Artificial Neural Networks have proven, along the last four decades, to be an important tool for modelling of the functional structures of the nervous system, as well as for the modelling of non-linear and adaptive systems in general, both biological and non biological (Haykin, 1999). They also became a powerful biologically inspired general computing framework, particularly important for solving non-linear problems with reduced formalization and structure. At the same time, methods from the area of complex systems and non-linear dynamics have shown to be useful in the understanding of phenomena in brain activity and nervous system activity in general (Freeman, 1992; Kelso, 1995). Joining these two areas, the development of artificial neural networks employing rich dynamics is a growing subject in both arenas, theory and practice. In particular, model neurons with rich bifurcation and chaotic dynamics have been developed in recent decades, for the modelling of complex phenomena in biology as well as for the application in neuro-like computing. Some models that deserve attention in this context are those developed by Kazuyuki Aihara (1990), Nagumo and Sato (1972), Walter Freeman (1992), K. Kaneko (2001), and Nabil Farhat (1994), among others. The following topics develop the subject of Chaotic Neural Networks, presenting several of the important models of this class and briefly discussing associated tools of analysis and typical target applications.

In this study the deflection of a cantilever beam was simulated under the action of uniformly distributed load. The large deflection of the cantilever beam causes the non-linear behavior of beam. The prupose of this study is to predict the deflection of a cantilever beam using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). The simulation of the deflection was carried out in MATLAB by using 2-D Finite Element Method (FEM) to collect the training data for the ANN. The predicted data was then verified again through a non linear 2-D geometry problem solver, FEM. Loads in different magnitudes were applied and the non-linear behaviour of the beam was then recorded. It was observed that, there is a close agreement between the predicted data from ANN and the results simulated in the FEM.

Process control in the field of chemical engineering has always been a challenging task for the chemical engineers. Hence, the majority of processes found in the chemical industries are non-linear and in these cases the performance of the linear models can be inadequate. Recently a promising alternative modelling technique, artificial neural networks (ANNs), has found numerous applications in representing non-linear functional relationships between variables. A feedforward multi-layered neural network is a highly connected set of elementary non-linear neurons. Model-based control techniques were developed to obtain tighter control. Many model-based control schemes have been proposed to incorporate a process model into a control system. Among them, model predictive control (MPC) is the most common scheme. MPC is a general and mathematically feasible scheme to integrate our knowledge about a target, process controller design and operation, which allows flexible and efficient exploitation of our understanding of a target, and thus produces optimal performance of a system under various constraints. The need to handle some difficult control problems has led us to use ANN in MPC and has recently attracted a great deal of attention. The efficacy of the neural predictive control with the ability to perform comparably to the non linear neural network strategy in both set point tracking and disturbance rejection proves to have less computation expense for the neural predictive control. The neural network model predictive control (NNMPC) method has less perturbations and oscillations when dealing with noise as compared to the PI controllers.

In this study, a multi-scale non-linear model based on coupling a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and the second-order Volterra model, i.e. the wavelet Volterra coupled (WVC) model, is applied for daily inflow forecasting at Krishna Agraharam, Krishna River, India. The relative performance of the WVC model was compared with regular artificial neural networks (ANN), wavelet-artificial neural networks (WA-ANN) models and other baseline models such as auto-regressive moving average with exogenous variables (ARMAX) for lead times of 1–5 days. The models were applied for the forecasting of daily streamflow at Krishna Agraharam Station at Krishna River. The WVC performed very well, especially when compared with the WA-ANN model for lead times of 4 and 5 days. The results indicate that the WVC model is a promising alternative to the other traditional models for short-term flow forecasting.
