Steel Plate Fault Detection using the Fitness Dependent Optimizer and Neural Networks

Detecting faults in steel plates is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of the structures and industrial equipment. Early detection of faults can prevent further damage and costly repairs. This chapter aims at diagnosing and predicting the likelihood of steel plates developing faults using experimental text data. Various machine learning methods such as GWO-based and FDO-based MLP and CMLP are tested to classify steel plates as either faulty or non-faulty. The experiments produced promising results for all models, with similar accuracy and performance. However, the FDO-based MLP and CMLP models consistently achieved the best results, with 100 tested datasets. The other models' outcomes varied from one experiment to another. The findings indicate that models that employed the FDO as a learning algorithm had the potential to achieve higher accuracy with a little longer runtime compared to other algorithms. In conclusion, early detection of faults in steel plates is critical for maintaining safety and reliability, and machine learning techniques can help predict and diagnose these faults accurately.
