Mechanical Performance Forecast for BP Neural Network Materials Optimized by Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

The mechanical properties of steel materials play a crucial role in their design, selection, and application. In order to better predict the mechanical properties through chemical composition and process parameters, this paper uses genetic algorithm to optimize the BP neural network to establish a mechanical property prediction model for steel materials. The model can predict three mechanical properties, including yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation, through chemical composition and process parameters. After optimization by genetic algorithm, the problems of insufficient convergence effect, random initialization of weights and thresholds in the BP neural network model are improved, and the prediction error is significantly reduced. The experimental results show that the GA-BP algorithm model has excellent performance in predicting the mechanical properties of steel materials.
