The proposed study develops a framework that accurately captures and models input and output variables for multidisciplinary systems in order to mitigate the computational cost when uncertainties are involved. Under this framework, the dimension of the random input variables is reduced depending on the degree of correlation calculated by an entropy based correlation coefficient (e). According to the obtained value of e, the dimension is truncated by two different methods. First feature extraction methods, namely Principal Component Analysis and the Auto-Encoder algorithm, are utilized when the input variables are highly correlated. In contrast, the Independent Features Test is implemented as the feature selection method if the correlation is too low to select a critical subset of model features. An Artificial Neural Network, including a Probabilistic Neural Network, is integrated into the framework to correctly capture the complex response behavior of the multidisciplinary system with low computational cost. The efficacy of the proposed method is demonstrated with electro-mechanical engineering examples, including a solder joint and a stretchable patch antenna.

Strain gauges based on the micro-strip patch antenna have been increasingly employed in structural health monitoring. However, the lower bandwidth, influenced by the antenna’s geometric properties, limits efficiency of the antenna when major strain, creating drastic variation of the resonant frequency, is applied. The performance of the antenna cannot be guaranteed without also considering the substrate’s varying thickness, caused by manual fabrication and printing procedure. However, all such considerations lead to an increase of multivariate design variables, that in turn, increase uncertainty and computational costs. Thus, the proposed research develops a framework that accurately models the geometric variables of the antenna and efficiently reduces the multivariate dimensions that draw uncertainty preventing accurate system reliability estimation. In the proposed framework, a dimension reduction method is thoroughly conducted by utilizing a critical decision criterion depending on the degree of correlation. Specifically, artificial neural network and probabilistic neural network are employed to correctly estimate the variability of complex system responses. Furthermore, an optimal design of the stretchable patch antenna is developed. This design will allow frequency shifts under tensile strain and still remain within reliable frequency ranges. The proposed approach is beneficial to the process of capturing and managing antenna design variables. The presented example clearly demonstrates the advantage of the obtained optimal design of the stretchable patch antenna compared to an ultra-wideband radar system that often requires complicated design processes and high computational costs.

The Ambient Compressive Strength (CS) of pellets, influenced by several factors, is regarded as a criterion to assess pellets during metallurgical processes. A prediction model based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was proposed in order to provide a reliable and economic control strategy for CS in pellet production and to forecast and control pellet CS. The dimensionality of 19 influence factors of CS was considered and reduced by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The PCA variables were then used as the input variables for the Back Propagation (BP) neural network, which was upgraded by Genetic Algorithm (GA), with CS as the output variable. After training and testing with production data, the PCA-GA-BP neural network was established. Additionally, the sensitivity analysis of input variables was calculated to obtain a detailed influence on pellet CS. It has been found that prediction accuracy of the PCA-GA-BP network mentioned here is 96.4%, indicating that the ANN network is effective to predict CS in the pelletizing process.

Aiming at the problems of the lack of abnormal instances and the lag of quality anomaly discovery in quality database, this paper proposed the method of recognizing quality anomaly from the quality control chart data by probabilistic neural network (PNN) optimized by improved genetic algorithm, which made up deficiencies of SPC control charts in practical application. Principal component analysis (PCA) reduced the dimension and extracted the feature of the original data of a control chart, which reduced the training time of PNN. PNN recognized successfully both single pattern and mixed pattern of control charts because of its simple network structure and excellent recognition effect. In order to eliminate the defect of experience value, the key parameter of PNN was optimized by the improved (SGA) single-target optimization genetic algorithm, which made PNN achieve a higher rate of recognition accuracy than PNN optimized by standard genetic algorithm. Finally, the above method was validated by a simulation experiment and proved to be the most effective method compared with traditional BP neural network, single PNN, PCA-PNN without parameters optimized, and SVM optimized by particle swarm optimization algorithm.

Bearing degradation process prediction is extremely important in industry. This article proposed a new method to achieve multi-steps bearing degradation prediction based on an improved back propagation neural network model. Firstly, time domain and time–frequency domain features extraction methods are employed to extract the original features from the mass vibration signals. However, the extracted original features still with high dimensional and include superfluous information, the multi-features fusion technique principal component analysis is used to merge the original features and reduce the dimension, the typical sensitive features can be extracted. Then, based on the extracted features, the improved three-layer back propagation neural network model is constructed and trained for multi-steps bearing degradation process prediction. The phase space construction method is used to determine the embedding dimension of the back propagation neural network model. An accelerated bearing run-to-failure experiment was carried out, the results proved the effectiveness of the methodology.

In this paper we study image recognition tasks in which the images are described by high dimensional feature vectors extracted with deep convolutional neural networks and principal component analysis. In particular, we focus on the problem of high computational complexity of a statistical approach with non-parametric estimates of probability density implemented by the probabilistic neural network. We propose a novel statistical classification method based on the density estimators with orthogonal expansions using trigonometric series. It is shown that this approach makes it possible to overcome the drawbacks of the probabilistic neural network caused by the memory-based approach of instance-based learning. Our experimental study with Caltech-101 and CASIA WebFace datasets demonstrates that the proposed approach reduces the error rate by 1–5 % and increases the computational speed by 1.5 – 6 times when compared to the original probabilistic neural network for small samples of reference images.
