Abstract
- The estimation of cement compressive strength is of great significance in the quality inspections, technological designs, and engineering applications for cement. Compared to destructive methods, the nondestructive estimation approaches save the cost in the manpower and material. However, the existing nondestructive methods have the large error because the used influence factors are difficult to control and the used two-dimensional microstructure images can not reflect the specific spatial structure of the entire cement. In this paper, a novel model is proposed to estimate the cement compressive strength using three-dimensional microstructure images and deep belief network. To reduce the computation consumption induced by three-dimensional images with abundant information, this method extracts image features that reflect the cement hydration state to estimate cement compressive strength. Deep belief network is applied to build the estimation model. Its unique training pattern and flexibility of parameters improve the ability to learn nonlinear relationships between microstructure images and cement compressive strength. Furthermore, the training processes are accelerated on the graphics processing units. The experimental results prove that the proposed method estimates cement compressive strength nondestructively and improves the efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
