Steel tube and filled concrete of square CFT columns under axial load are in complicated stress condition, the influence of every kind of factors on mechanics performance is difficult to ascertain accurately. On the other hand, neural network is good at obtaining the relationship between input and output variables by self-studying, self-organizing, self-adapting and nonlinear mapping. Therefore, it is suitable that use neural network to calculating the bearing capacity of square CFT columns. In this paper a three-layer back-propagation model of network is trained according to experimental data of square CFT columns under axial load, a neural network model for axial loaded square CFT columns is set up.

In view of complex and fuzziness of geological adaptive cutterhead selection for earth pressure balance (EPB) shield, a cutterhead selection method based on BP neural network is put forward. Considering the structure characteristics of EPB shield cutterhead, typical cutterhead types are classified and summarized based on cutterhead topology structure and number of spokes. After analyzing the determinants of cutterhead selection, one-to-many mapping relation between cutterhead type and geological parameters is put forward, and then core geologic parameters related to cutterhead selection are concluded. The feasibility of using neural network method to choose the cutterhead type is analyzed, and a BP neural network training model for cutterhead selection is set up and tested in testing sample data. The result shows that the selected cutterhead and the construction cutterhead are basically consistent. The feasibility of this method is proved and it can be theoretical basis for the cutterhead structure design which will improve scientific of cutterhead selection.

Isothermal tensile test of medium carbon steel material was conducted on a computer controlled servo-hydraulic testing machine at the deformation temperatures (923 to 1223 K) and the strain rates (0.05 to 1.0 s-1). Using the experimental data, the artificial neural network (ANN) model with a back-propagation (BP) algorithm was proposed to predict the hot deformation behavior of medium carbon steel material. For the model training and testing purpose, deformation temperature, strain rate and strain data were considered as inputs and in addition, the flow stress data were used a targets. Before running the neural network, the test data were normalized to effectively run the problem and after solving the problem, the obtained results were again converted in order to achieve the actual data. According to the predicted results, the coefficient of determination (R2) and the average absolute relative error between the predicted flow stress and the experimental data were determined as 0.997 and 0.913%, respectively. In addition, by evaluating each test conditions, it was found that the average absolute relative error based on an ANN model varied from 0.55% to 1.36% and moreover, the results showed the better predictability compared with the measured data. Overall, the trained BP-ANN model is found to be much more efficient and accurate by means of flow stress prediction with respect to the experimental data for an entire tested conditions.

The purpose of this paper is to determine a critical load for a nonuniform circular steel tube under eccentrically axial load. The circular tube has variable cross section at flattened ends with existing holes used for connection between members. Three different cases of eccentricities are studied with the drilled holes either on the same side or on the opposite side of column axis. The critical load is calculated from the differential equation of deflection curve which is solved by the power series and Runge-Kutta method. In addition, the loading tests were performed on a total of 180 specimens with different diameters, slenderness, and connection. The calculated results are compared and shown in a good agreement with those obtained from the experimental results. The results also show that the critical load decreases rapidly even at a small value of eccentricity and thus may have a significant effect on the load-carrying capacity.

In this paper, back propagation neural network was used in the optimum design of the hot pressing parameters of an advanced ZrO2/TiB2/Al2O3 nanocomposite ceramic tool and die material. The BP algorithm could set up the relationship well between the hot pressing parameters and mechanical property of nanocomposite ceramic tool and die materials. After analyzed the predicted results, the best predicted results were the sintering temperature was 1420°C and the holding time was 60min. Under these hot pressing parameters, the best flexural strength and the best fracture toughness of the material could be obtained.

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.
