Abstract

In this paper, based on the advantages of artificial neural network, such as good tolerance of data noise, strong ability of nonlinear mapping, multi-dimensional input variables, fast operation, low error, etc., a method of using artificial neural network for data prediction is proposed for the research of rail-gun. The results show that it is feasible to use the Back Propagation Neural Network, the Radial Basis Function Neural Network and the General Regression Neural Network to realize the method of prediction and simulation of the rail-gun current and the armature speed curve through relevant parameters. The General Regression Neural Network has superiority in error performance and time cost of neural network training and simulation.
