Abstract

This work presents an experimental and a numerical studies on the effect of the phenomenon of porosity on the mechanical properties of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP). In a first part, material elaboration, as well as its characterization using a three-point bending test to extract the basic mechanical properties of the material, is considered. In a second part, a finite element model is created to simulate the problem of air bubbles broadly. Several cases of different shapes and sizes are simulated. The results show a significant effect on the reduction of load in both tensile and bending cases as the size of the bubbles increases. Furthermore, the second part includes the application of the Artificial Neural Network-Enhanced Jaya Algorithm (ANN-E JAYA) to predict the reduction of the tensile load as a function of different crack lengths obtained from an Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) model. Next, to verify the accuracy of provided application , a comparison is made with two other applications such as Artificial Neural Network-Jaya Algorithm (ANN-JAYA) and Artificial Neural Network-Particle Swarm Optimization (ANN-PSO). The results of the three algorithms show good convergence, with a slight increase in accuracy for ANN-E JAYA. MATLAB code and data used in this article can be found at https://github.com/Samir-Khatir/GFRP-ANN-E-JAYA.git. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
