A Novel Approach for Analyzing the Effects of Almen Intensity on the Residual Stress and Hardness of Shot-Peened (TiB + TiC)/Ti–6Al–4V Composite: Deep Learning

Abstract

In the present study, the experimental data of a shot-peened (TiB + TiC)/Ti–6Al–4V composite with two volume fractions of 5 and 8% for TiB + TiC reinforcements were used to develop a neural network based on the deep learning technique. In this regard, the distributions of hardness and residual stresses through the depth of the materials as the properties affected by shot peening (SP) treatment were modeled via the deep neural network. The values of the TiB + TiC content, Almen intensity, and depth from the surface were considered as the inputs, and the corresponding measured values of the residual stresses and hardness were regarded as the outputs. In addition, the surface coverage parameter was assumed to be constant in all samples, and only changes in the Almen intensity were considered as the SP process parameter. Using the presented deep neural network (DNN) model, the distributions of hardness and residual stress from the top surface to the core material were continuously evaluated for different combinations of input parameters, including the Almen intensity of the SP process and the volume fractions of the composite reinforcements.

Novel GA-Based DNN Architecture for Identifying the Failure Mode with High Accuracy and Analyzing Its Effects on the System

“…This can be carried out by analyzing the outputs of specific layers within the network, particularly the hidden layers where the network learns complex patterns and data representations. Through its multiple layers, DNN has the ability to capture complex features and hierarchies that may not be apparent in the original dataset [12,13]. These advantages include objectivity, stability, speed, scalability, and improved accuracy [14].…”

Influence of Conventional Shot Peening Treatment on the Service Life Improvement of Bridge Steel Piles Subjected to Sea Wave Impact

“…To improve the fatigue life of metallic materials, scientists proved that the two factors of compressive residual stress on the surface and an ultrafine grain in the surface are very effective. This conclusion is due to the fact that the initial damages caused by cyclic loading always appear as surface cracks [17][18][19][20][21]. As a result, fatigue properties can be improved by increasing the surface strength.…”
