Concrete filled steel tubes of square columns under axial load are in complicated stress, the influence of every factor on mechanics performance is difficult to ascertain accurately. Neural network performs well obtaining the relationship between input and output variables by self-studying, self-organizing, self-adapting and nonlinear mapping. In this paper a three-layer back-propagation model of network is successfully trained and set up according to experimental data of square CFT columns under load. Ten groups of experimental data were verified by the model, the results show the predicted values are in accord with test values, precision in calculation is good enough for structure design. So the neural network model can be used as an auxiliary method to calculate the capacity of square concrete filled tube columns in the project. With the increase of experimental data, the neural network precision of prediction will be improved in the future.

Artificial neural network (ANN) back-propagation model was developed to predict the fracture design parameters in reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CMCS).Training ANN model was introduced at first. And then the Training data for the development of the neural network model was obtained from the experiments. The input parameters, the presetting deflection and tip radius of the notch, and the output, the cycle times of fracture were used during the network training. The neural network architecture is designed. The ANN model was developed using back propagation architecture with three layers jump connections, where every layer was connected or linked to every previous layer. The number of hidden neurons was determined according to special formula. The performance of system is summarized at last. The ANN model exhibited excellent comparison with the experimental results. It was concluded that predicted fracture design parameters by the trained neural network model seem more reasonable compared to approximate methods. It is possible to claim that, ANN is fairly promising prediction technique if properly used.

Two-axle rotary shaping is one of advanced sheet metal forming process that combined stamping ascendant used elastic medium with traditional rotary shaping principle. The prediction model of two-axle rotary shaping is set up to predict the springback for two-axle rotary shaping. It used the back propagation neural network because of the better nonlinear mapping ability. Some of data from the experiment and FEM simulation is applied to train the network; the other data is used to test the prediction result. The result showed that the value of prediction and experiment is in good agreement, and just small error is existed. It demonstrated that the neural network model might predict the springback of two-axle rotary shaping and reduce the number of simulation calculation and experiment operation. It can offer a powerful guidance for rapid choice of process parameters in production.

A back-propagation-type neural network consisting of three layers was used for predicting of surface and infiltration anaesthetical activity of pyrrolidinylethyl esters of 2- and 3-alkoxyphenylcarbamic acids. The prediction of local anaesthesia was based on the knowledge of this property for piperidinylethyl esters, piperidinylpropyl esters and azepanylethyl esters of 2- and 3-alkoxy- phenylcarbamic acids. The structural formulas of compounds pre-processed to the numerical input and RP-HPLC capacity factors (characterizing the lipophility of tested compounds) were used for generating inputs for the neural network. Anaesthetical activities of tested drugs calculated by neural network were in a good agreement with the experimentally measured data. Average error of predicted values ranges from 2% for the surface anaesthesia of pyrrolidinylethyl esters of 2-alkoxy- phenylcarbamic acids to 15% for the infiltration anaesthesia of pyrrolidinylethyl esters of 3-alkoxyphenylcarbamic acids.

Fast steering mirrors (FSMs), driven by piezoelectric ceramics, are usually used as actuators for high-precision beam control. A FSM generally contains four ceramics that are distributed in a crisscross pattern. The cooperative movement of the two ceramics along one radial direction generates the deflection of the FSM in the same orientation. Unlike the hysteresis nonlinearity of a single piezoelectric ceramic, which is symmetric or asymmetric, the FSM exhibits complex hysteresis characteristics. In this paper, a systematic way of modeling the hysteresis nonlinearity of FSMs is proposed using a Madelung’s rules based symmetric hysteresis operator with a cascaded neural network. The hysteresis operator provides a basic hysteresis motion for the FSM. The neural network modifies the basic hysteresis motion to accurately describe the hysteresis nonlinearity of FSMs. The wiping-out and congruency properties of the proposed method are also analyzed. Moreover, the inverse hysteresis model is constructed to reduce the hysteresis nonlinearity of FSMs. The effectiveness of the presented model is validated by experimental results.

The random cropping data augmentation method is widely used to train convolutional neural network (CNN)-based target detectors to detect targets in optical images (e.g., COCO datasets). It can expand the scale of the dataset dozens of times while consuming only a small amount of calculations when training the neural network detector. In addition, random cropping can also greatly enhance the spatial robustness of the model, because it can make the same target appear in different positions of the sample image. Nowadays, random cropping and random flipping have become the standard configuration for those tasks with limited training data, which makes it natural to introduce them into the training of CNN-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image ship detectors. However, in this paper, we show that the introduction of traditional random cropping methods directly in the training of the CNN-based SAR image ship detector may generate a lot of noise in the gradient during back propagation, which hurts the detection performance. In order to eliminate the noise in the training gradient, a simple and effective training method based on feature map mask is proposed. Experiments prove that the proposed method can effectively eliminate the gradient noise introduced by random cropping and significantly improve the detection performance under a variety of evaluation indicators without increasing inference cost.

Risk and security are two symmetric descriptions of the uncertainty of the same system. If the risk early warning is carried out in time, the security capability of the system can be improved. A safety early warning model based on fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM) and back-propagation neural network was established, and a genetic algorithm was introduced to optimize the connection weight and other properties of the neural network, so as to construct the safety early warning system of coal mining face. The system was applied in a coal face in Shandong, China, with 46 groups of data as samples. Firstly, the original data were clustered by FCM, the input space was fuzzy divided, and the samples were clustered into three categories. Then, the clustered data was used as the input of the neural network for training and prediction. The back-propagation neural network and genetic algorithm optimization neural network were trained and verified many times. The results show that the early warning model can realize the prediction and early warning of the safety condition of the working face, and the performance of the neural network model optimized by genetic algorithm is better than the traditional back-propagation artificial neural network model, with higher prediction accuracy and convergence speed. The established early warning model and method can provide reference and basis for the prediction, early warning and risk management of coal mine production safety, so as to discover the hidden danger of working face accident as soon as possible, eliminate the hidden danger in time and reduce the accident probability to the maximum extent.

It is possible to claim that, ANN is fairly promising prediction technique if properly used. Training ANN model was introduced at first. And then the Training data for the development of the neural network model was obtained from the experiments. The input parameters, notch depth, the presetting deflection and tip radius of the notch, and the output parameters, the cycle times of fracture were used during the network training. The neural network architecture is designed. The ANN model was developed using back propagation architecture with three layers jump connections, where every layer was connected or linked to every previous layer.
