A Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Approach for Defect Detection in Fiber-Reinforced Composite SteelsBy Dibya Tripathi, Kheelraj Pandey, Akhilesh Kumar Chauhan, Ashwani Sharma
Abstract: Defect detection in fiber-reinforced composite materials is important for maintaining product quality and ensuring structural reliability. However, manual inspection can be time-consuming and may depend on the experience of the inspector. This study presents a hybrid Convolutional Neural Network–Grey Wolf Optimization (CNN–GWO) approach for automated detection and classification of defects in fiber-reinforced composite materials. The proposed approach combines CNN-based feature learning with GWO-based hyperparameter optimization to improve the selection of …
