Abstract
Design of experiment for the development of stir cast calcium carbonate-reinforced aluminium composite is a search for
optimum combination of material and process control parameters for best physical and mechanical properties. A softcomputing model can accurately learn the complex interactions between process parameters to provide great insights in the
development of this composite. This paper demonstrates and analyses the potential of artificial neural network (ANN) and
Sugeno-type fuzzy inference systems (FIS) for wear behaviour prediction of calcium carbonate-reinforced aluminium
composites. The models were trained with data collected from the experiment. The data consist of filler particle size of
150 lm with weights fractions varied from 0 to 25 wt%, in step of 5. Wear test data at different time of contacts (30, 60,
90, 120 and 150 s) and variable loads of 2.27 N, 4.54 N and 6.80 N were collected, resulting to 120 length vectors.
Comparing the experimental results of wear test with those predicted using the ANN and Sugeno-type FIS, the integration
of calcium carbonate particulate enhanced the wear characteristics of Al matrix up to 200%. On the use of backpropagation neural network with 4–3–1 architecture for wear prediction, the Levenberg–Marquardt training algorithm
performs better. For Sugeno-type FIS, the Gaussian membership function resulted to the best prediction of wear rate. When
ANN and Sugeno-type FIS performance on the test set were analysed based on some statistical parameters, the later
returned an R2 value of 0.9775 as against ANN’s value of 0.3684. The predicted wear rate using ANFIS with Gaussian
membership functions was in good agreement with the experimental values.
