Resilient modulus of material is an important parameter for pavement structure design and analysis. However it is very tedious to get this parameter for hot mixture asphalt in laboratory. Moreover it takes long time to do experiments. In this paper, artificial neural network (ANN) is applied to predict to resilient modulus for hot mixture asphalt. A neural network model is constructed and trained plenty of times with selected test data until precision meets requirement. Then the model is used to predict resilient modulus for hot mix asphalt. Result of contrast prediction with test data shows that forecast precision is high. This provides a new method to predict resilient modulus for hot mixture asphalt.

This study aims to simulate performance deterioration of a microturbine and apply artificial neural network to its performance diagnosis. As it is hard to obtain test data with degraded component performance, the degraded engine data have been acquired through simulation. Artificial neural network is adopted as the diagnosis tool. First, the microturbine has been tested to get reference operation data, assumed to be degradation free. Then, a simulation program was set up to regenerate the performance test data. Deterioration of each component (compressor, turbine and recuperator) was modeled by changes in the component characteristic parameters such as compressor and turbine efficiency, their flow capacities and recuperator effectiveness and pressure drop. Single and double faults (deterioration of single and two components) were simulated to generate fault data. The neural network was trained with majority of the data sets. Then, the remaining data sets were used to check the predictability of the neural network. Given measurable performance parameters (power, temperatures, pressures) as inputs to the neural network, characteristic parameters of each component were predicted as outputs and compared with original data. The neural network produced sufficiently accurate prediction. Reducing the number of input data decreased prediction accuracy. However, excluding up to a couple of input data still produced acceptable accuracy.

This paper discusses the damage identification using artificial neural network methods for the benchmark problem set up by IASC-ASCE Task Group on Health Monitoring. A three-stage damage identification strategy for building structures is proposed. The BP network and PNN are employed for damage localization and BP network for damage extent identification. Four damage patterns (patterns i~iv) in Cases 1-6 are discussed. The comparison between BP network and PNN are carried out. The results show that PNN performs better than BP network in damage localization. The damage extent identification using BPN is successful even in Cases 2 and 5&6 in which the modeling error is quite large.
