Popis: It is suggested to use an artificial neural network as an element of a nonlinear regression model. Based on the Archard–Kragelsky model for the linear (or thickness) wear rate, which assumes its nonlinear power-law dependence on contact pressure and sliding velocity, the ANN-supported regression model has been developed. We show that the back-propagation algorithm can be adopted to train the ANN along with tuning the regression parameters. The model's applicability is illustrated on an example of rice husk ash reinforced aluminum alloy matrix composites, which is available in the literature. It is shown that the ANN-supported regression model has a superior performance compared to a standard ANN model with, at the same time, a much lower number of degrees of freedom.
