Machine Learning-Based Structure–Property Quantification of Advanced Polymer Composites
Abstract: Advanced polymer composites are widely used in high-performance engineering due to their superior mechanical and multifunctional properties. Accurate structure–property quantification is essential for efficient material design and reducing experimental costs. Existing Machine Learning (ML) approaches often exhibit limited predictive generalization due to inadequate feature discrimination and suboptimal hyperparameter tuning. To address these limitations, the proposed method enhances the ability to capture the complex nonlinear interactions among composite structural descriptors. The …

STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOR OF FLEXIBLE AND SEMI-RIGID BEAM-COLUMN JOINT CONNECTIONS BY FEM
Abstract: This study investigates the structural behavior of flexible and semi-rigid beam-column joint connections in cold-formed steel (CFS) structures, focusing on the use of Finite Element Modeling (FEM) to simulate their performance under various loading conditions. Traditional analysis methods often oversimplify beam-column connections, treating them as either perfectly rigid or fully flexible, which does not accurately capture real-world joint behavior. In reality, many beam-column joints exhibit semi-rigid characteristics, where the stiffness …
