Model and Simulation of Evolutionary Algorithms for Probing Carbon Nitride Films

An evolutionary algorithm was used to model and characterize the tribological behaviors of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films deposited by an-unbalanced magnetron. An orthogonal array experiment with carbon nitride multi layer films, with and without Zr additives is introduced and the effects of deposited parameters were systematically explored. The surface properties, such wear properties were measured and modeled comparatively. In this study, the HTGA computations for DLC multi layer films are performed to show significant improvements can be obtained and a satisfactory performance has been achieved. The predicted values and experimental results are close within the experimental domains, thereby justifying the reliability and feasibility of the approach.
