In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the gloss of thermally densified wood veneers. A custom application created with MATLAB codes was employed for the development of the multilayer feed-forward ANN model. The wood species, temperature, pressure, measurement direction, and angle of incidence were considered as the model inputs, while the gloss was the output of the ANN model. Model performance was evaluated by using the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), the root mean square error (RMSE), and the coefficient of determination (R²). It was observed that the ANN model yielded very satisfactory results with acceptable deviations. The MAPE, RMSE, and R2 values of the testing period of the ANN model were found as 8.556%, 1.245, and 0.9814, respectively. Consequently, this study could be useful for the wood industry to predict the gloss with less number of tiring experimental activities.

Groundwater level fluctuation modeling is a prime need for effective utilization and planning the conjunctive use in any basin.The application of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and hybrid Wavelet ANN (WANN) models was investigated in predicting Groundwater level fluctuations. The RMSE of ANN model during calibration and validation were found to be 0.2868 and 0.3648 respectively, whereas for the WANN model the respective values were 0.1946 and 0.1695. Efficiencies during calibration and validation for ANN model were 0.8862 per cent and 0.8465 per cent respectively, whereas for WANN model were found to be much higher with the respective values of 0.9436 per cent and 0.9568 per cent indicating substantial improvement in the model performance. Hence hybrid ANN model is the promising tool to predict water table fluctuation as compared to ANN model.

Prediction of peak particle velocity (PPV) is very complicated due to the number of influencing parameters affecting seism wave propagation. In this paper, artificial neural network (ANN) is implemented to develop a model to predict PPV in a blasting operation. Based on the measured parameters of maximum explosive charge used per delay and distance between blast face to monitoring point, a three-layer ANN was found to be optimum with architecture 2-5-1. Through the analysis of coefficient of determination (CoD) and mean absolute error (MAE) between monitored and predicted values of PPV, it indicates that the forecast data by the ANN model is close to the actua1 values.

Determination of rubber rheological properties is indispensable in order to conduct efficient vulcanization process in rubber industry. The main goal of this study was development of an advanced artificial neural network (ANN) for quick and accurate vulcanization data prediction of commercially available rubber gum for tire production. The ANN was developed by using the platform for large-scale machine learning TensorFlow with the Sequential Keras-Dense layer model, in a Python framework. The ANN was trained and validated on previously determined experimental data of torque on time at five different temperatures, in the range from 140 to 180 oC, with a step of 10 oC. The activation functions, ReLU, Sigmoid and Softplus, were used to minimize error, where the ANN model with Softplus showed the most accurate predictions. Numbers of neurons and layers were varied, where the ANN with two layers and 20 neurons in each layer showed the most valid results. The proposed ANN was trained at temperatures of 140, 160 and 180 oC and used to predict the torque dependence on time for two test temperatures (150 and 170 oC). The obtained solutions were confirmed as accurate predictions, showing the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and mean squared error (MSE) values were less than 1.99 % and 0.032 dN2 m2, respectively.

The main objective of this study is to develop a rate of penetration (ROP) model for Khasib formation in Ahdab oil field and determine the drilling parameters controlling the prediction of ROP values by using artificial neural network (ANN).      An Interactive Petrophysical software was used to convert the raw dataset of transit time (LAS Readings) from parts of meter-to-meter reading with depth. The IBM SPSS statistics software version 22 was used to create an interconnection between the drilling variables and the rate of penetration, detection of outliers of input parameters, and regression modeling. While a JMP Version 11 software from SAS Institute Inc. was used for artificial neural modeling.      The proposed artificial neural network method depends on obtaining the input data from drilling mud logging data and wireline logging data. The data then analyzes it to create an interconnection between the drilling variables and the rate of penetration.      The proposed ANN model consists of an input layer, hidden layer and outputs layer, while it applies the tangent function (TanH) as a learning and training algorithm in the hidden layer. Finally, the predicted values of ROP are compared with the measured values. The proposed ANN model is more efficient than the multiple regression analysis in predicting ROP. The obtained coefficient of determination (R2) values using the ANN technique are 0.93 and 0.91 for training and validation sets, respectively. This study presents a new model for predicting ROP values in comparison with other conventional drilling measurements.

Описываются разработка и применение искусственной нейронной сети (ИНС) для прогнозирования предельного давления трубопровода с точечным коррозионным дефектом, подверженного воздействию только внутреннего давления. Модель ИНС разработана на основе данных, полученных по результатам множественных полномасштабных испытаний на разрыв труб API 5L (класс от X42 до X100). Качество работы модели ИНС проверено в сравнении с данными для обучения, получен коэффициент детерминации R = 0,99. Модель дополнительно протестирована с учетом данных о предельном давлении корродированных труб API 5L X52 и X80. Установлено, что разработанная модель ИНС позволяет прогнозировать предельное давление с приемлемой погрешностью. С использованием данной модели проведена оценка влияния длины и глубины коррозионных дефектов на предельное давление. Выявлено, что глубина коррозии является более значимым фактором разрушения корродированного трубопровода. This paper describes the development and application of artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the failure pressure of single corrosion affected pipes subjected to internal pressure only. The development of the ANN model is based on the results of sets of full-scale burst test data of pipe grades ranging from API 5L X42 to X100. The ANN model was developed using MATLAB’s Neural Network Toolbox with 1 hidden layer and 30 neurons. Before further deployment, the developed ANN model was compared against the training data and it produced a coefficient of determination ( R ) of 0.99. The developed ANN model was further tested against a set of failure pressure data of API 5L X52 and X80 grade corroded pipes. Results revealed that the developed ANN model is able to predict the failure pressure with good margins of error. Furthermore, the developed ANN model was used to determine the failure trends when corrosion defect length and depth were varied. Results from this failure trend analysis revealed that corrosion defect depth is the most significant parameter when it comes to corroded pipeline failure.

Since the 1980s, the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) has been the primary deflection-measuring device in the United States to evaluate the structural conditions of in-service pavements. However, the stop and go nature of the FWD limits its application at the network level. In the early 2000s, the traffic speed deflectometer (TSD) was introduced as an alternate deflection-measuring device for network-level applications. TSD collects deflection measurements while traveling at traffic speed, which provides improved spatial coverage and no traffic disturbance. The verification of TSD measurements is of great interest as many agencies move toward widespread implementation. This study aims at developing a reliable and straightforward procedure for the verification of TSD measurements using limited FWD measured deflection measurements. The verification procedure employs a trained artificial neural network (ANN) model to shift TSD deflections to their corresponding FWD deflections. The ANN model was trained and verified based on FWD and TSD measurements from two deflection-testing programs. The developed model accurately predicted FWD measurements with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.994. The suitability of the proposed verification procedure was evaluated using statistical and engineering-based measures and showed acceptable accuracy. Results also validated that the proposed method could be used to verify TSD measurements before its use for conducting deflection measurements at the network level.

Soil Coefficient of Consolidation (Cv) is a crucial mechanical parameter and used to characterize whether the soil undergoes consolidation or compaction when subjected to pressure. In order to define such a parameter, the experimental approaches are costly, time-consuming, and required appropriate equipment to perform the tests. In this study, the development of an alternative manner to estimate the Cv, based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN), was conducted. A database containing 188 tests was used to develop the ANN model. Two structures of ANN were considered, and the accuracy of each model was assessed using common statistical measurements such as the coefficient of determination (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute error (MAE). In performing 600 simulations in each case, the ANN structure containing 14 neurons was statistically superior to the other one. Finally, a typical ANN result was presented to prove that it can be an excellent predictor of the problem, with a satisfying accuracy performance that yielded of RMSE = 0.0614, MAE = 0.0415, and R2 = 0.99727. This study might help in quick and accurate prediction of the Cv used in civil engineering problems.

Evapotranspiration (ETo) is considered a main component of the hydrological cycle. This study was carried out on a medium-size park within a highly urbanized area, close to the center of Melbourne city. The purpose of the study is to calculate the reference evapotranspiration (ETo), particularly at a specified spot in a corner of the park. The hand-held device used to collect data gave consistent results and reduced the need for assumptions. The Penman-Montieth equation was used to calculate the reserved ETo. To build an ETo model, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was adopted to predict ETo. Three models were built to select the best model, based on the least Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and the highest coefficient of determination (R2). Results showed a contrast between the observed and predicted magnitudes of ETo. Both of the observed and predicted magnitudes for ETo are higher than most recent studies. Data from the specified location shows a difference in ETo magnitudes relative to the fixed meteorological stations. This study supports that climate change causes increasing magnitudes of reference evapotranspiration ETo.

This paper describes the development and application of artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the failure pressure of single corrosion affected pipes subjected to internal pressure only. The development of the ANN model is based on the results of 71 sets of full-scale burst test data of pipe grades ranging from API 5L X42 to X100. The ANN model was developed using MATLAB’s Neural Network Toolbox with 1 hidden layer and 30 neurons. Before further deployment, the developed ANN model was compared against the training data and it produced a coefficient of determination of 0.99. The developed ANN model was further tested against a set of failure pressure data of API 5L X52 and X80 grade corroded pipes. Results revealed that the developed ANN model is able to predict the failure pressure with good margins of error (within 15%). Furthermore, the developed ANN model was used to determine the failure trends when corrosion defect length and depth were varied. Results from this failure trend analysis revealed that corrosion defect depth is the most significant parameter when it comes to corroded pipeline failure.
