Noise prediction of axial piston pump based on different valve materials using a modified artificial neural network model

Abstract In this paper, an alternative method to predict the noise of a submersible Axial Piston Pump (APP) for different valve seat materials is presented. The proposed method is composed of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model trained using experimental data and integrated with a hybrid algorithm consists of Cat Swarm Optimization (CSO) and Firefly Algorithm (FA) algorithms. The hybrid CSFA algorithm is used as a subroutine in the ANN model to estimate the ANN weights. The FA is used as local operator to improve the exploitation ability of CSO. The obtained results prove the excellence of the proposed method in predicting the noise of APP considering four different valve seat materials (Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Aliphatic polyamides (NYLON), and stainless steel (316 L)), five speed levels, and six system pressures. Moreover, the effects of different mechanical properties of the valve seat materials as well as operating conditions (speed and system pressure) have been investigated.
