Shape memory alloys are capable of delivering advantageous solutions to a wide range of engineering-based problems. Implementation of these solutions, however, is often complicated by the hysteretic, non-linear, thermo-mechanical behavior of the material. Although existing shape memory alloy constitutive models are largely accurate in describing this unique behavior, they require prior characterization of the material parameters. Consequently, before thorough modeling and simulation can occur for a shape memory alloy-based project, one must first go through the process of identifying several material parameters unique to shape memory alloys. Current characterization procedures necessitate extensive experimentation, data collection, and data processing. As a result, these methods simultaneously create a high barrier of entry for engineers new to active materials and impede the advanced study of shape memory alloy material parameter evolution. This paper develops a novel method in which computational intelligence methods are used to rapidly identify shape memory alloy material parameters. Specifically, an artificial neural network is trained to identify transformation temperatures and stress influence coefficients of given shape memory alloy specimens using strain-temperature coordinates as inputs. After generating training data through the use of a constitutive model, the resulting trained artificial neural network was used to identify parameters for a number of randomly generated theoretical shape memory alloys. Results presented in the paper show that the artificial neural network was able to rapidly identify both transformation temperatures and stress influence coefficients with satisfactory accuracy. The generation of training data was then repeated using Taguchi methods. Further results presented in the paper show that the artificial neural network trained with the Taguchi-based training data yielded improved characterization accuracy while using less training data.

In systems with hysteresis behavior like Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuators and Piezo actuators, an accurate modeling of hysteresis behavior either for performance evaluation and identification or controller design is essentially needed. One of the most interesting hysteresis none-linearity identification methods is Preisach model which the hysteresis is modeled by linear combination of hysteresis operators. In spite of good ability of the Preisach model to extract the main features of system with hysteresis behavior, due to its numerical nature, it is not convenient to use in real time control applications. In this paper a novel artificial neural network (ANN) approach based on the Preisach model is presented which provides accurate hysteresis none-linearity modeling. It is shown that the proposed approach can represent hysteresis behavior more accurately in compare with the classical Preisach model and can be used for many applications such as hysteresis non-linearity control, hysteresis identification and realization for performance evaluation in some physical systems such as magnetic and SMA materials. It is also greatly decrease the extremely large amount of calculation needed to numerically implement the Preisach hysteresis model. For evaluation of the proposed approach an experimental apparatus consists of one-dimensional flexible aluminum beam actuated with a SMA wire is used. It is shown that the proposed ANN based Preisach model can identify hysteresis none-linearity more accurately than the classical Preisach model besides to its reduction in the simulation and computation time.

A key property for the design of new shape memory alloys is their working temperature range that depends on their transformation temperature T0. In previous works, T0 was predicted using a simple linear regression with respect to the energy difference between the parent and the martensitic phases, [Formula: see text]E[Formula: see text]. In this paper, we developed an accurate method to predict T0 based on machine learning assisted by the first-principles calculations. First-principles calculations were performed on 15 shape memory alloys; then, we proposed an artificial neural network method that used not only computed [Formula: see text]E[Formula: see text] but also bulk moduli as input variables to predict T0. The prediction error of T0 was improved to 49 K for the proposed artificial neural network compared with 188 K for simple linear regression.

Artificial neural network (ANN) is an intriguing data processing technique. Over the last decade, it was applied widely in the chemistry field, but there were few applications in the porous NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA). In this paper, 32 sets of samples from thermal explosion experiments were used to build a three-layer BP (back propagation) neural network model. According to the registered BP model, the effect of process parameters including heating rate ( ), green density ( ) and particle size of Ti ( d ) on compressive properties of reacted products including ultimate compressive strength ( v D σ ) and ultimate compressive strain (ε ) was analyzed. The predicted results agree with the actual data within reasonable experimental error, which shows that the BP model is a practically very useful tool in the properties analysis and process parameters design of the porous NiTi SMA prepared by thermal explosion method.

This research proposed to design and implementation system of voice pattern recognition in the form of numbers with offline pronunciation. Artificial intelligent with backpropagation algorithm used on the simulation test. The test has been done to 100 voice files which got from 10 person voices for 10 different numbers. The words are consisting of number 0 to 9. The trial has been done with artificial neural network parameters such as tolerance value and the sum of a neuron. The best result is shown at tolerance value varied and a sum of the neuron is fixed. The percentage of this network training with optimal architecture and network parameter for each training data and new data are 82,2% and 53,3%. Therefore if tolerance value is fixed and a sum of neuron varied gave 82,2% for training data and 54,4% for new data

The concentration of carbonyl is one of the most important properties contributing to the detection of the thermal aging of polymer ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). In this publication, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict concentration of carbenyl during the thermal aging of EPDM using a database consisting of seven input variables. The best fitting training data was obtained with the architecture of (7 inputs neurons, 10 hidden neurons and 1 output neuron). A Levenberg Marquardt learning (LM) algorithm, hyperbolic tangent transfer function were used at the hidden and output layer respectively. The optimal ANN was obtained with a high correlation coefficient R= 0.995 and a very low root mean square error RMSE = 0.0148 mol/l during the generalization phase. The comparison between the experimental and calculated results show that the ANN model is able of predicted the concentration of carbonyl during the thermal aging of ethylene propylene diene monomer

In this study, observation on the differences in features quality of EEG records as a result of training on subjects has been made. The features of EEG records were extracted using two different methods, the root mean square which is acquired from the range between 0.5 and 5 seconds and the average of power spectrum estimation from the frequency range between 20 and 40Hz. All of the data consists of a 4-channel recording and produce good quality classification on artificial neural network, with each of which generates training data accuracy over 90%. However, different results are occured when the trained system is tested on other test data. The test results show that the two systems which are trained using training data with object with color background produce higher accuracy than the other two systems which are trained using training data with object without background color, 63.98% and 60.22% compared to 59.68% and 56.45% accuracy respectively. From the use of the features on the artificial neural network classification system, it can be concluded that the training system using EEG data records derived from the visualization of object with color background produces better features than the visualization of object without color background.
