Fuzzy logic (FL) and artificial neural network (ANN) were used to model the mechanical properties of aluminum-5%magnesium (0-0.9 wt%) neodymium. The single input (SI) to the fuzzy logic and artificial neural network models was the percentage weight of neodymium, while the multiple outputs (MO) were average grain size, ultimate tensile strength, yield strength elongation and hardness. The fuzzy logic-based model showed more accurate prediction than the artificial neutral network-based model in terms of the correlation coefficient values (R).展开更多

The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group P21/m with a = 8.859(4), b = 13.684(5), c = 12.290(4) ?, ?= 91.85(2)o, C16H34FeN6NdO7S5, Mr= 782.88, V = 1489(1) ?3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.746 g/cm3, S = 0.906, μ(MoKa) = 2.606 mm-1, F(000) = 788, R = 0.0646 and wR = 0.1654. The slightly distorted square-antiprism eightfold-coordinated Nd(III) and approximately oriented octahedrally sixfold- coordinated Fe(III) are linked by a cyano-bridge group to construct a dinuclear compound. The [Nd(DMSO)5(H2O)2](μ-CN)[Fe(CN)5] species are held together via hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional framework.展开更多
