Frost heave action is a major issue in permafrost regions that can give rise to various geotechnical engineering problems. To analyze and predict this phenomenon at a specimen scale, this study conducted a fully coupled thermal-hydro-mechanical analysis and evaluated the frost heave behavior of frozen soil considering geotechnical parameters. Furthermore, a parametric study was performed to quantitatively analyze the effects of major geotechnical properties on frost heave behavior. According to the results of the parametric study, the amount of heave tended to decrease as the particle thermal conductivity increased, whereas the frost heave ratio tended to increase as the initial hydraulic conductivity increased. After evaluating the sensitivity of each parameter to frost heave behavior through statistical analyses, an artificial neural network model was developed to practically predict frost heave behavior. According to the verification results of the neural network model, the trained network model demonstrated a reliable accuracy (R2 = 0.893) in predicting frost heave ratio, even when the model used test datasets that were not part of the training datasets.

ABSTRAKTren perkembangan pembiayaan di Indonesia mulai meningkat namun cenderung melambat dari tahun ke tahun. Peramalan pertumbuhan pembiayaan pada bank syariah menjadi hal yang menarik karena naik turunnya pembiayaan akan berdampak pada perekonomian Indonesia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini melakukan peramalan pertumbuhan pembiayaan dalam jangka waktu setahun melalui metode Jaringan Saraf Tiruan pada data Bank BNI Syariah dari tahun 2015 sampai dengan 2019. Hasil dari peramalan diharapkan memberi informasi bagi bank untuk menunjang pengambilan keputusan dan menyiapkan strategi meningkatkan pembiayaan sehingga semakin besar laba yang akan diperoleh. Model peramalan dibuat berdasarkan metode peramalan dan ditujukan untuk digunakan pada aplikasi peramalan pembiayaan. Model Jaringan Saraf Tiruan memiliki nilai akurasi peramalan yang tinggi karena memiliki nilai error RMSE, MAPE yang minimum. Dari hasil peramalan menggunakan model Jaringan Saraf Tiruan menunjukkan terjadi peningkatan pembiayaan pada setiap bulannya untuk akad murabahah, mudharabah, musyarakah dan qardh. Hanya pembiayaan yang menggunakan ijarah yang mengalami penurunan drastis dibanding tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Pembiayaan murabahah masih tetap mendominasi dibanding akad mudharabah, musyarakah, qardh dan ijarah selama tahun 2020 Kata Kunci: Jaringan Saraf Tiruan ;PembiayaanABSTRACT Trend of financing development in Indonesia is starting to increase but tends to slow down from year to year. It is interesting to forecast the growth of financing in Islamic banks because the up and down of financing will have an impact on the Indonesian economy. The purpose of this study to forecast financing growth within a year through the Neural Network method on BNI Syariah Bank data from 2015 to 2019. The results of the forecast are expected to provide information for banks to support decision making and prepare strategies to increase financing so that greater profits that will be obtained. The forecasting model is made based on the forecasting method and is intended for use in financing forecasting applications. The Artificial Neural Network Model has a high value of forecasting accuracy because it has a minimum error value of RMSE, MAPE. The results of forecasting using the Artificial Neural Network model show an increase in financing every month for murabahah, mudharabah, musyarakah and qardh contracts. Only financing using ijarah has experienced a drastic decline compared to previous years. Murabahah financing still dominates over the mudharabah, musyarakah, qardh and ijarah contracts during 2020Keyword: Arificial Neural Network ;Financing

A novel coaxial ducted fan aerial robot with a manipulator is proposed which can achieve some hover operation tasks in a corner environment, such as switching on and off a wall-attached button on the corner. In order to study the aerodynamic interference between the prototype and the environment when the aerial robot is hovering in the corner environment, a method for the comprehensive modeling of the prototype and corner environment based on the artificial neural network is presented. By using the CFD simulation software, the flow field of the prototype at different positions with the corner effect is analyzed. After determining the input, output and structure of the neural network model, the Adam and gradient descent algorithms are selected as the neural network training algorithms, respectively. In addition, to optimize the initial weights and biases of the neural network model, the genetic algorithm is precisely used. The three-dimensional prediction surfaces generated by the three methods of the neural network, kriging surface and the polynomial fitting are compared. The results show that the neural network has high prediction accuracy, and can be applied to the comprehensive modeling of the prototype and the corner environment.

Mechanical damage is recognized as a problem that reduces the performance of oil and gas pipelines and has been the subject of continuous research. The artificial neural network in the spotlight recently is expected to be another solution to solve the problems relating to the pipelines. The deep neural network, which is on the basis of artificial neural network algorithm and is a method amongst various machine learning methods, is applied in this study. The applicability of machine learning techniques such as deep neural network for the prediction of burst pressure has been investigated for dented API 5L X-grade pipelines. To this end, supervised learning is employed, and the deep neural network model has four layers with three hidden layers, and the neural network uses the fully connected layer. The burst pressure computed by deep neural network model has been compared with the results of finite element analysis based parametric study, and the burst pressure calculated by the experimental results. According to the comparison results, it showed good agreement. Therefore, it is concluded that deep neural networks can be another solution for predicting the burst pressure of API 5L X-grade dented pipelines.

Pre-existing cracks and associated filling materials cause the significant heterogeneity of natural rocks and rock masses. The induced heterogeneity changes the rock properties. This paper targets the gap in the existing literature regarding the adopting of artificial neural network approaches to efficiently and accurately predict the influences of heterogeneity on the strength of 3D-printed rocks at different strain rates. Herein, rock heterogeneity is reflected by different pre-existing crack and filling material configurations, quantitatively defined by the crack number, initial crack orientation with loading axis, crack tip distance, and crack offset distance. The artificial neural network model can be trained, validated, and tested by finite 42 quasi-static and 42 dynamic Brazilian disc experimental tests to establish the relationship between the rock strength and heterogeneous parameters at different strain rates. The artificial neural network architecture, including the hidden layer number and transfer functions, is optimized by the corresponding parametric study. Once trained, the proposed artificial neural network model generates an excellent prediction accuracy for influences of high dimensional heterogeneous parameters and strain rate on rock strength. The sensitivity analysis indicates that strain rate is the most important physical quantity affecting the strength of heterogeneous rock.
