Abstract: Input-output relationships of an electrical discharge machining process have been determined based on some experimental data (collected according to a non-rotatable and face-centred central composite design) using statistical regression analysis and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system. Three input parameters, such as peak current, pulse-on-time and pulse-duty-factor and two outputs, namely material removal rate and surface roughness have been considered for the said modelling. The performances of the developed models have been checked using some test cases collected through the real experiments. Both single- as well as multi-objective optimisation problems have been formulated and solved using genetic algorithm. A set of optimal input parameters has been identified to ensure the maximum material removal rate and minimum surface roughness. An interesting Pareto-optimal front of solutions has also been obtained.
