Abstract
In this paper, a method for robust design of a neural network (NN) model for prediction of delamination (Da), damage width (Dw), and hole surface roughness (Ra) during drilling in carbon fiber reinforced epoxy (BMS 8-256) is presented. This method is based on a parametric analysis of neural network models using a design of experiments approach. The effects of number of neurons (N), hidden layers (L), activation function (AF), and learning algorithm (LA) on the mean square error (MSE) of model prediction are quantified. Using the aforementioned method, a robust NN model was developed that predicted process-induced damage with high accuracy.
