Due to the fact that the equipment of modern electric trains is functionally and technologically complicated, the relevance of creating airborne systems for predictive monitoring of the technical condition of trains to identify their actual and predicted technical condition is increasing. At present, it has not been possible to build automatic on-board systems for predictive monitoring of the technical condition of trains. One of the possible solutions to this problem can be considered the creation of on-board systems, the identification of the technical condition of equipment in which is carried out using neural network technologies. The article proposes a methodology for identifying the technical condition of electric train equipment using artificial neural network technologies, which allows real-time detection of the occurrence and development of malfunctions of electric train equipment with the display of information on the display in the driver’s cab. Taking into account the specifics of the problem being solved, the choice of a multilayer architecture of a direct distribution neural network is justified. All layers of the neural network are completely interconnected, while the number of neurons of the input and output layers of the network is determined, equal to the number of controlled parameters of the technical condition of the electric train and the number of its possible technical conditions, respectively. As a function of activation of network neurons, a logistic function was selected. A heuristic approach is used to train an artificial neural network.

Pipelines of heat networks are an important element of heat supply to cities and industrial facilities. To increase the reliability of the operation of pipelines of heating networks, reducing the number of their accidents and increasing the economic parameters of transportation of heat energy, it is required to constantly increase the volumes and quality of complex diagnostics. The instruments currently used for the diagnosis of pipelines have many shortcomings. Among them, low reliability of detection of defects and subjectivity of decision-making, as well as lack of funds for diagnostics of pre-insulated pipelines (in polyurethane foam insulation). To simplify, accelerate and improve the reliability of monitoring the technical condition of pipelines, the authors set the goal of diagnosing the object of research using acoustic methods, using neural network technologies to process acoustic signals. The article describes experimental studies of pipelines of heating networks in polyurethane foam insulation with various sizes of defects and an analysis of the acoustic signals obtained at the same time is made. The frequency of natural oscillations of the pipeline is chosen as the determining parameter of the acoustic signal. To process and analyze the frequencies obtained as a result of the experiments, a neural network of back propagation of the error was constructed.The results of the classification of the neural network of back propagation of the error trained by the neural network showed its good ability to analyze unknown samples and a high degree of reliability of their recognition.

Problem and goal. The development of mass open online courses contributes to the increasing attention of students to them. At the moment, there are many large services that provide online training, but there are no clearly defined universal requirements for such courses. Also, along with this problem, there is a fairly high level of rejection of the course at various stages due to the loss of motivation to continue training. Methodology. A variant of solving these problems by using adaptive learning technologies on the example of a course on learning artificial neural network technologies was considered. Results. In the process of reviewing the issue, the topics of the online course sections were determined. As a result, a work plan was drafted and the most relevant ways to solve the identified problems were formulated. Conclusion. The developed strategy can help with further elaboration and testing of the designed course and can be applied to any mass open online course.

Abstract Nonlinear structural mechanics should be taken into account in the practical design of reinforced concrete structures. Cracking is one of the major sources of nonlinearity. Description of deflection of reinforced concrete elements is a computational problem, mainly because of the difficulties in modelling the nonlinear stress-strain relationship of concrete and steel. In design practise, in accordance with technical rules (e.g., Eurocode 2), a simplified approach for reinforced concrete is used, but the results of simplified calculations differ from the results of experimental studies. Artificial neural network is a versatile modelling tool capable of making predictions of values that are difficult to obtain in numerical analysis. This paper describes the creation and operation of a neural network for making predictions of deflections of reinforced concrete beams at different load levels. In order to obtain a database of results, that is necessary for training and testing the neural network, a research on measurement of deflections in reinforced concrete beams was conducted by the authors in the Certified Research Laboratory of the Building Engineering Institute at Wrocław University of Science and Technology. The use of artificial neural networks is an innovation and an alternative to traditional methods of solving the problem of calculating the deflections of reinforced concrete elements. The results show the effectiveness of using artificial neural network for predicting the deflection of reinforced concrete beams, compared with the results of calculations conducted in accordance with Eurocode 2. The neural network model presented in this paper can acquire new data and be used for further analysis, with availability of more research results.

This research aims to enhance the watermelon’s quality selection process, which was traditionally conducted by knocking the watermelon fruit and sort out by the sound’s character. The proposed method in this research is generating the sound spectrum through the watermelon and then analyzes the response signal’s frequency and the amplitude by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Then the obtained data were used to train and verify the neural network processor. The result shows that, the frequencies of 129 and 172 Hz were suit to be used in the comparison. Thirty watermelons, which were randomly selected from the orchard, were used to create a data set, and then were cut to manually check and match to the fruits’ quality. The 129 Hz frequency gave the response ranging from 13.57 and above in 3 groups of watermelons quality, including, not fully ripened, fully ripened, and close to rotten watermelons. When the 172 Hz gave the response between 11.11–12.72 in not fully ripened watermelons and those of 13.00 or more in the group of close to rotten and hollow watermelons. The response was then used as a training condition for the artificial neural network processor of the sorting machine prototype. The verification results provided a reasonable prediction of the ripeness level of watermelon and can be used as a pilot prototype to improve the efficiency of the tools to obtain a modern-watermelon quality selection tool, which could enhance the competitiveness of the local farmers on the product quality control.

A model was developed for the analysis and prediction of correlation between composition and mechanical properties of Mg-Al-Zn (AZ) magnesium alloys by applying artificial neural network (ANN). The input parameters of the neural network (NN) are alloy composition. The outputs of the NN model are important mechanical properties, including ultimate tensile strength, tensile yield strength and elongation. The model is based on multilayer feedforward neural network. The NN was trained with comprehensive data set collected from domestic and foreign literature. A very good performance of the neural network was achieved. The model can be used for the simulation and prediction of mechanical properties of AZ system magnesium alloys as functions of composition.

The security of industrial control systems (ICSs) has received a lot of attention in recent years. ICSs were once closed networks. But with the development of IT technologies, ICSs have become connected to the Internet, increasing the potential of cyberattacks. Because ICSs are so tightly linked to human lives, any harm to them could have disastrous implications. As a technique of providing protection, many intrusion detection system (IDS) studies have been conducted. However, because of the complicated network environment and rising means of attack, it is difficult to cover all attack classes, most of the existing classification techniques are hard to deploy in a real environment since they cannot deal with the open set problem. We propose a novel artificial neural network based-methodology to solve this problem. Our suggested method can classify known classes while also detecting unknown classes. We conduct research from two points of view. On the one hand, we use the openmax layer instead of the traditional softmax layer. Openmax overcomes the limitations of softmax, allowing neural networks to detect unknown attack classes. During training, on the other hand, a new loss function termed center loss is implemented to improve detection ability. The neural network model learns better feature representations with the combined supervision of center loss and softmax loss. We evaluate the neural network on NF-BoT-IoT-v2 and Gas Pipeline datasets. The experiments show our proposed method is comparable with the state-of-the-art algorithm in terms of detecting unknown classes. But our method has a better overall classification performance.
