not enough: optimizing for a fault detection delay
Matej Šprogar, Domen Verber, 2023, original scientific article

Abstract: This paper assesses the fault-detection capabilities of modern deep-learning models. It highlights that a naive deep-learning approach optimized for accuracy is unsuitable for learning fault-detection models from time-series data. Consequently, out-of-the-box deep-learning strategies may yield impressive accuracy results but are ill-equipped for real-world applications. The paper introduces a methodology for estimating fault-detection delays when no oracle information on fault occurrence time is available. Moreover, the paper presents a straightforward approach to implicitly achieve the objective of minimizing fault-detection delays. This approach involves using pseudo-multi-objective deep optimization with data windowing, which enables the utilization of standard deep-learning methods for fault detection and expanding their applicability. However, it does introduce an additional hyperparameter that needs careful tuning. The paper employs the Tennessee Eastman Process dataset as a case study to demonstrate its findings. The results effectively highlight the limitations of standard loss functions and emphasize the importance of incorporating fault-detection delays in evaluating and reporting performance. In our study, the pseudo-multi-objective optimization could reach a fault-detection accuracy of 95% in just a fifth of the time it takes the best naive approach to do so.
