Steel wire ropes are frequently subjected to dynamic reciprocal bending movement over sheaves or drums in cranes, elevators, mine hoists, and aerial ropeways. This kind of movement initiates fatigue damage on the ropes. It is a quite significant case to know bending cycles to failure of rope in service which is also known as bending over sheave fatigue lifetime. It helps to take precaution in the plant in advance and eliminate catastrophic accidents due to usage of rope when allowable bending cycles are exceeded. To determine bending fatigue lifetime of ropes, experimental studies are conducted. However, bending over sheave fatigue testing in laboratory environments require high initial preparation cost and longer time to finalize the experiments. Due to those reasons, this chapter focuses on a novel prediction perspective to the bending over sheave fatigue lifetime of steel wire ropes by means of artificial neural networks.

The paper considers the development of a method for positioning a mobile device using a sensor network of BLE-beacons, the approximation of RSSI values and artificial neural networks. The aim of the work is to develop a method for positioning small-scale industrial mechanization equipment for building unmanned systems for product movement tracking. The work is divided into four main parts: data synthesis, signal filtering, selection of BLE beacons, translation of the RSSI values into a distance, and multilateration. A simplified Kalman filter is proposed for filtering the input signal to suppress Gaussian noise. A description of two approaches to translating the RSSI value into a distance is given: an exponential approximation function with a coefficient of determination of 0.6994 and an artificial feedforward neural network. A comparison of the results of these approaches is carried out on several test samples: a training one, a test sample at a known distance (0–50 meters) and a test sample at an unknown distance (60–100 meters). The artificial neural network is shown to perform better in all experiments, except for the test sample at a known distance (0–50 meters), for which the r.m.s. error is higher by 0.02 m 2 than that for the approximation function, which can be neglected. An algorithm for positioning a mobile device based on the multilateration method is proposed. Experimental studies of the developed method have shown that the positioning error does not exceed 0.9 meters in a 5×5.5 m room under monitoring. The positioning accuracy of a mobile device using the proposed method in the experiment is 40.9 % higher. Experimental studies are also conducted in a 58.4×4.5 m room, showing more accurate results compared to similar studies.

Abstract The aim of this work is to identify failure modes of double pinned sandwich composite plates by using artificial neural networks learning algorithms and then analyze their accuracies for identification. Mechanically pinned specimens with two serial pins/bolts for sandwich composite plates were used for recognition of failure modes which were obtained in previous experimental studies. In addition, the empirical data of the preceding work was determined with various geometric parameters for various applied preload moments. In this study, these geometric parameters and fastened/bolted joint forms were used for training by artificial neural networks. Consequently, ten different backpropagation training algorithms of artificial neural network were applied for classification by using one hundred data values containing three geometrical parameters. According to obtained results, it was seen that the Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation training algorithm was the most successful algorithm with 93 % accuracy rate and it was appropriate for modeling of this problem. Additionally, performances of all backpropagation training algorithms were discussed taking into account accuracy and error ratios.

Bottom ash based alkali-activated mortar is prepared by incorporating sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate with some additional water if needed, and is activated with temperature curing. This research was conducted to derive an optimum mixture design of the bottom ash based alkali-activated mortar. The experimental studies were first performed to estimate the effect of the added water content, alkali activator to bottom ash ratio, sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide ratio as well as curing temperature on workability and strength. In order to optimize the mix proportion, based on the experimental results, artificial neural networks were introduced.

Interval Valued

Interval-valued time series (ITS) are interval-valued data that are collected in chronological order. The modeling of ITS is an ongoing issue in domain of time series analysis. This paper presents a new modeling method of ITS based on the synergy of fuzzy set theory and artificial neural networks. The proposed method involves the construction of collection of fuzzy sets describing characteristics of amplitude of ITS, the expression and reconstruction mechanism of ITS and the emergence of model of ITS based on artificial neural network (ANN). The resulting model of ITS not only supports the linguistic output but also the numeric output in interval format. A series of experimental studies is reported for two publicly available financial datasets showing different dynamic characteristics. Experimental results clearly show that the constructed ITS model has the better performance on the linguistic and numeric level.

Experimental studies on operating a marine diesel engine to determine the performance map under different working conditions need to consume a lot of money and labor. To solve this problem, a mathematical model based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) combined genetic algorithms (GA) to predicate the performance emissions of the marine diesel engine is firstly reported in this paper. The predicted result showed that the network performance is sufficient for all target emission outputs. The input layer without transfer function consisted of 11 neurons is used, and output layer predicted 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Electronic parameters such as VIC, SOI, CRP, NUN, VEO and VEC have influences on the PAHs emissions. The actual data obtained from the diesel is well agreed with the predicted data. The usage of ANNs is highly recommended to predict engine emissions instead of having to undertake complex and time-consuming experimental studies.
