This work reports the results of experimental measurements of the sound absorption coefficient of ceramic materials using the principle of acoustic resonators. Subsequently, the values obtained from the measurements were used to train a simulation model of the acoustic behavior of the analyzed material based on artificial neural networks. The possible applications of sound-absorbing materials made with ceramic can derive from aesthetic or architectural needs or from functional needs, as ceramic is a fireproof material resistant to high temperatures. The results returned by the simulation model based on the artificial neural networks algorithm are particularly significant. This result suggests the adoption of this technology to find the finest possible configuration that allows the best sound absorption performance of the material.

Laser marking of ceramic materials is a multivariable non-linear process. Real-time control of the process requires the understanding of system dynamics and parameter interaction. In this work, direct inverse control (DIC) and non-linear predictive control (NPC) based on artificial neural networks were applied. The output variable considered for the laser clay tile-marking process was melt pool temperature. The input quantities investigated were laser power and traverse speed. The results show that the NPC accomplished a better reference tracking than the DIC. It was also found that the beam velocity and laser power could well be used to counteract disturbances.
