Abstract

This paper discusses Neural Networks as predictor for analyzing of transmission angle of slider-crank mechanism. There are different types of neural network algorithms obtained by using chain rules. The neural network is a feedforward neural network. On the other hand, the slider-crank mechanism is a modified mechanism by using an additional link between connecting rod and crank pin. Through extensive simulations, these neural network models are shown to be effective for prediction and analyzing of a modified slider-crank mechanism's transmission angle.
