ESTIMATION OF INVERSE DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF MR DAMPERS USING ARTIFICIAL AND FUZZY-BASED NEURAL NETWORKS

In this paper the performance of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Adaptive Neuro- Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) in simulating the inverse dynamic behavior of Magneto- Rheological (MR) dampers is investigated. MR dampers are one of the most applicable methods in semi active control of seismic response of structures. Various mathematical models are introduced to simulate the dynamic behavi...

ESTIMATING THE VULNERABILITY OF THE CONCRETE MOMENT RESISTING FRAME STRUCTURES USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS

Heavy economic losses and human casualties caused by destructive earthquakes around the world clearly show the need for a systematic approach for large scale damage detection of various types of existing structures. That could provide the proper means for the decision makers for any rehabilitation plans. The aim of this study is to present an innovative method for investigating the seismic vuln...

Dynamic Artificial Neural Networks with Affective Systems

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are processors that are trained to perform particular tasks. We couple a computational ANN with a simulated affective system in order to explore the interaction between the two. In particular, we design a simple affective system that adjusts the threshold values in the neurons of our ANN. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that this simple affective system...

Artificial neural networks: applications in pain physiology

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are intelligent systems that have successfully been used for prediction in different medical fields. In this study, the capability of ANN in predicting body behavior in pain-producing situations is evaluated. A three-layer back-propagation ANN is designed using MATLAB software. The inputs include the magnitude of stimulation in pain fibers, touch fibers and cen...
