Deep learning-driven optimization and predictive modeling of LASER beam machining for XG3 steel Adithya Hegde, Raviraj Shetty, Gururaj Bolar, V Balaji Scientific Reports, 2026 LASER Beam Machining (LBM) has emerged as a highly precise and non-contact thermal machining process, widely adopted for cutting complex geometries in advanced engineering materials. Its ability to machine difficult-to-cut alloys with minimal mechanical stress makes it particularly suitable for aerospace and defense components. This paper presents an experimental investigation and multi-objective optimization of LASER Beam Machining (LBM) for XG3 steel, a high-performance alloy used in aerospace and defense applications. The study evaluates the impact of four process parameters i.e. cutting speed (8, 10, 12 m/min), gas pressure (0.5, 0.7, 0.9 Bar), focus point (2, 4, 6 mm), and depth of cut (3, 6, 9 mm) on four output responses: surface roughness, machining time, surface hardness, and burr thickness. Experiments were conducted using a Taguchi L 27 orthogonal array on three distinct hole geometries: circular, triangular, and square. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) revealed that cutting speed was the most dominant factor, contributing over 82% to the variation in surface roughness, 74% for machining time, 81% for surface hardness, and 84% for burr thickness. The interaction between cutting speed and depth of cut was also found to be statistically significant. For single-objective optimization, the ideal parameters to minimize surface roughness were a cutting speed of 12 m/min, gas pressure of 0.5 bar, focus point of 2 mm, and depth of cut of 3 mm. Multi-objective optimization using a Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) generated Pareto fronts to identify balanced trade-off solutions; for a circular profile, this resulted in surface roughness values of 1.10–1.16 μm and machining times of 2.44–2.52 s. Furthermore, two predictive models, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and a Back-Propagation Artificial Neural Network (BPANN), were developed. Comparative analysis showed the BPANN model was significantly more accurate, with regression coefficients (R) exceeding 0.999 and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) values of 1.48% for surface roughness and 0.72% for surface hardness, confirming its superior predictive capability.
Statistical Multi-Response Optimization and Prediction of Abrasive Water Jet Machining Process Parameters for HRS Fiber/CNT/Epoxy Hybrid Composites Supriya P, Raviraj Shetty, Gururaj Bolar, Rajesh Nayak, Sawan Shetty, Adithya Hegde Journal of Composites Science, 2026 This paper investigates the AWJ machinability of Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis/carbon nanotube (CNT) fiber/epoxy-based hybrid composites by analyzing key machinability metrics such as kerf width (KW), material removal rate (MRR), and surface roughness (Ra). Various process parameters including CNT weight percentage, CNT diameter, stand-off distance, and traverse speed have been varied to optimize the machining performance. Experimental analysis suggested that increasing the CNT weight percentage significantly enhanced material hardness, thereby reducing both the MRR and surface roughness. Moreover, adjusting the stand-off distance and traverse speed further improved the machinability of the composite. ANOVA results highlighted that CNT weight percentage was a significant factor, accounting for 94.17% of the variation in MRR and 93.72% of the variation in surface finish, while the stand-off distance influenced 87.03% of the variation in kerf width. Additionally, response surface methodology (RSM) was utilized to develop predictive models that estimated KW, MRR, and Ra with error rates of 2.95%, 2.23%, and 5.65%, respectively. These insights offer a valuable framework for tailoring the AWJ process to achieve optimal machining outcomes in HRS/CNT/epoxy composite materials
Thermal and mesomorphic behavior of hydrogen-bonded liquid crystals of new pyridine derivatives Suma Ramachandra Gopady, V. N. Vijayakumar, Raviraj Shetty, Mallikarjun Bhavanari, Srinivasulu Maddasani Discover Applied Sciences, 2026 The fascinating supramolecular structures formed through intermolecular hydrogen bonding (HB) interactions have gained importance in materials and biological science research. Pyridine-infused molecular units are more prone to form HB interactions with other moieties, such as carboxylic acids, alcohols, and thiols. In this study, new mesomorphic materials with large thermal spans and towards ambient temperatures were synthesized through hydrogen bonding interactions. New pyridine derivative of Schiff’s base with dihalo substituents was prepared and used to form intermolecular HB interactions with 4- n -alkyloxybenzoic acids ( n OBAs). The 4- n -alkyloxybenzoic acids ( n OBAs) are inherently mesomorphic, whereas the new pyridine derivative is non-mesogenic. The 1:1 binary mixtures of pyridine derivative and n OBAs were found to involve HB interactions, and the inherent mesomorphism of the n OBAs varied. The nematic and smectic-C mesophases of n OBAs are quenched, and the smectic-A mesophase is induced at ambient temperatures. Infrared spectroscopy was used to ascertain the intermolecular HB interactions and polarizing optical microscopy (POM) in conjunction with a temperature controller and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to ascertain the mesomorphism and phase transition temperatures, respectively. The mesomorphic thermal spans were found to be stabilized in the present study as the chain length of carboxylic acids increased. The melting and clearing temperatures of the complexes were lower than those of the n OBAs. This research promotes knowledge-sharing and multi-stakeholder collaboration, aligning with SDG 17 objectives
Multi-Response Optimization of Thermal Conductivity and Rheological Behavior in Nanoparticle-Enhanced Vegetable Oil Emulsions Vishal Shenoy P, Vijay Kini M, Raghuvir Pai B, Srinivas Shenoy Heckadka, Raviraj Shetty, Supriya J. P, Adithya Hegde Journal of Composites Science, 2026 In metal cutting industries, optimizing the thermal conductivity and viscosity of vegetable oil-based cutting fluids is critical for ensuring efficient heat dissipation, effective lubrication, and sustainability, directly influencing tool life and machining performance. This study presents a comprehensive experimental analysis employing statistical methods, particularly Taguchi’s Design of Experiments, to evaluate the thermal conductivity and viscosity of Pongamia pinnata, sunflower, and coconut oil incorporated with Silicon Dioxide (SiO2), Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN), and Cupric Oxide (CuO) nanoparticles across different emulsion ratios and nanoparticle volume fractions. The results revealed that Pongamia pinnata oil containing 0.5 (Vol.%) SiO2 nanoparticles at an emulsion ratio of 1:7 achieved the maximum thermal conductivity, measured at 0.637 W/mK. Additionally, the results revealed that Pongamia pinnata oil at an emulsion ratio of 1:13 exhibited the highest viscosity of 1.33 mPa·S, confirming that both the type of cutting oil and the emulsion ratio are the primary factors influencing viscosity. Further, the ANOVA analysis for thermal conductivity and viscosity highlights that the type of cutting fluid is the dominant factor, accounting for 90.58% of the total variance in thermal conductivity and 70.47% in viscosity, each with a highly significant p-value of 0.00, underscoring its decisive impact on the stability of both properties. Overall, this research offers important guidance for the selection and formulation of vegetable oil-based emulsions with nanoparticle additives. The results support the development of advanced nano lubricants with enhanced performance, catering to the increasing requirements of diverse industrial applications.
Multi-scale wear analysis of HRS/CNT hybrid polymer composites using predictive statistical modelling techniques Sawan Shetty, Supriya J. P., Raviraj Shetty, Rajesh Nayak, Gururaj Bolar, Adithya Hegde Cogent Engineering, 2026 This study investigates the mechanical properties of Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis/carbon nanotube (CNT) hybrid polymer composites, aiming to optimize specific wear rate and worn surface hardness under varying applied loads, rotational speeds, and CNT weight percentages. ANOVA statistical analysis revealed that the CNT weight percentage is the most critical factor, accounting for over 55% of the variation in both wear rate and hardness. Scanning Electron Microscopy confirmed that a 3 wt.% CNT composition provides the highest wear resistance and surface integrity across all tested loads. Furthermore, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) accurately predicted these wear behaviors, showing average errors of less than 3% for specific wear rate and under 7% for worn surface hardness. By utilizing desirability function analysis, this research provides a highly reliable framework for optimizing hybrid composites, paving the way for advanced materials that meet industrial demands for durability and performance.
A systematic analysis on the electrospinnability of biocompatible poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) Animita Das, S Anandhan, Chethan K N, Sampath Suranjan Salins, Raviraj Shetty, Sawan Shetty Engineering Research Express, 2025 Fine-tuning electrospun nanofibers is crucial for producing high-quality fibers. Taguchi Design of Experiment (DOE), along with various other computational techniques, has been used to optimize the electrospinning parameters of different polymers. Taguchi DOE has proven effective in optimizing electrospun nanofibers because it reduces the number of trials needed. In this study, the electrospinning parameters of poly (butylene adipate- co -terephthalate) (PBAT) were optimized and quantified using the Taguchi-based Response Surface Methodology (RSM) approach. The average fiber diameters were measured from Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) images using ImageJ software. Within the tested range of parameters and levels, the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) study identified polymer concentration and flow rate as the most significant factors that influenced the fiber diameter. Polymer concentration accounting 56.94% of the variation, while Flow Rate (FR) accounts for 20.82%. The optimal parameter levels were predicted to be 10 wt% polymer concentration, 1 ml h −1 flow rate, 18 kV voltage, and a distance from tip to target of 15 cm, which yielded fibers with an average diameter of 231 nm and an accuracy of 88.61%. Overall, the results demonstrate that Taguchi DOE, coupled with RSM, is a reliable and efficient method for identifying the optimal parameter combinations to produce uniform, fine PBAT nanofibers intended for biomedical applications.
A synergistic approach for thermal characteristic analysis of hibiscus rosa-sinensis/carbon nano-tubes/epoxy based hybrid composites using soft computing techniques Supriya J P, Raviraj Shetty, Sawan Shetty, Rajesh Nayak, Gururaj Bolar, Adithya Hegde Materials Research Express, 2025 This study examines the thermal properties and combustion behavior of HRS/CNT hybrid polymer composites, focusing on how variations in CNT weight percentage, CNT diameter, sonication time, and composite thickness affect thermal conductivity, degradation temperature, and burning rate. The experimental results demonstrate that a CNT weight percentage of 3% significantly enhances thermal conductivity, achieving a maximum value of 0.985 W m −1 ·K, while also elevating the thermal degradation temperature to a peak of 457 °C. These enhancements are due to the effective formation of a CNT network that facilitates efficient heat transfer and increases thermal stability. Larger CNT diameters, specifically 3 nm, contribute to improved thermal and flame-retardant properties, resulting in a reduced burning rate of 5.18 mm min −1 compared to 11 mm/min for composites with 1% CNT and 1 nm diameter. Optimal sonication time at 60 min ensures uniform CNT dispersion within the polymer matrix, further enhancing thermal conductivity and reducing burning rates. Additionally, thicker composites (20 mm) exhibit lower burning rates and higher thermal degradation temperatures, serving as more effective thermal barriers. BPANN prediction is succesfully applied with a neglegible error of 0.15% compared with 0.68% error of RSM predictions. This research provides valuable insights into the design and optimization of polymer composites with tailored thermal and combustion properties, offering potential applications in fields requiring high thermal stability and flame resistance.
Computational optimization of 3D printed bone scaffolds using orthogonal array-driven FEA and neural network modeling Amulya Shetty, Aamirah Fathima, B Anika, Raviraj Shetty, Vinyas, J.P. Supriya, Adithya Hegde Scientific Reports, 2025 Today, orthopedic surgeons have been continuously focusing on bone tissue engineering for regenerating damaged bone through the use of biomimetic scaffolds and innovative materials. Hence, this study presents a comprehensive investigation into the optimization of PLA + 3D printed lattice scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications, emphasizing the role of geometric configuration and processing parameters on mechanical performance. Three distinct lattice geometries such as Lidinoid, Diamond, and Gyroid were developed with varying wall thicknesses (1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2.0 mm) and subjected to compressive loads of 3 kN, 6 kN, and 9 kN. A Taguchi L27 Orthogonal Array was employed to evaluate key mechanical responses, including displacement and strain. Among these configurations, the Gyroid lattice exhibited superior mechanical integrity, demonstrating the least displacement (0.36 mm) and strain (1.2 × 10⁻²) at 3 kN with 2.0 mm thickness, whereas the Lidinoid structure showed the highest deformability. A Back-propagation Artificial Neural Network (BPANN) model was developed to predict scaffold behavior with remarkable accuracy (R² = 0.9991 for displacement, R² = 0.9954 for strain), further Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was conducted to validate both experimental and predicted results. The novelty of this work lies in its integrative, multi-modal approach that synergizes experimental design, machine learning-based predictive modeling, and simulation. The focus of this study is to define a robust framework for optimizing scaffold architecture, with significant implications for enhancing mechanical strength and biological performance in bone healing applications.
Delamination and Its Morphological Study on Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis/Carbon Nano-Tubes/Epoxy Based-Hybrid Composites During Abrasive Water-Jet Machining Using Statistical Optimization Techniques Supriya J. P., Raviraj Shetty, Sawan Shetty, Rajesh Nayak, Adithya Hegde Journal of Composites Science, 2025 The natural fiber-reinforced nanomaterial filler polymer matrix hybrid composite has superior applications in industrial and manufacturing fields due to its enhanced mechanical and machinability characteristics. However, in order to generate high-quality components, unconventional machining techniques, notably abrasive waterjet machining, have become more popular due to the inhomogeneity of composites, fiber pullout, greater surface roughness, and dimensional inaccuracy under traditional machining. Delamination typically refers to the separation that occurs along a plane parallel to the surface, such as the detachment of a coating from its underlying material or the separation between different layers within the coating itself. This paper investigates the AWJM characteristics of Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis/Carbon nanotube/Epoxy (HRSCE)-based hybrid composite, focusing on delamination factors at entry, exit, and machining time. An L27 orthogonal array was employed to optimize process parameters, revealing that DF-entry decreased with increasing CNT (wt.%), achieving its lowest values at 3 (wt.%) CNT and 2 mm stand-off distance due to enhanced composite toughness and precise jet focus. Conversely, DF-exit increased with higher CNT (wt.%), stand-off distance and traverse speed, attributed to the composite’s increased brittleness and reduced cutting efficiency. Machining time was predominantly influenced by CNT (wt.%) (92.4%), increasing with higher reinforcement levels due to enhanced material resistance. Response surface methodology models demonstrated high accuracy in predicting machining outcomes, with errors below 3%. Contour and surface plots identified optimal conditions for minimal delamination and machining time as 3 (wt.%) CNT, low stand-off distance (2 mm), and moderate traverse speed (200 mm/min). The SEM and optimal microscopy analysis confirmed that CNT reinforcement positively influenced fiber matrix interfacial integrity and reduced surface damage.
