Neural networks for process control in steel manufacturing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neural Networks are particularly suitable for the approximation of non-linear time-variant functions. Due to their learning capabilities, they have proven useful in control applications for complex industrial processes. In collaboration with the Corporate Research and Development Department, the Siemens Industrial and Building Systems Group developed Neural Network applications for the steel industry, resulting in a more economic use of resources and an improvement of productivity. At this time Siemens has installed more than 100 neural nets world wide at various plants.

Using Artificial Neural Networks to Predict Rolling Force and Real Exit Thickness of Steel Strips
There is a complicated relation between cold flat rolling parameters such as effective input parameters of cold rolling, output cold rolling force and exit thickness of strips. In many mathematical models, the effect of some cold rolling parameters has been ignored and the outputs have not a desirable accuracy. In the other hand, there is a special relation among input thickness of strips, the ...

متن کاملComparison Study on Neural Networks in Damage Detection of Steel Truss Bridge
This paper presents the application of three main Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in damage detection of steel bridges. This method has the ability to indicate damage in structural elements due to a localized change of stiffness called damage zone. The changes in structural response is used to identify the states of structural damage. To circumvent the difficulty arising from the non-linear n...
