In this theoretical study, the prediction of the corrosion resistance and age-hardening behavior of an Al/TiC functional gradient material (FGM) has been investigated by using the artificial neural network (ANN). The input parameters have been selected as TiC volume fraction of the composite layers, aging periods of the composite, environmental conditions, and applied potential during the corrosion tests. Current and microhardness were used as the one output in the proposed network. Also, a new three-layered composite has been imaginarily designed to demonstrate the predictive capability and flexibilities of the ANN model as a case study. Artificially aging (T6) process and potentiodynamic scanning (PDS) tests were used for heat-treating and corrosion response of the FGS, respectively. The results showed that the generated PDS curves of the FGM and calculated corrosion parameters of the case study are quite near and in acceptable limits for similar composites obtained values in experimental studies. Besides, this study has been a great success in predicting peak-aging times and its corresponding hardness values more precisely.

In this work we present the results obtained with an artificial neural network (ANN) which we trained to predict the expected output of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) process, while exploring a multi-dimensional parameter space. We argue on the utility and efficiency of the ANN model and demonstrate its ability to predict the outcome of HHG simulations. In this case study we present the results for a loose focusing HHG beamline, where the changing parameters are: the laser pulse energy, gas pressure, gas cell position relative to focus and medium length. The physical quantity which we predict here using ANN is directly related to the total harmonic yield in a specified spectral domain (20–40 eV). We discuss the versatility and adaptability of the presented method.

Artificial neural network (ANN) is one of the practical methods for prediction in various sciences. In this study, which was carried out on Glass and Crystal Factory in Isfahan, the amount of silica purification used in industry has been investigated according to its analyses. In this discussion, according to the artificial neural network algorithm back propagation neural network (BPNN), the amount of silica (SiO2) was predicted according to rock main oxides in chemical analysis. These studies can be used as a criterion for estimating the purity for use in the factory due to the high accuracy obtained.
