Artificial Neural Network Based Prediction of Impact Loads and Thickness in CFRP and GFRP Composite Laminates
By Gourav Vivek Kulkarni, Ramesh S Sharma, M.N. Vijaya Kumar, Sunith Babu L.

Abstract: Recent technological advancements, particularly the integration of neural networks, have facilitated a predictive approach to complex engineering problems, especially those involving composite materials with directional properties. The scarcity of literature on predicting impact damage using experimental and ultrasonic flaw detection data motivated this study. Experimental assessment of impact damage on carbon fiber/epoxy (CFRP) and glass fiber/epoxy (GFRP) composites was conducted using low-velocity drop weight impact testing. Damage assessment employed an …
