In the current research, neuro-fuzzy model and regression model was developed to predict Material Removal Rate in Electrical Discharge Machining process for AISI D2 tool steel with copper electrode. Extensive experiments were conducted with various levels of discharge current, pulse duration and duty cycle. The experimental data are split into two sets, one for training and the other for valida...

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is the process of machining electrically conductive materials by using precisely controlled sparks that occur between an electrode and a work piece in the presence of a dielectric fluid. Aluminium metal matrix composites (AMMCs) refer to the class of light weight high performance aluminum ceramic material systems. The reinforcement in AMMCs could be in the f...

When near-threshold electrical stimulation is used to evoke epileptiform discharges in brain slices, a latent period of up to 150 msec elapses before the discharge begins. During this period most neurons are silent, and abnormal electrical activity is difficult to detect with microelectrodes. A fundamental question about epileptiform activity concerns how synchronous discharges arise abruptly i...
