Use of Neural Networks and Artificial Intelligence Tools for Modeling, Characterization, and Forecasting in Material Engineering

This chapter presents the theoretical basis concerning the broad possibilities offered by the contemporary applications of artificial intelligence tools, especially artificial neural networks in the field of material engineering. The examples of own research pursued at the Institute of Engineering Materials and Biomaterials of the Silesian University of Technology, including the modeling and simulation of different properties of engineering materials, are presented. Discussed separately is a pioneering project of implementing artificial neural networks in order to predict the development trends of materials surface engineering.
