Abstract :
Previous extensive laboratory pultrusion trials and materials analysis yielded a rich data set. This paper details various representations of this data set in alternate artificial neural networks (ANN). The authors examine the effectiveness of the various ANN process models. A number of existing mathematical pultrusion models are discussed. Further, hybrid process models were developed which gave novel insight into various relationships between inter-process variables
