According to the characteristics of non-linearity, strong coupling and a large time delay in the sintering process, the overall analysis for the sintering process has been carried out from the process parameter control point. The sinter performance evaluation indexes and the main influential parameters were determined. The quality prediction model for the sintering process was established using back propagation (BP) neural network algorithm with momentum and variable learning rate. The simulation experimental results show that the model has a higher prediction accuracy and a stronger self-learning ability. The predictive hit rate of random samples is over 81% by adopting BP neural network with the structure of 15-24-4 and network error is 0.65×10−3, thereby verifying the accuracy and effectiveness of the quality prediction model on the basis of process parameters control.

Aiming to the problem that is very difficult to establish the mechanism model of quality for the process of tobacco leaves redrying, this paper proposes a quality prediction model based on principal component analysis (PCA) and improved back propagation (BP)neural network for tobacco leaves redrying process. Firstly, 12 input variables are confirmed by analyzing the factors on quality of tobacco leaves redrying process. Second, the methods of PCA is used to eliminate the correlation of original input layer data, in which 12 input variables are transformed into 6 uncorrelated indicators. Then, the quality prediction model based on improved BP neural network is established. Finally, a simulation experiment is conducted and the average prediction error is as low as 1.03%, the absolute error for forecasting is fluctuated in the range of 0.16% - 2.49%. The result indicates that the model is simpler and has higher stability for prediction, which can completely meet the actual requirements of the tobacco leaves redrying process.

The Ambient Compressive Strength (CS) of pellets, influenced by several factors, is regarded as a criterion to assess pellets during metallurgical processes. A prediction model based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was proposed in order to provide a reliable and economic control strategy for CS in pellet production and to forecast and control pellet CS. The dimensionality of 19 influence factors of CS was considered and reduced by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The PCA variables were then used as the input variables for the Back Propagation (BP) neural network, which was upgraded by Genetic Algorithm (GA), with CS as the output variable. After training and testing with production data, the PCA-GA-BP neural network was established. Additionally, the sensitivity analysis of input variables was calculated to obtain a detailed influence on pellet CS. It has been found that prediction accuracy of the PCA-GA-BP network mentioned here is 96.4%, indicating that the ANN network is effective to predict CS in the pelletizing process.

HighlightsWe propose five spraying parameters according to the characteristics of pig carcasses in the spray-chilling process.A prediction model for pig carcass weight loss, based on a genetic algorithm back-propagation neural network, is proposed to reveal the relationship between weight loss and spraying parameters.To study the effects of various spraying parameters on weight loss, an automatic spray-chilling device was designed, which can modify up to five spraying parameters.Abstract. Because the weight loss of a pig carcass in the spray-chilling process is easily affected by the spraying frequency and duration, a prediction model for weight loss based on a genetic algorithm (GA) back-propagation (BP) neural network is proposed in this article. With three-way crossbred pig carcasses selected as the test materials, the duration and time interval of high-frequency spraying, the duration and time interval of low-frequency spraying, and the duration of a single spray were selected as inputs to the network model. The weight and threshold of the network were then optimized by the GA. The prediction model for pig carcass weight loss established by the GA BP neural network yielded a correlation coefficient of R = 0.99747 between the network output value of the test samples and the target value. Weight loss prediction by the model is feasible and allows better expression of the nonlinear relationship between weight loss and the main controlling factors. The results can be a reference for chilled meat production. Keywords: BP neural network, Genetic algorithm, Pig carcass, Predictive model, Weight loss

For predicting the tool life combine the ant colony optimization(ACO) with the back propagation (BP) neural networks, use the the ACO to train BP neural network, build the prediction model based ACO-BP neural network. Some disadvantages are overcame in the BP algorithm, such as the low convergence speed, easily falling into local minimum point and weak global search capablity in the prediction process. Satisfies the requirement of global search capability and the robustness of the model. The experiment results show the prediction model has high precision in predicting the tool life. By the prediction model can provide a reasonable basis for planing production schedule and cutting tool requirement, calculating the cost, selecting the machining parameters,etc.

Back Propagation (BP) neural network can learn and store a large number of input-output model nonlinear relationships with simple structure. Niche ant colony algorithm (NACA) combines the ant colony algorithm (ACA) with the niche technology in order to add its local search ability to ACA with preserving the intelligent search ability and robustness of ACA. To optimize predicting model establishment of the dam monitoring data, NACA and BP neural network modeling method are combined to establish a prediction model of horizontal displacement monitoring data. The traditional BP neural network prediction model is established to make a comparison with the NACA. The results show that NACA-BP neural network method can speed up the convergence rate of BP neural network and enhance local search ability and prediction accuracy.
