Abstract
In the current study, we aim to evaluate both microstructural characteristics and economic benefits of composite
structures from supply chain utilizing AI-based method. In this regard, the various aspects of microstructure of composite
materials along with the features of supply chain are discussed and quantified. In addition, the final economic aspects of the
composite materials and are also presented. Based on available data, a designed artificial neural network is utilized for prediction
of both microstructure and economical feature of the composite material. The results indicate that the supply chain could affect
the microstructure of final composite materials which in turn make changes in the mechanical properties and durability of
composite materials.
