To this end, a grinding machine was used, equipped with an acoustic emission sensor and a power transducer connected to the electric motor rotating the diamond grinding wheel. The alumina workpieces used in this work were pressed and sintered into rectangular bars. Acoustic emission and cutting power signals were collected during the tests and digitally processed to calculate the mean, standard deviation, and two other statistical data. These statistics, as well the root mean square of the acoustic emission and cutting power signals were used as input data for ANFIS. The output values of surface roughness (measured during the tests) were implemented for training and validation of the model. The results indicated that an ANFIS network is an excellent tool when applied to predict the surface roughness of ceramic workpieces in the grinding process.329-334engAcoustic emissionANFISCutting powerGrindingNeural networkSurface roughnessAcoustic emission sensorsAdaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systemDiamond grinding wheelPower transducersStandard deviationStatistical datasAcoustic emission testingAcoustic emissionsArtificial intelligenceCeramic materialsForecastingGrinding (machining)Neural networksSintered aluminaSinteringSoft computingTrabalho apresentado em evento10.2316/P.2011.716-005Acesso aberto2-s2.0-84883526299
