... of the CNN models for linking microstructural images to the macroscopic properties of composites. Design/methodology/approach Microstructures of composites are synthesized using discrete element simulations and Potts kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. Macroscopic properties such as the elastic modulus...

... drop-off location that minimizes the strain and maximizes the natural frequency is the ply drop-off located of the end plate. Originality/value It was also noted that many researchers prefer evolutionary algorithms for optimizing composite structures with ply drop-offs, being scarce...
