Soft methods in the prediction and identification analysis of axially compressed R/C columns
Journal Title: Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science - Year 2014, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
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 Method, B) Advanced Back-Propagation Neural Network. The results of the numerical analysis are discussed with respect to numerical efficiency of the applied methods.

Numerical procedure of solving some inverse problem in solidification of the binary alloy
The paper presents a solution of an inverse problem consisting in determination of boundary conditions in the process of binary alloy solidification when temperature measurements in selected points of the cast are known....
A mixed, scalable domain decomposition method for incompressible flow
This work deals with the construction of a mixed and extensible domain decomposition method for incompressible flows. In the scheme proposed here, the solution is sought at the intersection of two spaces, one containing...
Application of neural networks for structure updating
The paper presents the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for finite element (FE) models updating. The investigated structures are beams and frames, their models are updated by ANNs with input vectors compo...
Validation problems in computational fluid mechanics
Recent developments in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) increased interest in quantifying quality of the numerical models. One of the necessary steps is the so-called code validation procedure, an assessment of a numer...
Trabecular bone numerical homogenization with the use of buffer zone
