    (Elsevier, 2022) Oulad Brahim, Abdelmoumin; Belaidi, Idir; Fahem, Noureddine; Khatir, Samir; Mirjalili, Seyedali Jamal; Abdel Wahab, Magd M.
    In this paper, a robust technique is presented to predict the peak load and crack initiation energy of dynamic brittle fracture in X70 steel pipes using an improved artificial neural network (IANN). The main objective is to investigate the behaviour of API X70 steel based on two experimental tests, namely Drop Weight Tear Test (DWTT) and the Charpy V-notch impact (CVN), for steel pipe specimens. The mechanical properties in the brittle fracture behaviour of API X70 steel pipes are predicted utilizing numerical approaches with different crack lengths. Next, to simulate the impact of API X70 steel pipes at lower temperatures through a numerical approach, a cohesive approach using the extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) is used. The data obtained are used as input for the proposed IANN using Balancing Composite Motion Optimization (BCMO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Jaya optimization algorithms, to predict the peak load values and crack initiation energy of dynamic brittle fractures in API X70 steel with different crack lengths. The results show the effectiveness of ANN-PSO and ANN-BCMO based on the convergence of the results and the accuracy of the prediction of the peak load and crack initiation energy.

    Prediction of resisting force and tensile load reduction in GFRP composite materials using Artificial Neural Network-Enhanced Jaya Algorithm
    (Elsevier, 2023) Fahem, Noureddine; Belaidi, Idir; Oulad Brahim, Abdelmoumin; Noori, Mohammad; Khatir, Samir; Magd, Abdel Wahab
    This work presents an experimental and a numerical studies on the effect of the phenomenon of porosity on the mechanical properties of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP). In a first part, material elaboration, as well as its characterization using a three-point bending test to extract the basic mechanical properties of the material, is considered. In a second part, a finite element model is created to simulate the problem of air bubbles broadly. Several cases of different shapes and sizes are simulated. The results show a significant effect on the reduction of load in both tensile and bending cases as the size of the bubbles increases. Furthermore, the second part includes the application of the Artificial Neural Network-Enhanced Jaya Algorithm (ANN-E JAYA) to predict the reduction of the tensile load as a function of different crack lengths obtained from an Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) model. Next, to verify the accuracy of provided application, a comparison is made with two other applications such as Artificial Neural Network-Jaya Algorithm (ANN-JAYA) and Artificial Neural Network-Particle Swarm Optimization (ANN-PSO). The results of the three algorithms show good convergence, with a slight increase in accuracy for ANN-E JAYA.
