The Kohonen artificial neural network is employed to divide a region of known seismicity into zones. Optimum boundaries and seismic design coefficients for each zone are determined by computing the expected present value of the total cost, including the initial cost of structures and damages due to earthquakes. The region is discretized into cells containing information on seismicity and the number of structural types. Then regionalization is performed, first without considering jurisdictional limits and later including this restriction. Up to four different types of structures are considered simultaneously in the regionalization. The results are presented in maps showing both zones and corresponding seismic design coefficients.

In the process of the “smart” house systems work, there is a need to process fuzzy input data. The models based on the artificial neural networks are used to process fuzzy input data from the sensors. However, each artificial neural network has a certain advantage and, with a different accuracy, allows one to process different types of data and generate control signals. To solve this problem, a method of choosing the optimal type of artificial neural network has been proposed. It is based on solving an optimization problem, where the optimization criterion is an error of a certain type of artificial neural network determined to control the corresponding subsystem of a “smart” house. In the process of learning different types of artificial neural networks, the same historical input data are used. The research presents the dependencies between the types of neural networks, the number of inner layers of the artificial neural network, the number of neurons on each inner layer, the error of the settings parameters calculation of the relative expected results.

An artificial neural network (ANN) model is constructed to derive the surface temperature of e-textile structures developed for cold weather clothing. A series of textile transmission lines made of different types of conductive yarns, insulated by using different types of seam tapes, were enclosed in a thermoplastic textile structure via hot air welding technology, and then they were powered with different levels of specific voltages in order to obtain different heating levels. The surface temperatures of the powered e-textile structures were measured using a thermal camera. The experimental input variables, sample type, temperature, feeding speed, resistance of samples, applied voltage and current were used to construct an ANN model and the outputs of surface temperature and electric power dissipated were used to test the prediction performance of the developed model. It was concluded that the ANN provided substantial predictive performance. Simulations based on the developed ANN model can estimate the surface temperature distributions of powered e-textile structures under different conditions. The ANN model developed for prediction of electric power dissipated was very successful and can be useful for e-textile product designers as well as textile manufacturers, particularly for cold weather protection products such as jackets, gloves and outdoor sleeping mats.

Ae Signals

Different types of rocks generate acoustic emission (AE) signals with various frequencies and amplitudes. How to determine rock types by their AE characteristics in field monitoring is also useful to understand their mechanical behaviors. Different types of rock specimens (granulite, granite, limestone, and siltstone) were subjected to uniaxial compression until failure, and their AE signals were recorded during their fracturing process. The wavelet transform was used to decompose the AE signals, and the artificial neural network (ANN) was established to recognize the rock types and noise (artificial knock noise and electrical noise). The results show that different rocks had different rupture features and AE characteristics. The wavelet transform provided a powerful method to acquire the basic characteristics of the rock AE and the environmental noises, such as the energy spectrum and the peak frequency, and the ANN was proved to be a good method to recognize AE signals from different types of rocks and the environmental noises.

Prediction Approach

Food waste planning at universities is often a complex matter due to the large volume of food and variety of services. A major portion of university food waste arises from dining systems including meal booking and distribution. Although dining systems have a significant role in generating food wastes, few studies have designed prediction models that could control such wastes based on reservation data and behavior of students at meal delivery times. To fill this gap, analyzing meal booking systems at universities, the present study proposed a new model based on machine learning to reduce the food waste generated at major universities that provide food subsidies. Students’ reservation and their presence or absence at the dining hall (show/no-show rate) at mealtime were incorporated in data analysis. Given the complexity of the relationship between the attributes and the uncertainty observed in user behavior, a model was designed to analyze definite and random components of demand. An artificial neural network-based model designed for demand prediction provided a two-step prediction approach to dealing with uncertainty in actual demand. In order to estimate the lowest total cost based on the cost of waste and the shortage penalty cost, an uncertainty-based analysis was conducted at the final step of the research. This study formed a framework that could reduce the food waste volume by up to 79% and control the penalty and waste cost in the case study. The model was investigated with cost analysis and the results proved its efficiency in reducing total cost.

Observation Period

In order to optimize methods of geodetic supporting the monitoring and interpretation data in oil-producing area of a reservoir field, we proposed a modeling method enabling to optimize the construction of a geodetic network and raise the accuracy of determining the earth’s surface deformation using parameters of the model and apply the “block” method for its assessment. The relevance of the block method choice is obvious, its implementation, is to ensure high accuracy of determination and prediction of subsidence. The method enables specifying the re-observation period and dividing the area into parts, which increases the accuracy of the result. The method is effective when using an artificial neural network (ANN). In this case, the ANN consists of two layers, which can be increased in the form of a three-layer network when arranging the forecasting process. At the activation function choice, three similar expressions were considered; the symmetric Gauss function was adopted as the optimal one. In the process of setting up the network for the “block” method, the setting up parameter and the number of inputs (signals) for each individual block for different types of signals were determined.

Artificial Hand

AbstractThis paper presents an artificial neural network (ANN) trained on the patterns of slip signals; these patterns were generated by using conventional sensors with a novel design of fingertip mechanism for detecting the slippage of a grasped object under different types of dynamic loads. This design is to be used with an underactuated triple finger artificial hand based on the pulleys-tendon mechanism. The grasped object is designed in a prism shape with three direct current motors with unbalance rotating mass to generate excitation in the object. Also, this object is covered with different types of surface materials, namely, spongy rubber, glass, and wood. Three types of external loads are used to disturb the grasping process represented by quasi-static pulling on the object, the dynamic load on the object, and on the artificial arm in separate form. The mathematical modeling has been derived for the proposed design to generate the signal of contact force components ratio through using the conventional sensor signals with the aid of Matlab-Simulink software. The ANN has been trained on the basis of the patterns of force component ratio signals at slippage occurrence, in order to detect slippage and then prevent it without the need for any knowledge about the surface properties of the grasped object. The experimental results are discussed in comparison with the physical aspect of the slippage phenomenon, and they show good agreement with the physical definition of the slippage phenomenon. In addition, the network evaluation results are discussed with different parameters that govern the controller operation, such as network error, classification efficiency, and delay in response time.
