Abstract

As a result of the growing significance and application of technology across a wide range of fields, digital environments such as Metaverse started to take shape over the span of the previous decade. This study aims to discover an area of engineering that could benefit from this new technology by developing an artificial intelligence (AI)—based approach to analyzing and predicting the mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced syntactic thermoset composites that are made through additive manufacturing (AM). These composites are intended to be utilized as a tool for metaverse technology in a variety of domains—as the presence of the limitations in the currently experimental methods. The metaverse allows for the generation of simulations through the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Consequently, this paves the way for individuals to investigate various design possibilities and view the virtual manifestation of those possibilities. This is made possible by the use of machine learning algorithms, which allow for the monitoring and evaluation of user performance, as well as the provision of individualized feedback and suggestions for improvement. As a consequence of this, it is feasible that professionals will be able to get education and training that are both more efficient and effective. Consequently, this work aims to introduce an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS)—based model, which is able to effectively anticipate the behavior of mechanical systems in a variety of settings without the need for significant measurements. The validity of the ANFIS model was determined through the utilization of flexure and compression testing. The approach that was used to improve the technical assessment of the manufactured composites—is verified by the model’s near-realistic predictions. Moreover, this method is superb for lowering weight, enhancing mechanical qualities, and minimizing product complexity.
