When putting the thermodynamic parameters of the metals into the trained network model, the corresponding yielding stress can be predicted. The results show that the systematic error is small when the objective function is 0.5 , the number of the nodes in the hidden layer is 6 and the learning rate is about 0.1 , and the accuracy of the rate error is less than 3%.
