Abstract Hydraulic jump has numerous applications in the field of hydraulic engineering, such as energy dissipation over spillways, chlorinating of wastewater and many others. The sequent depth ratio is one of the important characteristics of hydraulic jump useful in designing the stilling basin. Despite its importance, the exact value of sequent depth ratio is still undetermined. In the present study an attempt has been made to find out the effects of roughness heights and slopes by conducting an experimental study and artificial neural network (ANN) model. Three different roughness heights of crushed and rounded aggregates and two positive bed slopes were used. The experimental results show that the reductions in sequent depth ratios are more in the case of crushed aggregate (4%–35%) than rounded on the same slope. By increasing bed slope, the sequent depth ratios show increasing trend in the range 3%–45%. The proposed ANN model has the capability to predict the sequent depth ratio with least MAPE (mean absolute percentage error) value 3.15%. Therefore, based on the results obtained from the empirical model and ANN model, it has been concluded that the present study can be better utilized for the estimation of the sequent depth ratio of hydraulic jump.

The effect of changing in the bed slope of stilling basins produces changing in characteristics of the hydraulic jump such as sequent depth ratio, length of jump ratio, length of the roller and energy dissipation ratio, consequently the dimensions of stilling basin changed. In this study hydraulic jump investigated on smooth bed (without any appurtenances) for three adverse slopes (- 0.03, - 0.045, - 0.06) in addition to horizontal bed slope, the experiments were applied for the range of Froude number (Fr1) between 3.99 and 7.48. The results showed a reduction about10 % in sequent depth ratio, 22.1 % in length of jump ratio, 20.51 % in length of roller ratio and 13.87% in the energy dissipation ratio when the adverse slope (- 0.06) used instead of horizontal bed for the same Froude numbers. Empirical equations for the sequent depth ratio, length of roller ratio and the energy dissipation ratio were obtained from the experimental data

Backcalculation analysis of pavement layer moduli is typically conducted based on falling weight deflectometer (FWD) measurements; however, the stationary nature of FWD requires lane closure and traffic control. To overcome these limitations, a number of continuous deflection devices were introduced in recent years. The objective of this study was to develop a methodology to incorporate traffic speed deflectometer (TSD) measurements in the backcalculation analysis. To achieve this objective, TSD and FWD measurements were used to train and to validate an artificial neural network (ANN) model that would convert TSD deflection measurements to FWD deflection measurements. The ANN model showed acceptable accuracy with a coefficient of determination of 0.81 and a good agreement between the backcalculated moduli from FWD and TSD measurements. Evaluation of the model showed that the backcalculated layer moduli from TSD could be used in pavement analysis and in structural health monitoring with a reasonable level of accuracy.

An artificial neural network (ANN) model with six hydrological factors including time of concentration (TC), curve number, slope, imperviousness, area and input discharge as input parameters and number of check dams (NCD) as output parameters was developed and created using GIS and field surveys. The performance of this model was assessed by the coefficient of determination R2, root mean square error (RMSE), values account and mean absolute error (MAE). The results showed that the computed values of NCD using ANN with a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) model regarding RMSE, MAE, values adjustment factor (VAF), and R2 (1.75, 1.25, 90.74, and 0.97) for training, (1.34, 0.89, 97.52, and 0.99) for validation and (0.53, 0.8, 98.32, and 0.99) for test stage, respectively, were in close agreement with their respective values in the watershed. Finally, the sensitivity analysis showed that the area, TC and curve number were the most effective parameters in estimating the number of check dams.

Since rice is a staple food in Malaysia, its price fluctuations pose risks to the producers, suppliers and consumers. Hence, an accurate prediction of paddy price is essential to aid the planning and decision-making in related organizations. The artificial neural network (ANN) has been widely used as a promising method for time series forecasting. In this paper, the effectiveness of integrating empirical mode decomposition (EMD) into an ANN model to forecast paddy price is investigated. The hybrid method is applied on a series of monthly paddy prices fromFebruary 1999 up toMay 2018 as recorded in the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) per metric tons. The performance of the simple ANN model and the EMD-ANN model was measured and compared based on their root mean squared Error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and mean percentage error (MPE). This study finds that the integration of EMD into the neural network model improves the forecasting capabilities. The use of EMD in the ANN model made the forecast errors reduced significantly, and the RMSE was reduced by 0.012, MAE by 0.0002 and MPE by 0.0448.

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.

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.

Abstract Hydraulic jump is a highly important phenomenon for dissipation of energy. This event, which involves flow regime change, can occur in many different types of stilling basins. In this study, hydraulic jump characteristics such as relative jump length and sequent depth ratio occurring in a suddenly expanding stilling basin were estimated using hybrid Extreme Learning Machine (ELM). To hybridize ELM, Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA), Firefly Algorithm (FA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) metaheuristic algorithms were implemented. In addition, six different models were established to determine effective dimensionless (relative) input variables. A new dataset was constructed by adding the data obtained from the experimental study in the present research to the data obtained from the literature. The performance of each model was evaluated using k-fold cross validation. Results showed that ICA hybridization slightly outperformed FA and PSO methods. Considering relative input parameters, Froude number (Fr), expansion ratio (B) and relative sill height (S), and effective input combinations were Fr – B– S and Fr – B for the prediction of the sequent depth ratio (Y) and relative hydraulic jump length (Lj/h1), respectively.

Abstract The hydraulic jump phenomenon is a beneficial tool in open channels for dissipating the extra energy of the flow. The sequent depth ratio and hydraulic jump length critically contribute to designing hydraulic structures. In this research, the capability of Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) as kernel-based approaches was evaluated to estimate the features of submerged and free hydraulic jumps in channels with rough elements and various shapes, followed by comparing the findings of GPR and SVM models and the semi-empirical equations. The results represented the effect of the geometry (i.e., steps and roughness elements) of the applied appurtenances on hydraulic jump features in channels with appurtenances. Moreover, the findings confirmed the significance of the upstream Froude number in the sequent depth ratio estimating in submerged and free hydraulic jumps. In addition, the immersion was the highest contributing variable regarding the submerged jump length on sloped smooth bed and horizontal channels. Based on the comparisons among kernel-based approaches and the semi-empirical equations, kernel-based models showed better performance than these equations. Finally, an uncertainty analysis was conducted to assess the dependability of the best applied model. The results revealed that the GRP model possesses an acceptable level of uncertainty in the modeling process.
