Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) is a problem solving technique imitating the basic working principles of the human brain. The formwork labour cost constitutes an important part within the costs of the reinforced concrete frame buildings. This study suggests a method based on artificial neural networks developed for estimating the required manhours for the formwork activity of such buildings. The introduced method has been verified in the study with reference to the test conducted involving two case studies. In all cases, the model produced results reasonably close to actual field measurements. The model is a simple and quick tool for the estimators and planners to aid them in their work. Santrauka Dirbtiniai neuroniniai tinklai (DNT) – tai problemų sprendimo metodas, imituojantis pagrindinius žmogaus smegenų veiklos principus. Statant gelžbetoninius karkasinius pastatus, nemažą sąnaudų dalį sudaro klojinių ruošimas. Šiame tyrime siūlomas dirbtiniais neuroniniais tinklais pagrįstas metodas, kurio paskirtis – apskaičiuoti, kiek žmogaus darbo valandų reikės ruošti klojinius tokiuose pastatuose. Pristatomas metodas tyrimo metu patikrintas remiantis bandymu, susijusiu su dviem atvejo tyrimais. Visais atvejais modelio pateikti rezultatai buvo gana artimi faktiniams matavimams. Modelis – tai paprastas ir greitai naudojamas įrankis, kuris pravers sąmatininkams ir planuotojams.

In this chapter we will look at supervised learning in more detail, beginning with one of the simplest (and earliest) supervised neural learning algorithms – the Delta Rule. The objectives of this chapter are to provide a solid grounding in the theory and practice of problem solving with artificial neural networks – and an appreciation of some of the challenges and practicalities involved in their use.

Artificial neural networks (ANN) have recently gained attention as fast and flexible equipment for modelling and designing microwave devices. The paper reviews the opportunities to use them for undertaking the tasks on the analysis and synthesis. The article focuses on what tasks might be solved using neural networks, what challenges might rise when using artificial neural networks for carrying out tasks on microwave devices and discusses problem-solving techniques for microwave devices with intermittent characteristics.

Simulation and experimental studies were performed on filling imbalance in geometrically balanced injection molds. An original strategy for problem solving was developed to optimize the imbalance phenomenon. The phenomenon was studied both by simulation and experimentation using several different runner systems at various thermo-rheological material parameters and process operating conditions. Three optimization procedures were applied, Response Surface Methodology (RSM), Taguchi method, and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Operating process parameters: the injection rate, melt temperature, and mold temperature, as well as the geometry of the runner system were optimized. The imbalance of mold filling as well as the process parameters: the injection pressure, injection time, and molding temperature were optimization criteria. It was concluded that all the optimization procedures improved filling imbalance. However, the Artificial Neural Networks approach seems to be the most efficient optimization procedure, and the Brain Construction Algorithm (BSM) is proposed for problem solving of the imbalance phenomenon.
