A Neural Network Model for Predicting Two Observable Parameters of the Welded Cross Section in Case of Robotic Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents a model of using the artificial neural networks when determining the relations of dependency between the observable parameters and the controllable ones in the case of Robotic Gas Tungsten Arc Welding. The proposed model is based on the direct observation of welded joints, emphasizing on the process variables which have been arranged in the nodes of a neural network. The design of the network intended to achieve an architecture that contains four nodes in the input layer (all of them being controllable parameters) and two nodes in the output layer (one for each observable parameter).
