This study focuses on predicting the dynamic viscosity of nanofluids, specifically Polyalpha-Olefin-hexagonal boron nitride (PAO-hBN) using machine learning models. The primary goal of this research is to assess and contrast the effectiveness of three distinct machine learning models: Support Vector Regression (SVR), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The main objective is the identification of a model that demonstrates the highest level of accuracy in predicting a nanofluid's viscosity namely, PAO-hBN nanofluids.

This paper reviews the flow behavior and mathematical modeling of various metals and alloys at a wide range of temperatures and strain rates. Furthermore, it discusses the effects of strain rate and temperature on flow behavior. Johnson-Cook is a strong phenomenological model that has been used extensively for predictions of the flow behaviors of metals and alloys.

This paper examines the immature rupture of glass fiber reinforced plastic composite (GFRP) mitered elbow pipes. The GFRP composite mitered elbow pipe's lifespan was twenty-five years; however, the pipes in question experienced immature failures, resulting in the reduction of their lifetimes to seven, nine, and ten years, respectively. The GFRP cooling water mitered elbow pipe's service conditions operate at a pressure of up to 7 bar and temperatures between 15-36 °C.

An efficient reliability algorithm is developed to transfer the system reliability problem to a single-component reliability problem, considering the uncertainty of loading cases and the material properties. The main difficulty is that femoral bone densities change after hip arthroplasty and, thus, the mechanical properties of the distinctive bone tissues and, therefore, the corresponding elasticity modulus and yield stress values change. Therefore, taking these changes into account during the hip prosthesis design process is strongly needed.

The aim of this paper is to establish a reliable model that provides the best fit to the specific behavior of the flow stresses of the 10%Cr steel alloy at the time of hot deformation. Modified Johnson-Cook and strain-compensated Arrhenius-type (phenomenological models), in addition to two Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models were established with the view toward investigating their stress prediction performances. The ANN models were trained using Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG) and Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithms.
