Abstract: In machining, specific cutting forces and temperature fields are of primary interest. These quantities depend on many machining parameters, such as the cutting speed, rake angle, tool-tip radius, and uncut chip thickness. The finite element method (FEM) is commonly used to study the effect of these parameters on the forces and temperatures. However, the simulations are computationally intensive and thus, it is impractical to conduct a simulation-based parametric study for a wide range of parameters. The purpose of this work is to present, as a proof-of-concept, a hybrid methodology that combines the finite element method (FE method) and machine learning (ML) to predict specific cutting forces and maximum tool temperatures for a given set of machining conditions. The finite element method was used to generate the training and test data consisting of machining parameter values and the corresponding specific cutting forces and maximum tool temperatures. The data was then used to build a predictive model based on artificial neural networks. The FE models consist of an orthogonal plane-strain machining model with the workpiece being made of the Aluminum alloy Al 2024-T351. The finite element package Abaqus/Explicit was used for the simulations. Specific cutting forces and maximum tool temperatures were calculated for several different combinations of uncut chip thickness, cutting speed and the rake angle. For the machine learning-based predictive models, artificial neural networks were selected. The neural network modeling was performed using Python with Adam as the training algorithm. Both shallow neural networks (SNN) and deep neural networks (DNN) were built and tested with various activation functions (ReLU, ELU, tanh, sigmoid, linear) to predict specific cutting forces and maximum tool temperatures. The optimal neural network architecture along with the activation function that produced the least error in prediction was identified. By comparing the neural network predictions with the experimental data available in the literature, the neural network model is shown to be capable of accurately predicting specific cutting forces and temperatures.

Electronic Transactions on Numerical Analysis (ETNA) is an electronic journal for the publication of significant new developments in numerical analysis and scientific computing. Papers of the highest quality that deal with the analysis of algorithms for the solution of continuous models and numerical linear algebra are appropriate for ETNA, as are papers of similar quality that discuss implementation and performance of such algorithms. New algorithms for current or new computer architectures are appropriate provided that they are numerically sound. However, the focus of the publication should be on the algorithm rather than on the architecture. The journal is published by the Kent State University Library in conjunction with the Institute of Computational Mathematics at Kent State University, and in cooperation with the Johann Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Mathematics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (RICAM). Reviews of all ETNA papers appear in Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt für Mathematik. Reference information for ETNA papers also appears in the expanded Science Citation Index. ETNA is registered with the Library of Congress and has ISSN 1068-9613. …
