Neural networks in the advisory system for repairs of industrial concrete floors
Journal Title: Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science - Year 2011, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
An advisory system for repairs of industrial concrete floors is a supporting tool for making material and technological decisions in the sphere of problems of recurrent character. The presented advisory system has the character of a hybrid system. Various elements of tools from the artificial intelligence group have been used in it. Artificial neural networks are of particular importance for functioning of the system. They act as an inference engine. The article presents, inter alia, an approach in the sphere of teaching artificial neural networks on the basis of an expert's knowledge, as well as utilization of fuzzy sets for data transformation and for increasing the size of the case set. The conclusions indicate the profits resulting from utilization of artificial neural networks like speed of operation or absence of the need to possess complete knowledge.

A meshless method using global radial basis functions for creating 3-D wind fields from sparse meteorological data
An efficient, global meshless method has been developed for creating 3-D wind fields utilizing sparse meteorological tower data. Meshless methods do not require the need for a mesh in order to connect node points. In thi...
Numerical studies of dynamic stability under small random parametric excitations
An efficient numerical procedure is proposed to obtain mean-square stability regions for both single-degree-of-freedom and two-degree-of-freedom linear systems under parametric bounded noise excitation. This procedure re...
Analysis of fluid-structure interaction of a torus subjected to wind loads
In the paper the aerodynamic forces acting on a part of a water slide or other object with curved, tubular shape, depending on the section of a torus and value of the wind velocity, were obtained. This was done by means...
Recent developments in numerical homogenization. (Received in the final form February 11, 2010)
This paper deals with homogenization of non linear fibre-reinforced composites in the coupled thermomechanical field. For this kind of structures, i.e. inclusions randomly dispersed in a matrix, the self consistent metho...
