This study presents Genetic programming (GP) as a new tool for the formulation of web crippling strength of cold-formed steel decks for various loading cases. There is no well established analytical solution of the problem due to complex plastic behaviour. The objective of this study is to provide an alternative robust formulation to related design codes and to verify the robustness of GP for the formulation of such structural engineering problems. The training and testing patterns of the proposed GP formulation are based on well established experimental results from the literature. The GP based formulation results are compared with experimental results and current design codes and found to be more accurate. 相似文献
Automatic key concept identification from text is the main challenging task in information extraction, information retrieval, digital libraries, ontology learning, and text analysis. The main difficulty lies in the issues with the text data itself, such as noise in text, diversity, scale of data, context dependency and word sense ambiguity. To cope with this challenge, numerous supervised and unsupervised approaches have been devised. The existing topical clustering-based approaches for keyphrase extraction are domain dependent and overlooks semantic similarity between candidate features while extracting the topical phrases. In this paper, a semantic based unsupervised approach (KP-Rank) is proposed for keyphrase extraction. In the proposed approach, we exploited Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) and clustering techniques and a novel frequency-based algorithm for candidate ranking is introduced which considers locality-based sentence, paragraph and section frequencies. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, three benchmark datasets (i.e. Inspec, 500N-KPCrowed and SemEval-2010) from different domains are used. The experimental results show that overall, the KP-Rank achieved significant improvements over the existing approaches on the selected performance measures.
The wavelet domain association rules method is proposed for efficient texture characterization. The concept of association rules to capture the frequently occurring local intensity variation in textures. The frequency of occurrence of these local patterns within a region is used as texture features. Since texture is basically a multi-scale phenomenon, multi-resolution approaches such as wavelets, are expected to perform efficiently for texture analysis. Thus, this study proposes a new algorithm which uses the wavelet domain association rules for texture classification. Essentially, this work is an extension version of an early work of the Rushing et al. [10], [11], where the generation of intensity domain association rules generation was proposed for efficient texture characterization. The wavelet domain and the intensity domain (gray scale) association rules were generated for performance comparison purposes. As a result, Rushing et al. [10], [11] demonstrated that intensity domain association rules performs much more accurate results than those of the methods which were compared in the Rushing et al. work. Moreover, the performed experimental studies showed the effectiveness of the wavelet domain association rules than the intensity domain association rules for texture classification problem. The overall success rate is about 97%. 相似文献
This study investigates an application of genetic programming (GP) for the prediction of peak ground acceleration (PGA) using strong-ground-motion data from Turkey. The input variables in the developed GP model are the average shear-wave velocity, earthquake source to site distance and earthquake magnitude, and the output is the PGA values. The proposed GP model is based on the most reliable database compiled for earthquakes in Turkey. The results show that the consistency between the observed PGA values and the predicted ones by the GP model yields relatively high correlation coefficients (R2=0.75). The proposed model is also compared with an existing attenuation relationship and found to be more accurate. 相似文献
In this study, a modeling study was carried out to investigate the potential of hydrogen production from greenhouse tomato and pepper residues blending in different rates (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) by air-steam gasification. The numerical model developed for the gasification system assumes that all carbon in the mixture is gasified. Air to fuel rate and steam to fuel rates are 0.05 due to high content of O2 in biomass residues. The gasifier temperature is 877 °C (1150 K) for developed model. According to the result of this study, increasing tomato residues blending rate increases hydrogen content of syngas. It is mainly caused by the content of O2 in tomato residues being higher than content of O2 in pepper residues. This study shows that the O2 content of greenhouse residues is an important factor in syngas production, especially in H2 production. 相似文献
This paper reports an investigation into new connection types and their behaviors determined using full-scale experiments. T-shaped connections were created using the IPE standard profile. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of T connections based on the IPE standard profile, height of beam to height of T-stub joint (H) of T-stub joints, and lengths (X) of T-stub joints on the behavior of steel connections, in order to provide the necessary data for improving Eurocode 3 and enable efficient use of residue IPE standard profiles and back to the consumption cycle. While the moment resistance values increased with an increase in H from Hmin to Hmax in model groups with X of 126 mm, and the energy dissipation increased with an increase in H from Hmin to Hmax and also with an increase in the lengths (X) of T-stub joints from 54 to 126 mm. 相似文献
Texture can be defined as a local statistical pattern of texture primitives in observer’s domain of interest. Texture classification aims to assign texture labels to unknown textures, according to training samples and classification rules. In this paper a novel method, which is an intelligent system for texture classification is introduced. It used a combination of genetic algorithm, discrete wavelet transform and neural network for optimum feature extraction from texture images. An algorithm called the intelligent system, which processes the pattern recognition approximation, is developed. We tested the proposed method with several texture images. The overall success rate is about 95%. 相似文献
At the last two decades, according to UAVs concepts and technological advances, there have been lots of unimagined improvements. Nowadays there are serious works and researches about the usage of UAVs in military operations at electronic warfare (EW) missions. But most of the work on UAV platforms is based upon the advantages of a single, big, expensive, and non-expendable platform. In this study, to get rid off the disadvantages of a stand alone platform a new concept is developed consisting of multiple UAVs with smaller dimensions, at a cheaper price and a wider coverage. According to clarify the study, firstly the EW and RADAR systems and then the swarm UAV concepts are explained. In this manner the current and previous works are pointed out and then the use of the swarm UAVs for EA in military operations is stated. Objectively, the swarm UAV concept’s advantages and some outstanding challenges to the intra-theater space have been put forward regarding the information mentioned above. As a result it is considered that the swarm UAV systems will be tasked important EW missions in the future operation theatres, as soon as the technical handicaps are solved. 相似文献
