The traditional mathematical model of shape memory alloy (SMA) is complicated and difficult to program in numerical analysis. The artificial neural network is a nonlinear modeling method which does not depend on the mathematical model and avoids the inevitable error in the traditional modeling method. In this paper, an optimized neural network prediction model of shape memory alloy and its application for structural vibration control are discussed. The superelastic properties of austenitic SMA wires were tested by experiments. The material property test data were taken as the training samples of the BP neural network, and a prediction model optimized by the genetic algorithm was established. By using the improved genetic algorithm, the position and quantity of the SMA wires were optimized in a three-storey spatial structure, and the dynamic response analysis of the optimal arrangement was carried out. The results show that, compared with the unoptimized neural network prediction model of SMA, the optimized prediction model is in better agreement with the test curve and has higher stability, it can well reflect the effect of loading rate on the superelastic properties of SMA, and is a high precision rate-dependent dynamic prediction model. Moreover, the BP network constitutive model is simple to use and convenient for dynamic simulation analysis of an SMA passive control structure. The controlled structure with optimized SMA wires can inhibit the structural seismic responses more effectively. However, it is not the case that the more SMA wires, the better the shock absorption effect. When SMA wires exceed a certain number, the vibration reduction effect gradually decreases. Therefore, the seismic effect can be reduced economically and effectively only when the number and location of SMA wires are properly configured. When four SMA wires are arranged, the acceptable shock absorption effect is obtained, and the sum of the structural storey drift can be reduced by 44.51%.

As the typical particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composite, SiCp/Al composite has low density, high elastic modulus and high thermal conductivity, and is one of the most competitive metal matrix composites. Grinding is the main processing technique of SiCp/Al composite, energy consumption of the grinding process provides guidance for the energy saving, which is the aim of green manufacturing. In this paper, grinding experiments were designed and conducted to obtain the energy consumption of the grinding machine tool. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) BP neural network prediction model was applied in the energy consumption prediction model of SiCp/Al composite in grinding. It showed that the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) BP neural network prediction model has high prediction accuracy. The prediction model of energy consumption based on PSO-BP neural network is helpful in energy saving, which contributes to greening manufacturing.
