Developing GEP tree-based,neuro-swarm,and whale optimization models for evaluation of bearing capacity of concrete-filled steel tube columns

The type of materials used in designing and constructing structures significantly affects the way the structures behave. The performance of concrete and steel, which are used as a composite in columns, has a considerable effect upon the structure behavior under different loading conditions. In this paper, several advanced methods were applied and developed to predict the bearing capacity of the concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns in two phases of prediction and optimization. In the prediction phase, bearing capacity values of CFST columns were estimated through developing gene expression programming (GEP)-based tree equation; then, the results were compared with the results obtained from a hybrid model of artificial neural network (ANN) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). In the modeling process, the outer diameter, concrete compressive strength, tensile yield stress of the steel column, thickness of steel cover, and the length of the samples were considered as the model inputs. After a series of analyses, the best predictive models were selected based on the coefficient of determination (R²) results. R² values of 0.928 and 0.939 for training and testing datasets of the selected GEP-based tree equation, respectively, demonstrated that GEP was able to provide higher performance capacity compared to PSO–ANN model with R² values of 0.910 and 0.904 and ANN with R² values of 0.895 and 0.881. In the optimization phase, whale optimization algorithm (WOA), which has not yet been applied in structural engineering, was selected and developed to maximize the results of the bearing capacity. Based on the obtained results, WOA, by increasing bearing capacity to 23436.63 kN, was able to maximize significantly the bearing capacity of CFST columns.

Optimal software release scheduling based on artificial neural networks

The determination of the optimal software release schedule plays an important role in supplying sufficiently reliable software products to actual market or users. In the existing methods, the optimal software release schedule was determined by assuming the stochastic and/or statistical model called software reliability growth model. In this paper, we propose a new method to estimate the optimal software release timing which minimizes the relevant cost criterion via artificial neural networks. Recently, artificial neural networks are actively studied with many practical applications and are applied to assess the software product reliability. First, we interpret the underlying cost minimization problem as a graphical one and show that it can be reduced to a simple time series forecasting problem. Secondly, artificial neural networks are used to estimate the fault-detection time in future. In numerical examples with actual field data, we compare the new method based on the neural networks with existing parametric methods using some software reliability growth models and illustrate its benefit in terms of predictive performance. A comprehensive bibliography on the software release problem is presented. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Rotating machine fault detection based on HOS and artificial neural networks

In order to identify the faults of rotating machinery, classification process can be divided into two stages: one is the signal preprocessing and the feature extraction; the other is the recognition process. In the preprocessing and feature extraction stage, the higher-order statistics (HOS) is used to extract features from the vibration signals. In the recognition process, two kinds of neural network classifier are used to evaluate the classification results. These two classifiers are self-organizing feature mapping (SOM) network for collecting data at the initial stage and learning vector quantization (LVQ) network at the identification stage. The experimental results obtained from HOS as preprocessor to extract the features of fault are clearer than those obtained from the power spectrum. In addition, the recognizable rate by using either SOM or LVQ as classifiers is 100%.
