“…Conducting a large number of destructive experimental tests is often not possible due to time and economic constraints. The methods for solving such a problem can include the implementation of mathematical modelling [ 21 , 22 ], computer methods such as the finite element method (FEM) [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], the boundary element method (BEM) [ 29 , 30 ], the application of predictive models [ 31 , 32 , 33 ], machine learning methods [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ] and analytical data analysis [ 37 , 38 ]. The models developed by this approach allow the most important relationships between individual parameters and mechanical properties to be determined.…”
