Steel columns under fire—a neural network based strength model

This paper presents a strength model of steel columns under elevated temperatures using the artificial neural network. The many influencing parameters make it difficult to build an analytical steel strength model. Being a flexible model building method, the artificial neural network is an ideal tool to construct the complex relationship between the input and the output parameters accurately. A hybrid neural network, which combines the sigmoid neurons and the radial basis function neurons at the hidden layer, is proposed to better map the input–output relationship both locally and globally. The use of the genetic algorithm approach in searching the best-hidden neurons makes the hybrid neural network less likely to be trapped in local minima than the traditional gradient-based search algorithms. The genetic algorithm based hybrid neural network is applied to model the strength of steel columns under fire. The neural network results are compared with the modified Rankine formula.     

Query based model learning and stable tracking of a robot arm using radial basis function network

In the context of a robot manipulator, a generalized neural emulator over the complete workspace is very difficult to obtain because of dimensionally insufficient training data. A query based learning algorithm is proposed in this paper that can generate new examples where control inputs are independent of states of the system. This algorithm is centered around the concept of network inversion using an extended Kalman filtering based algorithm. This is a novel idea since robot manipulator is an open loop unstable system and generation of control input independent of state is a research issue for neural model identification. Two trajectory independent stable control schemes have been designed using the neural emulator. One of the control schemes uses forward-inverse-modeling approach to update the controller parameters adaptively following Lyapunov function synthesis technique. The proposed scheme is trajectory independent unlike the back-propagation scheme. The second type of controller predicts the minimum variance estimate of control action using recall process (network inversion) and the control law is derived following a Lyapunov function synthesis approach so that the closed loop system consisting of controller and neural emulator remains stable. The simulation experiments show that the model validation approach is efficient and the proposed control schemes guarantee stable accurate tracking.     

Optimising a production process by a neural network/genetic algorithm approach

An important aspect of production control is the quality of the resulting end product. The end product should have optimal product characteristics and minimal faults. In theory, both objectives can be realised using an optimisation algorithm. However, the complexity of a production process may be very high. In most cases no mathematical function can be found to represent the production process. In this paper a method is presented to simulate a complex production process using a neural network. The subsequent optimisation is done by means of a genetic algorithm. The method is applied to the case study of a spinning (fibre-yarn) production process. The neural network is used to model the process, with the machine settings and fibre quality parameters as input, and the yarn tenacity (yarn strength) and elongation as output. The genetic algorithm is then used to optimise the input parameters for obtaining the best yarns. Since it is a multiobjective optimisation, the genetic algorithm is enforced with a sharing function and a Pareto optimisation. The paper shows that simultaneous optimisation of yarn qualities is easily achieved as a function of the necessary (optimal) input parameters, and that the results are considerably better than current manual machine intervention. The paper concludes by indicating future research towards making an optimal mixture of available fibre qualities.

Neuro-genetic approach to optimize parameter design of dynamic multiresponse experiments

Engineers have widely applied the Taguchi method, a traditional approach for robust experimental design, to a variety of quality engineering problems for enhancing system robustness. However, the Taguchi method is unable to deal with dynamic multiresponse owing to increasing complexity of the product or design process. Although several alternative approaches have been presented to resolve this problem, they cannot effectively treat situations in which the control factors have continuous values. This study incorporates desirability functions into a hybrid neural network/genetic algorithm approach to optimize the parameter design of dynamic multiresponse with continuous values of parameters. The objective is to find the optimal combination of control factors to simultaneously maximize robustness of each response. The proposed approach is based on three stages which (1) use neural networks for constructing a response function model of a dynamic multiresponse system, (2) use exponential desirability functions for evaluating overall performance of a specific factor combination, and (3) use a genetic algorithm to optimize parameter design. Effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated with a simulated example. Analysis results reveal that the approach has higher performance than the traditional experimental design.     

A novel design of high-sensitive fuzzy PID controller

A hybrid model is designed by combining the genetic algorithm (GA), radial basis function neural network (RBF-NN) and Sugeno fuzzy logic to determine the optimal parameters of a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. Our approach used the rule base of the Sugeno fuzzy system and fuzzy PID controller of the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) to improve the system sensitive response. The rule base is developed by proposing a feature extraction for genetic neural fuzzy PID controller through integrating the GA with radial basis function neural network. The GNFPID controller is found to possess excellent features of easy implementation, stable convergence characteristic, good computational efficiency and high-quality solution. Our simulation provides high sensitive response (∼0.005 s) of an AVR system compared to the real-code genetic algorithm (RGA), a linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) method and GA. We assert that GNFPID is highly efficient and robust in improving the sensitive response of an AVR system.     

Hierarchical genetic algorithm based RBF neural networks and application for modelling of the automatic depth control electrohydraulic system

The paper presents an approach to model nonlinear dynamic behaviors of the Automatic Depth Control Electrohydraulic System (ADCES) of a certain minesweeping weapon with Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks trained by hierarchical genetic algorithm. In the proposed hierarchical genetic algorithm, the control genes are used to determine the number of hidden units, and the parameter genes are used to identify center parameters of hidden units. In order to speed up convergence of the proposed algorithm, width and weight parameters of RBF neural network are calculated by linear algebra methods. The proposed approach is applied to the modelling of the ADCES, and experimental results clearly indicate that the obtained RBF neural network can emulate complex dynamic characteristics of the ADCES satisfactorily. The comparison results also show that the proposed approach performs better than the traditional clustering-based method.

Predicting Aflatoxin Contamination in Peanuts: A Genetic Algorithm/Neural Network Approach

Aflatoxin contamination in peanut crops is a problem of significant health and financial importance. Predicting aflatoxin levels prior to crop harvest is useful for minimizing the impact of a contaminated crop and is the goal of our research. Backpropagation neural networks have been used to model problems of this type, however development of networks poses the complex problem of setting values for architectural features and backpropagation parameters. Genetic algorithms have been used in other studies to determine parameters for backpropagation neural networks. This paper describes the development of a genetic algorithm/backpropagation neural network hybrid (GA/BPN) in which a genetic algorithm is used to find architectures and backpropagation parameter values simultaneously for a backpropagation neural network that predicts aflatoxin contamination levels in peanuts based on environmental data. Learning rate, momentum, and number of hidden nodes are the parameters that are set by the genetic algorithm. A three-layer feed-forward network with logistic activation functions is used. Inputs to the network are soil temperature, drought duration, crop age, and accumulated heat units. The project showed that the GA/BPN approach automatically finds highly fit parameter sets for backpropagation neural networks for the aflatoxin problem.

Tuning the structure and parameters of a neural network by using hybrid Taguchi-genetic algorithm

In this paper, a hybrid Taguchi-genetic algorithm (HTGA) is applied to solve the problem of tuning both network structure and parameters of a feedforward neural network. The HTGA approach is a method of combining the traditional genetic algorithm (TGA), which has a powerful global exploration capability, with the Taguchi method, which can exploit the optimum offspring. The Taguchi method is inserted between crossover and mutation operations of a TGA. Then, the systematic reasoning ability of the Taguchi method is incorporated in the crossover operations to select the better genes to achieve crossover, and consequently enhance the genetic algorithms. Therefore, the HTGA approach can be more robust, statistically sound, and quickly convergent. First, the authors evaluate the performance of the presented HTGA approach by studying some global numerical optimization problems. Then, the presented HTGA approach is effectively applied to solve three examples on forecasting the sunspot numbers, tuning the associative memory, and solving the XOR problem. The numbers of hidden nodes and the links of the feedforward neural network are chosen by increasing them from small numbers until the learning performance is good enough. As a result, a partially connected feedforward neural network can be obtained after tuning. This implies that the cost of implementation of the neural network can be reduced. In these studied problems of tuning both network structure and parameters of a feedforward neural network, there are many parameters and numerous local optima so that these studied problems are challenging enough for evaluating the performances of any proposed GA-based approaches. The computational experiments show that the presented HTGA approach can obtain better results than the existing method reported recently in the literature.

Modelling of electrostatic fluidized bed (EFB) coating process using artificial neural networks

This paper involves experimentation on coating process of metal substrates in an electrostatic fluidized bed (EFB). Several operational parameters were covered like coating time, applied voltage and gas flow rate fed to the fluidized bed.First, a design of experiment (DOE) approach was used to define the experimental campaign and a general linear model based on analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to elaborate and interpret the influence of all the operational parameters on coating thickness trends.Second, the experimental data were modelled using artificial neural networks. Different neural networks and training algorithms were employed to find the best technique to predict the coating thickness trends. The reliability of the best neural network solutions was checked by comparing them with a built ad hoc regression model. The multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network trained with back-propagation (BP) algorithm was found to be the fittest model. Besides, a genetic algorithm (GA) was also employed to improve the capability of MLP model to provide the best fit of experimental results all over the investigated ranges.Finally, a verification experimental plan was performed and a related analytical model was developed to check the reliability of the neural network model with GA to predict the whole coating thickness trends according to the operational parameters. A comparison between the neural network model and an analytical model was also carried out.
