Abstract: | Modelling of material behaviour generally involves the development of a mathematical model derived from observations and experimental data. An alternative way discussed in this paper is Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-based modelling which is a subfield of artificial intelligence. The main benefit in using an ANN approach is that the network is built directly from experimental data using the self-organising capabilities of the ANN. In this paper the Two-Parameter Model (TPM) in the fracture of cementitious materials is modelled with a back-propagation ANN. The results of an ANN-based TPM look viable and very promising. |
