Nanoindentation test results on different grain sizes of dual phase (DP) steels are used to train artificial neural networks (ANNs). With selection of ferrite and martensite grain size, martensite volume fraction (MVF), and indentation force as input and microhardness, ferrite, and martensite nanohardness as outputs, six different ANNs are trained according to normalized datasets to predict hardness and their tolerances. A graphical user interface (GUI) is developed for a better investigation of the trained ANN prediction. The response of the ANN is analyzed in five case studies. In each case the variation of two input parameters on the output is analyzed when the other input parameters are kept constant. Reliable and reasonable results of ANN predictions are achieved in each case.

Abstract In this study, fatigue life predictions for the various metal matrix composites, R ratios, notch geometries, and different temperatures have been performed by using artificial neural networks (ANN) approach. Input parameters of the model comprise various materials (M), such as particle size and volume fraction of reinforcement, stress concentration factor (Kt), R ratio (R), peak stress (S), temperatures (T), whereas, output of the ANN model consist of number of failure cycles. ANN controller was trained with Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) learning algorithm. The tested actual data and predicted data were simulated by a computer program developed on MATLAB platform. It is shown that the model provides intimate fatigue life estimations compared with actual tested data.
