Abstract

Abstract

The influence of Borax/SiC
content on the tensile modulus of Carbon/epoxy and Kevlar/epoxy composites was analyzed
using artificial neural network approach with six neuron in one hidden layer in
this study. The correlation coefficient, R2, mean square error and mean
absolute error was used to state the performance and error evaluation criteria
of the proposed model/system.  Borax and
SiC ratios was changed between 0 and 10%. Addition of SiC caused to an increase
on the tensile modulus of Carbon/epoxy and Kevlar/epoxy composites but Borax
addition induced the decrease of it of these composites.

Keywords

Tensile modulus, ANN, Composite, Kevlar
