Abstract

This article discusses the possibility and expediency of modeling the kinetic characteristics of the curing process of polymer composites (using carbon fiber as an example) based on the use of artificial neural networks. Using neural network modeling, the dependence of the kinetic function of the polymer composite on its degree of cure was obtained. The neural network operability is compared with experimental data and classical approximation methods.
