‘computational time and good reliability. For taining and validating the network the input pattern had to be divided in two sets, one for each phase, The Matlabs toolbox was programmed to divide the input pattem as: the 80% for training the network and the 20% for validating it, Afler these two first phases, the ANNs giving the lowest MSE were chosen as the right predictive instruments, In particular, tool wear data of experiments from 1 to 9 were utilized for these two phases As shown in Table 3, the 3-14-1 (3 neurons for the input layer, 14 neurons for the hidden layer and 1 neuron for the output layer) ANN architecture provided the best results for VB prediction; while the best network for KT prediction isthe 3-7-1 network. ‘A final testing phase was realized using the wear data coming from tests 10, 11 and 12 Table 3 Performances of trsined ad validated ANNs for tool wear parameters prediction ‘Aldo Attanasio eta.

Result discussion ‘Once obtained the models of flank and erater wear by using RMS and ANNs technique, the absolute errors with respect to the mean value of the experimental data, were estimated. Figure 7 shows the absolute errors after 4 cutting time of 7 minutes, when the highest error values were observed. The light grey bars refer to the errors of DOE tests (form 1 to 9 in Figure 2), while the dark grey bas refer to the additional tests (from 10 t0 12 in Figure 2) errors, Naan "air 013 "03s "038 ” 620 Yeti) lease) © Enact of ANNs fe VB (ow fiom) @ Bro of ANNS fe KT Yili) (nl ig 7.
