An improved Neural Kalman Filtering Algorithm in the analysis of cyclic behaviour of concrete specimens
Journal Title: Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science - Year 2011, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
The article is related to the results of research on Node Decoupled Extended Kalman Filtering (NDEKF) as a learning method for the training of Multilayer Perceptron (MPL). Developments of this method made by the author are presented. The application of NDEKF and MPL and other methods (pruning of MLP, Gauss Process model calibrated by Genetic Algorithm and Bayesian learning methods) are discussed on the problem of hysteresis loop simulations for tests of compressed concrete specimens subjected to cyclic loading.

On inverse form finding for orthotropic plasticity
Inverse form finding aims to determine the optimum blank design of a workpiece whereby the desired spatial configuration that is obtained after a forming process, the boundary conditions and the applied loads are known....
Soft methods in the prediction and identification analysis of axially compressed R/C columns
Two problems are presented in the paper concerning axial loading of R/C columns: I) prediction of critical loads, II) identification of concrete strength. The problems were analyzed by two methods: A) Gaussian Processes...
FE based structural reliability analysis using STAND environment. (Received in the final form December 19, 2008).
An assessment of structural reliability requires multiple evaluations of the limit state function for various realizations of random parameters of the structural system. In the majority of industrial applications the lim...
