Abstract
The difference in the degree of cure of the composite in an autoclave is one of the main characterization parameters of the uniformity of the degree of cure of the composite material. Therefore, it is very important to develop an effective method for predicting the difference in the curing degree of a composite autoclave to improve the uniformity of the curing degree of the composite materials. We researched five machine learning models: a fully connected neural network (FCNN) model, a deep neural network (DNN) model, a radial basis function (RBF) neural network model, a support vector regression (SVR) model and a K-nearest neighbors (KNN) model. We regarded the heating rate, holding time and holding temperature of the composite material’s two holding-stage cure profile as input parameters and established a rapid estimation model of the maximum curing degree difference at any time during the molding process. We simulated the molding process of the composite material in an autoclave to obtain the maximum difference in the curing degree as the test sample data to train five machine learning models and compared and verified the different models after the training. The results showed that the RBF neural network model had the best prediction effect among the five models and the RBF was the most suitable algorithm for this model.
