Introduction. The development of machine learning methods has given a new impulse to solving inverse problems in mechanics. Many studies show that along with well-behaved techniques of ultrasonic, magnetic, and thermal nondestructive testing, the latest methods are used, including those based on neural network models. In this paper, we demonstrate the potential application of machine learning methods in the problem of two-dimensional ultrasound imaging. Materials and Methods. We have developed an experimental model of acoustic ultrasonic non-destructive testing, in which the probing of the object under study takes place, followed by the recording of the response signals. The propagation of an ultrasonic wave is modeled by the finite difference method in the time domain. An ultrasonic signal received at the internal points of the control object is applied to the input of the convolutional neural network. At the output, an image that visualizes the internal defect is generated.Results. In the course of the performed complex of numerical experiments, a data set was generated for training a convolutional neural network. A convolutional neural network model, which is developed to solve the problem of visualizing internal defects based on methods of ultrasonic nondestructive testing, is presented. This model has a small size, which is 3.8 million parameters. Its simplicity and versatility provide high-speed learning and a wide range of applications in the class of related problems. The presented results show a high degree of information content of the ultrasonic response and its correspondence to the real form of an internal defect located inside the test object. The effect of geometric parameters of defects on the accuracy of the neural network model is investigated.Discussion and Conclusion. The results obtained have established that the proposed model shows a high operating accuracy (F1 > 0.95) in cases when the wavelength of the probe pulse is tens of times less than the size of the defect. We believe that the combination of the proposed methods in this approach can serve as a good starting point for future research in solving flaw defection problems and inverse problems in general.

The application of machine learning methods to particle physics often does not provide enough understanding of the underlying physics. An interpretable model which provides a way to improve our knowledge of the mechanism governing a physical system directly from the data can be very useful. In this paper, we introduce a simple artificial physical generator based on the Quantum chromodynamical (QCD) fragmentation process. The data simulated from the generator are then passed to a neural network model which we base only on the partial knowledge of the generator. We aimed to see if the interpretation of the generated data can provide the probability distributions of basic processes of such a physical system. This way, some of the information we omitted from the network model on purpose is recovered. We believe this approach can be beneficial in the analysis of real QCD processes.

The article is devoted to the development of a hybrid method for predicting and preventing the development of troubles in the process of drilling wells based on machine learning methods and modern neural network models. Troubles during the drilling process, such as filtrate leakoff; gas, oil and water shows and sticking, lead to an increase in unproductive time, i.e. time that is not technically necessary for well construction and is caused by various violations of the production process. Several different approaches have been considered, including based on the regression model for predicting the indicator function, which reflects an approach to a developing trouble, as well as anomaly extraction models built both on basic machine learning algorithms and using the neural network model of deep learning. Showing visualized examples of the work of the developed methods on simulation and real data. Intelligent analysis of Big Geodata from geological and technological measurement stations is based on well-proven machine learning algorithms. Based on these data, a neural network model was proposed to prevent troubles and emergencies during the construction of wells. The use of this method will minimize unproductive drilling time.

Panthera merupakan genus dari keluarga kucing yang memiliki empat spesies popular yaitu, harimau, jaguar, macan tutul, singa. Singa memiliki warna keemasan dan tidak memilki motif, harimau memiliki motif loreng dengan garis-garis panjang, jaguar memiliki tubuh yang lebih besar dari pada macan tutul serta memiliki motif tutul yang lebih lebar, sedangkan macan tutul memiliki tubuh yang sedikit lebih ramping dari pada jaguar dan memiliki tutul yang tidak terlalu lebar. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan klasifikasi genus panther yaitu harimau, jaguar, macan tutul, dan singa menggunakan metode Convolutional Neural Network. Model Convolutional Neural Network yang digunakan memiliki 1 input layer, 5 convolution layer, dan 2 fully connected layer.

Mechanical damage is recognized as a problem that reduces the performance of oil and gas pipelines and has been the subject of continuous research. The artificial neural network in the spotlight recently is expected to be another solution to solve the problems relating to the pipelines. The deep neural network, which is on the basis of artificial neural network algorithm and is a method amongst various machine learning methods, is applied in this study. The applicability of machine learning techniques such as deep neural network for the prediction of burst pressure has been investigated for dented API 5L X-grade pipelines. To this end, supervised learning is employed, and the deep neural network model has four layers with three hidden layers, and the neural network uses the fully connected layer. The burst pressure computed by deep neural network model has been compared with the results of finite element analysis based parametric study, and the burst pressure calculated by the experimental results. According to the comparison results, it showed good agreement. Therefore, it is concluded that deep neural networks can be another solution for predicting the burst pressure of API 5L X-grade dented pipelines.
