Abstract

This paper is an endeavor to comprehend an interactive learning process of ultrasonic vibration assisted Electrical Discharge Machining (USEDM) process performance index. The factors influencing the USEDM process are identified and analyzed, through a logical and systematic framework of graph theory and matrix approach. The interdependency of factors are distinguished and examined. A systematic model of USEDM performance index is proposed to utilize graph theoretic approach (GTA). The performance index for USEDM is obtained so from the matrix model and digraphs to comprehend the power of subjective factors affecting. Factors and sub-factors impacting the performance are perceived and collected into five essential groups e.g. flushing, cavitation, abnormal discharge, dimensional accuracy and surface morphology. GTA framework reveals that the flushing, surface morphology and dimensional accuracy impact the basically ascertains, however cavitation effect can in like manner be unequivocal variables for USEDM performance index regard.
