Taylor & Francis Composite Materials Technology

An established area in computer science, neural networks have been used with great success in various branches of scientific and technological research ranging from civil engineering, chemical processing, management, agriculture, space study, and manufacturing. However, the study of neural networks in composite material technology is very new and only limited publications are available on the topic. Bringing together the work of leading researchers, this book provides readers with an understanding of the various applications of artificial neural networks in composite material technology. It covers damage detection, design and analysis, mechanical properties, and materials and process selection.
