The article presents the use of artificial neural networks (ANN) to build a system of analysis and forecasting of the durability of forging tools and the process of acquiring the source knowledge necessary for the network learning process. In particular, the study focuses on the prediction of the geometrical loss of the tool material after different surface treatment variants.The methodology of developing neural network models and their quality parameters is also presented. The standard single-layer MLP networks were used here; their quality parameters are at a high level and the results presented with their participation give satisfactory results in line with technological practice. The data used in the learning process come from extensive comprehensive performance tests of forging tools operating under extreme operating conditions (cyclic mechanical and thermal loads). The parameterization of the factors important for the selected forging process was made and a database was developed, including 900 knowledge vectors, each of which provided information on the size of the geometrical loss of the tool material (explained variables). The value of wear was determined for the set values of explanatory variables such as: number of forgings, pressure, temperature on selected tool surfaces, friction path and the variant of the applied surface treatment. The results presented in the study, confirmed by expert technologists, have a clear applicational character, because based on the presented solutions, the optimal treatment can be chosen and the appropriate preventive measures applied, which will extend the service life.

Methanol Fuel Cell

A direct methanol fuel cell can convert chemical energy in the form of a liquid fuel into electrical energy to power devices, while simultaneously operating at low temperatures and producing virtually no greenhouse gases. Since the direct methanol fuel cell performance characteristics are inherently nonlinear and complex, it can be postulated that artificial neural networks represent a marked improvement in performance prediction capabilities. Artificial neural networks have long been used as a tool in predictive modeling. In this work, an artificial neural network is employed to predict the performance of a direct methanol fuel cell under various operating conditions. This work on the experimental analysis of a uniquely designed fuel cell and the computational modeling of a unique algorithm has not been found in prior literature outside of the authors and their affiliations. The fuel cell input variables for the performance analysis consist not only of the methanol concentration, fuel cell temperature, and current density, but also the number of cells and anode flow rate. The addition of the two typically unconventional variables allows for a more distinctive model when compared to prior neural network models. The key performance indicator of our neural network model is the cell voltage, which is an average voltage across the stack and ranges from 0 to 0:8V. Experimental studies were carried out using DMFC stacks custom-fabricated, with a membrane electrode assembly consisting of an additional unique liquid barrier layer to minimize water loss through the cathode side to the atmosphere. To determine the best fit of the model to the experimental cell voltage data, the model is trained using two different second order training algorithms: OWO-Newton and Levenberg-Marquardt (LM). The OWO-Newton algorithm has a topology that is slightly different from the topology of the LM algorithm by the employment of bypass weights. It can be concluded that the application of artificial neural networks can rapidly construct a predictive model of the cell voltage for a wide range of operating conditions with an accuracy of 10−3 to 10−4. The results were comparable with existing literature. The added dimensionality of the number of cells provided insight into scalability where the coefficient of the determination of the results for the two multi-cell stacks using LM algorithm were up to 0:9998. The model was also evaluated with empirical data of a single-cell stack.

The study examined the use of artificial neural network models to predict the exchange rate in Sudan through annual exchange rate data between the US dollar and the Sudanese pound. This study aimed to formulate the models of artificial neural networks in which the exchange rate can be predicted in the coming period. The importance of the study is that it is necessary to use modern models to predict instead of other classical models. The study hypothesized that the models of artificial neural networks have a high ability to predict the exchange rate. Use models of artificial neural networks. The most important results ability of artificial neural networks models to predict the exchange rate accurately, Form MLP (1-1-1) is the best model chosen for that purpose. The study recommended the development of the proposed model for long-term forecasting.

This work is devoted to synthesis of adaptive hybrid systems based on the Computational Intelligence (CI) methods (especially artificial neural networks (ANNs)) and the Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) ideas to get new qualitative results in Data Mining, Intelligent Control and other scientific areas. The GMDH-artificial neural networks (GMDH-ANNs) are currently well-known. Their nodes are two-input N-Adalines. On the other hand, these ANNs can require a considerable number of hidden layers for a necessary approximation quality. Introduced Q-neurons can provide a higher quality using the quadratic approximation. Their main advantage is a high learning rate. Universal approximating properties of the GMDH-ANNs can be achieved with the help of compartmental R-neurons representing a two-input RBFN with the grid partitioning of the input variables' space. An adjustment procedure of synaptic weights as well as both centers and receptive fields is provided. At the same time, Epanechnikov kernels (their derivatives are linear to adjusted parameters) can be used instead of conventional Gauss functions in order to increase a learning process rate. More complex tasks deal with stochastic time series processing. This kind of tasks can be solved with the help of the introduced adaptive W-neurons (wavelets). Learning algorithms are characterized by both tracking and smoothing properties based on the quadratic learning criterion. Robust algorithms which eliminate an influence of abnormal outliers on the learning process are introduced too. Theoretical results are illustrated by multiple experiments that confirm the proposed approach's effectiveness.

Black Box Models

Modelling techniques allow certain processes to be characterized and optimized without the need for experimentation. One of the crucial steps in vinegar production is the biotransformation of ethanol into acetic acid by acetic bacteria. This step has been extensively studied by using two predictive models: first-principles models and black-box models. The fact that first-principles models are less accurate than black-box models under extreme bacterial growth conditions suggests that the kinetic equations used by the former, and hence their goodness of fit, can be further improved. By contrast, black-box models predict acetic acid production accurately enough under virtually any operating conditions. In this work, we trained black-box models based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) of the multilayer perceptron (MLP) type and containing a single hidden layer to model acetification. The small number of data typically available for a bioprocess makes it rather difficult to identify the most suitable type of ANN architecture in terms of indices such as the mean square error (MSE). This places ANN methodology at a disadvantage against alternative techniques and, especially, polynomial modelling.

The intelligent control as fuzzy or artificial is based on either expert knowledge or experimental data and therefore it possesses intrinsic qualities like robustness and ease implementation. Lately, many researchers present studies aim to show that this kind of control can be used in practical applications such as the idle speed control problem in automotive industry. In this study, an estimation of an automobile three-way catalyst performance with artificial neural networks is presented. It may be an alternative approach for an on board diagnostic system (OBD) to predict the catalyst performance. This method was tested using data sets from two kind of catalysts, a brand new and an old one on a laboratory bench at idle speed. The catalyst operation during the “steady state” phase (the phase that the catalyst has reached its operating conditions and works normally) is examined. Further experiments are needed for different catalyst typed before the methods is proposed generally. It consists of 855 elements of catalyst inlet-outlet temperature difference (DT), hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The simulation: detects the values of HC, CO, CO2 using the DT as an input to our network forms a neural network. Results showed serious indications that artificial neural networks (or fuzzy logic control laws) could estimate the catalyst performance adequately depending their training process, if certain information about the catalyst system and the inputs and output of such system are known. In this study the “steady state” period experimental results are presented. In this paper the “steady state” period experimental results are presented.
