Two hybrid model updating methods by integration of Gaussian mutation particle swarm optimization method, Latin Hypercube Sampling technique and meta models of Kriging and Back-Propagation Neural Network respectively were proposed, and the methods make the convergence speed of the model updating process faster and the Finite Element Model more adequate. Through the application of the hybrid methods to model updating process of a self-anchored suspension bridge in-service with extra-width, which showed great necessity considering the ambient vibration test results, the comparison of the two proposed methods was made. The results indicate that frequency differences between test and modified model were narrowed compared to results between test and original model after model updating using both methods as all the values are less than 6%, which is 25%−40% initially. Furthermore, the Model Assurance Criteria increase a little illustrating that more agreeable mode shapes are obtained as all of the Model Assurance Criteria are over 0.86. The particular advancements indicate that a relatively more adequate Finite Element Model is yielded with high efficiency without losing accuracy by both methods. However, the comparison among the two hybrid methods shows that the one with Back-Propagation Neural Network meta model is better than the one with Kriging meta model as the frequency differences of the former are mostly under 5%, but the latter ones are not. Furthermore, the former has higher efficiency than the other as the convergence speed of the former is faster. Thus, the hybrid method, within Gaussian mutation particle swarm optimization method and Back-Propagation Neural Network meta model, is more suitable for model updating of engineering applications with large-scale, multi-dimensional parameter structures involving implicit performance functions.

The Finite Element Model

Based on the artificial neural network, the parameters of a steel truss are identified. And the finite element model of truss is corrected. In order to improve the efficiency of model updating by artificial neural networks, the momentum is introduced into the back propagation algorithm. Based on the theory of probability and mathematical statistics, the expectation confidence interval of the measured deflections and strains is obtained. In this way, the samples to train the neural network are optimized. The numerical results show that the back propagation neural network proposed on this paper is able to correct the finite element model of the truss effectively.

The Relationship

This paper presents an optimization method for the design of the layout of an autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) fleet to minimize the drag force. The layout of the AUV fleet is defined by two nondimensional parameters. Firstly, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are performed on the fleets with different layout parameters and detailed information on the hydrodynamic forces and flow structures around the AUVs is obtained. Then, based on the CFD data, a back-propagation neural network (BPNN) method is used to describe the relationship between the layout parameters and the drag of the fleet. Finally, a genetic algorithm (GA) is chosen to obtain the optimal layout parameters which correspond to the minimum drag. The optimization results show that (1) the total drag of the AUV fleet can be reduced by 12% when the follower AUV is located directly behind the leader AUV and (2) the drag of the follower AUV can be reduced by 66% when it is by the side of the leader AUV.

Under the influence of COVID-19, the economic benefits of shale gas development are greatly affected. With the large-scale development and utilization of shale gas in China, it is increasingly important to assess the economic impact of shale gas development. Therefore, this paper proposes a method for predicting the production of shale gas reservoirs, and uses back propagation (BP) neural network to nonlinearly fit reservoir reconstruction data to obtain shale gas well production forecasting models. Experiments show that compared with the traditional BP neural network, the proposed method can effectively improve the accuracy and stability of the prediction. There is a nonlinear correlation between reservoir reconstruction data and gas well production, which does not apply to traditional linear prediction methods

Background: In order to retrieve a particular image from vast repository of images, an efficient system is required and such an eminent system is well-known by the name Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system. Color is indeed an important attribute of an image and the proposed system consist of a hybrid color descriptor which is used for color feature extraction. Deep learning, has gained a prominent importance in the current era. So, the performance of this fusion based color descriptor is also analyzed in the presence of Deep learning classifiers. Method: This paper describes a comparative experimental analysis on various color descriptors and the best two are chosen to form an efficient color based hybrid system denoted as combined color moment-color autocorrelogram (Co-CMCAC). Then, to increase the retrieval accuracy of the hybrid system, a Cascade forward back propagation neural network (CFBPNN) is used. The classification accuracy obtained by using CFBPNN is also compared to Patternnet neural network. Results: The results of the hybrid color descriptor depict that the proposed system has superior results of the order of 95.4%, 88.2%, 84.4% and 96.05% on Corel-1K, Corel-5K, Corel-10K and Oxford flower benchmark datasets respectively as compared to many state-of-the-art related techniques. Conclusion: This paper depict an experimental and analytical analysis on different color feature descriptors namely, Color moment (CM), Color auto-correlogram (CAC), Color histogram (CH), Color coherence vector (CCV) and Dominant color descriptor (DCD). The proposed hybrid color descriptor (Co-CMCAC) is utilized for the withdrawal of color features with Cascade forward back propagation neural network (CFBPNN) is used as a classifier on four benchmark datasets namely Corel-1K, Corel-5K and Corel-10K and Oxford flower.
