Turbulent forced convection correlations are available in the literature for gases (Pr ∼ 0.7), but the test data leave a gap in the range of Prandtl (Pr) number between 0.1 and 0.7 occupied by binary gas mixtures. In this paper we develop a turbulent forced convection correlation for the Nusselt (Nu) number of in-tube binary gas mixtures for the ranges of Reynolds (Re) number between 104 and 106 and Prandtl (Pr) number between 0.1 and 0.7. A fully connected back-propagation Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used to learn the pattern of Nu as a function of Re and Pr. Available test data in the range of 0.001 &lt; Pr &lt; 0.1 and 0.7 &lt; Pr &lt; 1000 are provided to the ANN. The test data are separated in two sets to train and test the neural network. A training set with 80% of the data is used to predict a testing set with the remaining 20% of the data. After the network is trained, we make use of the excellent nonlinear interpolation capabilities of ANNs, to predict values of Nu for the sought range 0.1 &lt; Pr &lt; 0.7. These predictions are later used to generate a correlation that aptly covers the complete range of Prandtl numbers.

The CO2 process of making sand moulds and cores is a well-established process and suitable for all types of foundry. However, the collapsibility of CO2 sand is quite poor. A variety of additives are used to improve collapsibility of CO2 sands. Several other process parameters also affect collapsibility of CO2 sands. In the present investigation an attempt has been made to use an artificial neural network (ANN) model for prediction of the collapsibility of CO2 sand. Experiments were conducted with various input process parameters, such as binder content, gassing time, temperature and additive content using three different additives, namely coal dust, dextrin and alumina. The objective of the experiments was to generate basic data to train a back-propagation ANN model and finally predict collapsibility in terms of retained compressive strength of CO2 sands for the test data. A three-layer neural network model with six input neurons corresponding to six input process parameters, one output neuron corresponding to collapsibility and 19 hidden neurons has been suggested, which gives a maximum error of 2 per cent in prediction of test data. Results indicate that prediction of the collapsibility of CO2 sand with an ANN model is feasible. Predicted values match experimental values quite closely.

In this study, a feed-forward back-propagation Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used to predict the stress relaxation and behavior of creep for bimaterial microcantilever beam for sensing device. Results obtained from ANSYS® 8.1 finite element (FE) simulations, which show good agreement with experimental work [1], is used to train the neural network. Parametric studies are carried out to analyze the effects of creep on the microcantilever beam in term of curvature and stress deve loped with time. It is shown that ANN accurately predicts the stress level for the microcantilever beam using the trained ANSYS® simulation results due to the fact that there is no scattered data in the FE simulation results. ANN takes a small fraction of time and effort compar ed to FE prediction.


The function of a power transformer defensive transfer is to work rapidly during the issue condition and to square the stumbling during the other working states of the power transformer. Another method for arranging transient miracles in power transformers, which can be executed in advanced handing-off for transformer insurance. Separation among various working conditions (Transformer, external fault) Power transformer is accomplished by incorporating waveform transformations along the neural network. The waveform change intensity transformer is connected to the transient miracle probe, as a result of its capacity to remove data from the transient sign all the while in both time and recurrence area. The nervous system is used in light of its self-learning and exceptionally nonlinear mapping capability. The proposed scheme has been accepted through artificial neural network (ANN) designs. ANN engineering was designed to use BPN (back propagation calculation) alone, and BPN was consolidated with waveform transform (WNN), so it ought to perceive and order all the above working conditions and blames. The reenactment results got demonstrates that the new calculation precisely gives high working affectability to inside issues and stays stable for other working states of the power transformer. From that it was gathered that the consolidated WNN gives increasingly precise outcomes and it has fast reaction and expanded capacity to separate even low-level deficiency signals from other working conditions.

The energy potential of biogas is estimated from the biomass quantity, that is, a biodegradability values obtained from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (MSW). In this study, the percentage contribution of each and every type of waste was quantified according to the waste classification., In addition, the waste generation data was projected by applying both artificial neural network (ANN) and mathematical models and 4 types of biomass wastes which accounts for a contribution of about 63% of the total waste sampled were obtained. The projection of the weights of the waste was carried out from 2015 to 2030, with the application of the neural network model with Back-propagation. All in all, under the application of the mathematical models, it has been shown that the Ecuadorian model predicted not only a high average volume, but also a large annual value of biogas energy.

Fast steering mirrors (FSMs), driven by piezoelectric ceramics, are usually used as actuators for high-precision beam control. A FSM generally contains four ceramics that are distributed in a crisscross pattern. The cooperative movement of the two ceramics along one radial direction generates the deflection of the FSM in the same orientation. Unlike the hysteresis nonlinearity of a single piezoelectric ceramic, which is symmetric or asymmetric, the FSM exhibits complex hysteresis characteristics. In this paper, a systematic way of modeling the hysteresis nonlinearity of FSMs is proposed using a Madelung’s rules based symmetric hysteresis operator with a cascaded neural network. The hysteresis operator provides a basic hysteresis motion for the FSM. The neural network modifies the basic hysteresis motion to accurately describe the hysteresis nonlinearity of FSMs. The wiping-out and congruency properties of the proposed method are also analyzed. Moreover, the inverse hysteresis model is constructed to reduce the hysteresis nonlinearity of FSMs. The effectiveness of the presented model is validated by experimental results.

The random cropping data augmentation method is widely used to train convolutional neural network (CNN)-based target detectors to detect targets in optical images (e.g., COCO datasets). It can expand the scale of the dataset dozens of times while consuming only a small amount of calculations when training the neural network detector. In addition, random cropping can also greatly enhance the spatial robustness of the model, because it can make the same target appear in different positions of the sample image. Nowadays, random cropping and random flipping have become the standard configuration for those tasks with limited training data, which makes it natural to introduce them into the training of CNN-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image ship detectors. However, in this paper, we show that the introduction of traditional random cropping methods directly in the training of the CNN-based SAR image ship detector may generate a lot of noise in the gradient during back propagation, which hurts the detection performance. In order to eliminate the noise in the training gradient, a simple and effective training method based on feature map mask is proposed. Experiments prove that the proposed method can effectively eliminate the gradient noise introduced by random cropping and significantly improve the detection performance under a variety of evaluation indicators without increasing inference cost.

Risk and security are two symmetric descriptions of the uncertainty of the same system. If the risk early warning is carried out in time, the security capability of the system can be improved. A safety early warning model based on fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM) and back-propagation neural network was established, and a genetic algorithm was introduced to optimize the connection weight and other properties of the neural network, so as to construct the safety early warning system of coal mining face. The system was applied in a coal face in Shandong, China, with 46 groups of data as samples. Firstly, the original data were clustered by FCM, the input space was fuzzy divided, and the samples were clustered into three categories. Then, the clustered data was used as the input of the neural network for training and prediction. The back-propagation neural network and genetic algorithm optimization neural network were trained and verified many times. The results show that the early warning model can realize the prediction and early warning of the safety condition of the working face, and the performance of the neural network model optimized by genetic algorithm is better than the traditional back-propagation artificial neural network model, with higher prediction accuracy and convergence speed. The established early warning model and method can provide reference and basis for the prediction, early warning and risk management of coal mine production safety, so as to discover the hidden danger of working face accident as soon as possible, eliminate the hidden danger in time and reduce the accident probability to the maximum extent.

AbstractDynamic, in vivo measurement of the optical properties of biological tissues is still an elusive and critically important problem. Here we develop a technique for inverting a Monte Carlo simulation to extract tissue optical properties from the statistical moments of the spatio-temporal response of the tissue by training a 5-layer fully connected neural network. We demonstrate the accuracy of the method across a very wide parameter space on a single homogeneous layer tissue model and demonstrate that the method is insensitive to parameter selection of the neural network model itself. Finally, we propose an experimental setup capable of measuring the required information in real time in an in vivo environment and demonstrate proof-of-concept level experimental results.

The fracture problems of ecomaterial (aluminum alloyed cast iron) under extra-low cycle rotating bending fatigue loading were studied using artificial neural networks (ANN) in this paper. The training data were used in the formation of training set of ANN. The ANN model exhibited excellent in results comparison with the experimental results. It was concluded that predicted fracture design parameters by the trained neural network model seem more reasonable compared to approximate methods. It is possible to claim that, ANN is fairly promising prediction technique if properly used. Training ANN model was introduced at first. And then the Training data for the development of the neural network model was obtained from the experiments. The input parameters, notch depth, the presetting deflection and tip radius of the notch, and the output parameters, the cycle times of fracture were used during the network training. The neural network architecture is designed. The ANN model was developed using back propagation architecture with three layers jump connections, where every layer was connected or linked to every previous layer. The number of hidden neurons was determined according to special formula. The performance of system is summarized at last. In order to facilitate the comparisons of predicted values, the error evaluation and mean relative error are obtained. The result show that the training model has good performance, and the experimental data and predicted data from ANN are in good coherence.
