Determination of Elastic and Dissipative Properties of Material Using Combination of FEM and Complex Artificial Neural Networks

This paper describes the application of complex artificial neural networks (CANN) in the inverse identification problem of the elastic and dissipative properties of solids. Additional information for the inverse problem serves the components of the displacement vector measured on the body boundary, which performs harmonic oscillations at the first resonant frequency. The process of displacement measurement in this paper is simulated using calculation of finite element (FE) software ANSYS. In the shown numerical example, we focus on the accurate identification of elastic modulus and quality of material depending on the number of measurement points and their locations as well as on the architecture of neural network and time of the training process, which is conducted by using algorithms RProp, QuickProp.
