“…In composite materials, AI has been employed for diagnostics and prognostics by using supervised learning meth- ods such as linear models [45][46][47][48], multivariate regression [49], support vector machine (SVM) [47,48,[50][51][52][53][54][55][56], decision trees, boosting and random forests [47,48,57-59], K-nearest algorithms [46,55], polynomial classifiers (PCs) [60, 61]; unsupervised learning methods such as pattern recognition and clustering algorithms [62-66], principal component analysis (PCA) [67][68][69][70], K-means [71][72][73], fuzzy C-means [71,74,75], Kohonen self organizing maps (KSOMs) [68,72,76], parameter correction techniques (PCTs) [77]; and also several combinations of unsupervised with supervised learning as a hybrid ML algorithms [78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85]. Also, artificial neural networks (ANNs) and its modified types [58,76, have been typically employed to model the damage and predict strength and life.…”
