The computational intelligence tool has major contribution to analyse the properties of materials without much experimentation. The B4C particles are used to improve the quality of the strength of materials. With respect to the percentage of these particles used in the micro and nano, composites may fix the mechanical properties. The different combinations of input parameters determine the characteristics of raw materials. The load, content of B4C particles with 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% will determine the wear behaviour like CoF, wear rate etc. The properties of materials like stress, strain, % of elongation and impact energy are studied. The temperature based CoF and wear rate is analysed. The temperature may vary between 30°C, 100°C and 200°C. In addition, the CoF and wear rate of materials are predicted with respect to load, weight % of B4C and nano hexagonal boron nitride %. The intelligent tools like Neural Networks (BPNN, RBNN, FL and Decision tree) are applied to analyse these characteristics of micro / nano composites with the inclusion of B4C particles and nano hBN % without physically conducting the experiments in the Lab. The material properties will be classified with respect to the range of input parameters using the computational model.
Reliable monitoring for detection of damage in epicyclic gearboxes is a serious concern for all industries
in which these gearboxes operate in a harsh environment and in variable operational conditions. In this
paper, autonomous multidimensional novelty detection algorithms are used to estimate the gearbox’ health
state based on vectors of features calculated from the vibration signal. The authors examine various feature
vectors, various sources of data and many different damage scenarios in order to compare novel detection
algorithms based on three different principles of operation: a distance in the feature space, a probability
distribution, and an ANN (artificial neural network)-based model reconstruction approach. In order to compensate
for non-deterministic results of training of neural networks, which may lead to different network
performance, the ensemble technique is used to combine responses from several networks. The methods are
tested in a series of practical experiments involving implanting a damage in industrial epicyclic gearboxes,
and acquisition of data at variable speed conditions.
