A Neural-Network Model for Prediction of Damage Initiation Force in Mode 1

Delamination of Composite Materials

Z. Ebrahimi Mechanical Engineering , Payame Noor University, Tehran, Iran

M. Bahrami Rahnam Mechanical Engineering , Payame Noor University, Tehran, Iran

Abstrac
In this paper, an artificial neural network model is presented to investigate the crack propagation in composite materials under
vertical loading mode. A Finite Element model is developed, using ABAQUS software, to simulate the delamination in composite
structures under mode 1 loading. A series of mode 1 simulations are carried out for different initial crack lengths and specimen
thicknesses. The crack initiation force is calculated for each simulation from the related force-displacement curve. To validate the
Finite Element model, the force-displacement curve of a numerical test is compared with the corresponding experimental curve.
These data are used later to develop the artificial neural network model, which is capable of predicting the crack initiation force in
mode 1 test. The network has two input neurons, which are the initial crack length and the specimen thickness and the crack
initiation force is evaluated in the output layer. The good performance of the neural network is shown by comparing its results with
finite element simulations. The good agreement between the targets and outputs in the regression plots, indicates that the network
response is satisfactory.
Keyword: Neural network, Delamination, Composite materials, Finite element model.
