One way to enhance the mechanical properties of nanocomposites has been to use different fillers. In this study, ternary hybrid composites of graphene oxide/hydroxyapatite/epoxy resin were investigated. An experimental design was performed based on the central composite design (CCD). Epoxy resin was modified by incorporating different graphene oxide and hydroxyapatite weight from 0 to 0.5 wt.% and 0 to 7 wt.%, respectively. Experimental results showed that Young’s modulus, yield strength and impact strength improved up to 25.64%, 5.95% and 100.05% compared to the neat epoxy resin, respectively. In addition, gene expression programming (GEP), multivariate non-linear regression (MNLR) and fuzzy neural network (FNN) methods were employed to determine the effects of nanoparticles on the mechanical properties. Based on the modelling results, optimization process was investigated by using particle swarm optimization (PSO). Finally, the fracture surface morphologies of the nanocomposites were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy.

In this study, we proposed an interval type-2 fuzzy neural network (IT2FNN) based on an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) method for prediction and control applications. The noise-suppressing ability of the proposed IT2FNN was superior to that of the traditional type-1 fuzzy neural network. We proposed dynamic group cooperative particle swarm optimization (DGCPSO) with superior local search ability to overcome the local optimum problem of traditional PSO. The proposed model and related algorithms were verified through the accuracy of prediction and wall-following control of a mobile robot. Supervised learning was used for prediction, and reinforcement learning was used to achieve wall-following control. The experimental results demonstrated that DGCPSO exhibited superior prediction and wall-following control.
