The concentration of carbonyl is one of the most important properties contributing to the detection of the thermal aging of polymer ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). In this publication, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict concentration of carbenyl during the thermal aging of EPDM using a database consisting of seven input variables. The best fitting training data was obtained with the architecture of (7 inputs neurons, 10 hidden neurons and 1 output neuron). A Levenberg Marquardt learning (LM) algorithm, hyperbolic tangent transfer function were used at the hidden and output layer respectively. The optimal ANN was obtained with a high correlation coefficient R= 0.995 and a very low root mean square error RMSE = 0.0148 mol/l during the generalization phase. The comparison between the experimental and calculated results show that the ANN model is able of predicted the concentration of carbonyl during the thermal aging of ethylene propylene diene monomer

Abstract Lime is a significant material in many industrial processes, including steelmaking by blast furnace. Lime production through rotary kilns is a standard method in industries, yet it has depreciation, high energy consumption, and environmental pollution. A model of the lime production process can help to not only increase our knowledge and awareness but also can help reduce its disadvantages. This paper presents a black-box model by Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for the lime production process considering pre-heater, rotary kiln, and cooler parameters. To this end, actual data are collected from Zobahan Isfahan Steel Company, Iran, which consists of 746 data obtained in a duration of one year. The proposed model considers 23 input variables, predicting the amount of produced lime as an output variable. The ANN parameters such as number of hidden layers, number of neurons in each layer, activation functions, and training algorithm are optimized. Then, the sensitivity of the optimum model to the input variables is investigated. Top-three input variables are selected on the basis of one-group sensitivity analysis and their interactions are studied. Finally, an ANN model is developed considering the top-three most effective input variables. The mean square error of the proposed models with 23 and 3 inputs are equal to 0.000693 and 0.004061, respectively, which shows a high prediction capability of the two proposed models.

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.

Abstract This paper presents a data-based approach for modeling a plasma etch process by estimating etch rate based on controlled input parameters. This work seeks to use an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model to correlate controlled tool parameters with etch rate and uniformity for a blanket 1100 Å WSiN thin film using Cl2 and BCl3 chemistry. Experimental data was collected using a Lam 9600 PTX plasma metal etch chamber in an industrial cleanroom. The WSiN film was deposited over 3000 Å TEOS to ensure adhesion, with an 8-inch bare silicon wafer as the base layer. Controlled tool parameters were radio frequency (RF) upper electrode power, RF lower electrode power, Cl2 gas flowrate, BCl3 gas flowrate, and chamber pressure. The full factorial design of experiment method was used to select the combinations of experimental configurations. The ANN model was validated using a subset of the training data.

Abstract This paper presents a method for detecting damage to a gillnet based on sensor fusion and the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. Time-domain numerical simulations of a slender gillnet were performed under various wave conditions and failure and non-failure scenarios to collect big data used in the ANN model. In training, based on the results of global performance analyses, sea states, accelerations of the net assembly, and displacements of the location buoy were selected as the input variables. The backpropagation learning algorithm was employed in training to maximize damage-detection performance. The output of the ANN model was the identification of the particular location of the damaged net. In testing, big data, which were not used in training, were utilized. Well-trained ANN models detected damage to the net even at sea states that were not included in training with high accuracy.

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.

The algorithm of artificial neural network (ANN) has been defined as a supervised learning and heuristic algorithms. In training an ANN model, big data is necessary to use as training data to obtain perfectly accurate predicted data. However, big data really have no clear definition. Therefore, adding new training data to re-train an ANN model, by which can improve the predicted accuracy. This action of re-training this ANN model with added new training data is repeated to approach the laws of physics that is accessed to the principle of induction e.g., empirical formulas. However, accessing the principle of induction is limited. If the deduction is found using an ANN model, then approach of this ANN model with added new training data is also performed repeatedly to access the principle of deduction e.g., theory formulas. However, accessing the principle of deduction is also limited. It means the law cannot be easily deduced for an ANN model. Therefore, the algorithm of an ANN is not the canonical classical methods. On the other hand, the algorithm of an ANN does not belong to mathematical induction and deduction.

nternational Roughness Index (IRI) is an important parameter that indicates the ride quality and pavement condition. In this study, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model was developed to predict the IRI for Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JPCP) sections. The inputs for this model are: initial IRI value, pavement age, transverse cracking, percent joints spalled, flexible and rigid patching areas, total joint faulting, freezing index, and percent subgrade passing No. 200 U.S. sieve. This data was obtained from the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Program. It is the same data and inputs used for the development of the Mechanistic-Empirical pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) IRI model for JPCP. The data includes a total of 184 IRI measurements. The results of this study shows that using the same input variables, the ANN model yielded a higher prediction accuracy (coeficint of determination: R2= 0.828, and ratio of standard error of estimate (predicted) to standard deviation of the measured IRI values: Se/Sy=0.414) compared to the MEPDG model (R2= 0.584, Se/Sy=0.643). In addition, the bias in the predicted IRI values using the ANN model was significantly lower compared to the MEPDG regression model.

Abstract Background The artificial neural network (ANN) emerged recently as a potent diagnostic tool, especially for complicated systemic diseases. This study aimed to establish a diagnostic model for the recognition of fatty liver disease (FLD) by virtue of the ANN. Methods A total of 7,396 pairs of gender- and age-matched subjects who underwent health check-ups at the First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University (Hangzhou, China) were enrolled to establish the ANN model. Indices available in health check-up reports were utilized as potential input variables. The performance of our model was evaluated through a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Other outcome measures included diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, Cohen’s k coefficient, Brier score, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test. The Fatty Liver Index (FLI) and the Hepatic Steatosis Index (HSI), retrained using our training-group data with its original designated input variables, were used as comparisons in the capability of FLD diagnosis. Results Eight variables (age, gender, body mass index, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, uric acid, total triglyceride, and fasting plasma glucose) were eventually adopted as input nodes of the ANN model. By applying a cut-off point of 0.51, the area under ROC curves of our ANN model in predicting FLD in the testing group was 0.908 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.901–0.915]—significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that of the FLI model (0.881, 95% CI, 0.872–0.891) and that of the HSI model (0.885; 95% CI, 0.877–0.893). Our ANN model exhibited higher diagnostic accuracy, better concordance with ultrasonography results, and superior capability of calibration than the FLI model and the HSI model. Conclusions Our ANN system showed good capability in the diagnosis of FLD. It is anticipated that our ANN model will be of both clinical and epidemiological use in the future.
