An artificial neural network model of the Chemical Vapor Deposition Processes for Carbon – Carbon composites.
Journal Title: Carbon - Science and Technology - Year 2008, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
A model of artificial neural network (ANN) is developed for the analysis of the correlation between the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processing parameters and the densification of carbon - carbon (C/C) composites. The input parameters of the ANN model are the manipulative temperature, the density of carbon fiber preforms and the flow rate of acetylene. The output of the ANN model is the density of C/C composites. With the aid of the ANN model, the effects of the CVD processing parameters on the densification of C/C composites are discussed and the relationship between the process conditions and the microstructure of pyrocarbon is discussed as well.

Mechanical behavior of chemically treated Jute/Polymer composites
Fiber which serves as a reinforcement in reinforced plastics may be synthetic or natural past studies show that only artificial fibers such as glass, carbon etc., have been used in fiber reinforced plastics. Although gla...
Development of new metal matrix composite electrodes for electrical discharge machining through powder metallurgy process
Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the widely used nontraditional machining methods to produce die cavities by the erosive effect of electrical discharges. This method is popular due to the fact that a relati...
Augmenting natural ventilation using solar heat and free cool energy for residential buildings
In many urban buildings ventilation is not sufficient that will increase the temperature and also create unhealthy atmosphere inside the room. In such buildings artificially induced ventilation through freely available e...
