The finite element analysis in theory of elasticity is corresponded to the quadratic programming with equality constraint, which can be further transformed into the unconstrained optimization. In the paper, the question is solved by modified Hopfield neural network based on the energy function of the neural network equals to the objective function of the finite element method and the minimum point, which is the stable equilibrium point of the network system, is the solution. In addition the authors present the computer simulation and analogue circuit experiment to verify this method. The results are revealed that: 1) The results of improved Hopfield neural network are reliable and accuracy; 2) The improved Hopfield neural network model has an advantage on circuit realization and the computing time, which is unrelated with complexity of the structure, is constant. It is practical significance for the research and calculation.

Modeling and simulation are indispensable when dealing with complex engineering systems. This study deals with intelligent techniques modeling for linear response of suspension arm. The finite element analysis and Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) technique is used to predict the response of suspension arm. The linear static analysis was performed utilizing the finite element analysis code. The neural network model has 3 inputs representing the load, mesh size and material while 4 output representing the maximum displacement, maximum Principal stress, von Mises and Tresca. Finally, regression analysis between finite element results and values predicted by the neural network model was made. It can be seen that the RBFNN proposed approach was found to be highly effective with least error in identification of stress-displacement of suspension arm. Simulated results show that RBF can be very successively used for reduction of the effort and time required to predict the stress-displacement response of suspension arm as FE methods usually deal with only a single problem for each run.

Kertas kerja ini memaparkan kajian berkenaan keberkesanan Artificial Neural Network (ANN) dalam mengenal pasti kerosakan di dalam struktur. Data dari getaran seperti frekuensi semula jadi dan mod bentuk digunakan sebagai data masukan bagi ANN untuk meramalkan lokasi dan tahap kerosakan bagi struktur lantai. Analisis unsur terhingga (Finite Element Analysis) telah digunakan untuk memperoleh ciri–ciri dinamik bagi struktur–struktur rosak dan tidak rosak untuk ‘melatih’ model ‘neural network’. Senario kerosakan yang berbeza disimulasikan dengan mengurangkan kekukuhan elemen pada lokasi yang berbeza sepanjang struktur tersebut. Berbagai kombinasi data masukan bagi mod yang berbeza telah digunakan untuk memperolehi model ANN yang terbaik. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan ANN mampu memberikan keputusan yang baik dalam meramal kerosakan pada struktur lantai tersebut. Kata kunci: Ramalan kerosakan struktur, Artificial Neural Network This paper investigates the effectiveness of artificial neural network (ANN) in identifying damages in structures. Global (natural frequencies) and local (mode shapes) vibration–based data has been used as the input to ANN for location and severity prediction of damages in a slab–like structure. A finite element analysis has been used to obtain the dynamic characteristics of intact and damaged structure to train the neural network model. Different damage scenarios have been introduced by reducing the local stiffness of the selected elements at different locations along the structure. Several combinations of input variables in different modes have been used in order to obtain a reliable ANN model. The trained ANN model is validated using laboratory test data. The results show that ANN is capable of providing acceptable result on damage prediction of tested slab structure. Key words: Structural damage detection, artificial neural network
