Abstract:
Creep deformation is one of the main failure forms for superalloys during service and predicting their creep life and curves is important to evaluate their safety. In this paper, we proposed a back propagation neural networks (BPNN) model to predict the creep curves of MarM247LC superalloy under different conditions. It was found that the prediction errors for the creep curves were within ±20% after using six creep curves for training. Compared with the θ projection model, the maximum error was reduced by 30%. In addition, it is validated that this method is applicable to the prediction of creep curves for other superalloys such as DZ125 and CMSX-4, indicating that the model has a wide range of applicability.

Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete
The sonic test is a common method to determine the dynamic modulus. In this test, a concrete beam, sized either 6 x 6 x 30 inches or 4 x 4 x 20 inches, is clamped at its center. Vibrations are initiated at one end of the beam by an electromagnetic exciter unit powered by...
