The shrinkage of the glass-alumina functionally graded materials (G-A FGMs) as a function of sintering temperature, layers, and the alumina content was predicted by a back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN). The BP-ANN was composed of an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. 21 sets of experimental data were trained, in which the temperature, layers, and the alumina content as input parameters whereas the shrinkage as the output parameter. 5 sets of experimental data were used to identify the accuracy of the BP-ANN. From the prediction, selection of the hidden layer neurons is essential for the convergence of the BP-ANN. The minimum predicted errors less than 6.6% are obtained with 8 neurons. Comparison of the predicted shrinkage shows that the increase of layers or alumina content is beneficial to the increase of the shrinkage and expansion resistance for the G-A FGMs.

In this study, three artificial neural network (ANN) models are developed with back propagation (BP) optimization algorithms to predict various lightning damage modes in carbon/epoxy laminates. The proposed ANN models use three input variables associated with lightning waveform parameters (i.e., the peak current amplitude, rising time, and decaying time) to predict fiber damage, matrix damage, and through-thickness damage in the composites. The data used for training and testing the networks was actual lightning damage data collected from peer-reviewed published literature. Various BP training algorithms and network architecture configurations (i.e., data splitting, the number of neurons in a hidden layer, and the number of hidden layers) have been tested to improve the performance of the neural networks. Among the various BP algorithms considered, the Bayesian regularization back propagation (BRBP) showed the overall best performance in lightning damage prediction. When using the BRBP algorithm, as expected, the greater the fraction of the collected data that is allocated to the training dataset, the better the network is trained. In addition, the optimal ANN architecture was found to have a single hidden layer with 20 neurons. The ANN models proposed in this work may prove useful in preliminary assessments of lightning damage and reduce the number of expensive experimental lightning tests.

AbstractThis study investigates the estimated adsorption efficiency of artificial Nickel (II) ions with perlite in an aqueous solution using artificial neural networks, based on 140 experimental data sets. Prediction using artificial neural networks is performed by enhancing the adsorption efficiency with the use of Nickel (II) ions, with the initial concentrations ranging from 0.1 mg/L to 10 mg/L, the adsorbent dosage ranging from 0.1 mg to 2 mg, and the varying time of effect ranging from 5 to 30 mins. This study presents an artificial neural network that predicts the adsorption efficiency of Nickel (II) ions with perlite. The best algorithm is determined as a quasi-Newton back-propagation algorithm. The performance of the artificial neural network is determined by coefficient determination (R2), and its architecture is 3-12-1. The prediction shows that there is an outstanding relationship between the experimental data and the predicted values.

Lockers are one of the facilities that people use to store stuff. Artificial neural networks are computational systems where architecture and operations are inspired by the knowledge of biological neurons in the brain, which is one of the artificial representations of the human brain that always tries to stimulate the learning process of the human brain. One of the utilization of artificial neural network is for pattern recognition. The face of a person must be different but sometimes has a shape similar to the face of others, because the facial pattern is a good pattern to try to be recognized by using artificial neural networks. Pattern recognition on artificial neural network can be done by back propagation method. Back propagation method consists of input layer, hidden layer and output layer.

Simultaneaous spectrophotometric determination of clorsulon (CLO) and invermectin (IVE) in commercial veterinary formulation was performed by using the artificial neural network (ANN) based on the back propagation algorithm. In order to find the optimal ANN model various topogical networks were tested by using different hidden layers. A logsig input layer, a hidden layer of neurons using the logsig transfer function and an output layer of two neurons with purelin transfer function was found suitable for basic configuration for ANN model. A calibration set consisting of CLO and IVE in calibration set was prepared in the concentration range of 1-23 �g/mL and 1-14 �g/mL, repectively. This calibration set contains 36 different synthetic mixtures. A prediction set was prepared in order to evaluate the recovery of the investigated approach ANN chemometric calibration was applied to the simultaneous analysis of CLO and IVE in compounds in a commercial veterinary formulation. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method is appropriate for the routine quality control of the above mentioned active compounds.

Abstract An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the drape coefficient (DC). Hanging weight, Sample diameter and the bending rigidities in warp, weft and skew directions are selected as inputs of the ANN model. The ANN developed is a multilayer perceptron using a back-propagation algorithm with one hidden layer. The drape coefficient is measured by a Cusick drape meter. Bending rigidities in different directions were calculated according to the Cantilever method. The DC obtained results show a good correlation between the experimental and the estimated ANN values. The results prove a significant relationship between the ANN inputs and the drape coefficient. The algorithm developed can easily predict the drape coefficient of fabrics at different diameters.

Abstract In this study, the viscosity of hydrocarbon binary mixtures has been predicted with an artificial neural network and a group contribution method (ANN-GCM) by utilizing various training algorithm including Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG), Levenberg-Marquardt (LM), Resilient back Propagation (RP), and Gradient Descent with variable learning rate back propagation (GDX). Moreover, different transfer functions such as Tan-sigmoid (tansig), Log-sigmoid (logsig), and purelin were investigated in hidden and output layer and their effects on network precision were estimated. Accordingly, 796 experimental data points of viscosity of hydrocarbon binary mixture were collected from the literature for a wide range of operating parameters. The temperature, pressure, mole fraction, molecular weight, and structural group of the system were selected as the independent input parameters. The statistical analysis results with R 2 = 0.99 revealed a small value for Average absolute relative deviation (AARD) of 1.288 and Mean square error (MSE) of 0.001018 by comparing the ANN predicted data with experimental data. Neural network configuration was also optimized. Based on the results, the network with one hidden layer and 27 neurons with the Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm and tansig transfer function for hidden layer along with purelin transfer function for output layer constituted the best network structure. Further, the weights and bias were optimized to minimize the error. Then, the obtained results of the present study were compared with the data from some previous methods. The results suggested that this work can predict the viscosity of hydrocarbon binary mixture with better AARD. In general, the results indicated that combining ANN and GCM model is capable to predict the viscosity of hydrocarbon binary mixtures with a good accuracy.

Abstract Artificial neural networks (ANN) have been employed successfully because of their high modeling capability. Many versions of the ANN have been proposed to increase the modeling ability. Since ANN based on the biological neural network system, the only mathematical operation is summation or subtraction (while the coefficients are negative). This research was done to investigate the application of other mathematical operations, which are multiplication, division, logarithm, and exponential, in nodes. Based on this fact, a novel a single hidden layer feed-forward artificial neural network (SLFN) model, which was called was algebraic learning machine (ALM), was proposed. The proposed ALM was evaluated and validated with 60 different benchmark datasets. Obtained results were compared with results obtained by each of the extreme learning machine (ELM), randomized artificial neural network, and random vector functional link, and back-propagation trained SLFN methods. Achieved results show that the proposed method is successful enough to be employed in classification and regression.
