Abstract:

This study presents a new procedure based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for identification of double cracks in Functionally Graded Beams (FGBs). A cantilever beam is modeled using Finite Element Method (FEM) for analyzing a double-cracked FGB and evaluation of its first four natural frequencies for different cracks depths and locations. The obtained FEM results are verified against available references. Furthermore, four Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks are employed for identification of locations and depths of both cracks of FGB. Back-Error Propagation (BEP) method is used to train the ANNs. The accuracy of predicted results shows that the proposed procedure is suitable for double cracks identification detection in FGBs.

Distillation Column Identification Using Artificial Neural Network

  Abstract: In this paper, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used for modeling the nonlinear structure of a debutanizer column in a refinery gas process plant. The actual input-output data of the system were measured in order to be used for system identification based on root mean square error (RMSE) minimization approach. It was shown that the designed recurrent neural network is able to pr...

Free Vibration Analysis of Functionally Graded Beams with Cracks

This study introduces the free vibration analysis of multilayered symmetric sandwich Timoshenko beams, made of functionally graded materials with two edge cracked, using the finite element method and linear elastic fracture mechanic theory. The FG beam consists of 50 layers, located symmetrically to the neutral plane, whose material properties distribution change along the beam thickness, accor...

Crack Detection In Functionally Graded Beams Using Conjugate Gradient Method

In this paper the conjugate gradient (CG) method is employed for identifying the parameters of crack in a functionally graded beam from natural frequency measurement. The crack is modeled as a massless rotational spring with sectional flexibility. By using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory on two separate beams respectively and applying the compatibility requirements of the crack, the characteris...

Analytic Approach to Free Vibration and Buckling Analysis of Functionally Graded Beams with Edge Cracks using four Engineering Beam Theories

A complete investigation on the free vibration and stability analysis of beams made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) containing open edge cracks utilizing four beam theories, Euler-Bernoulli, Rayleigh, shear and Timoshenko, is performed in this research. It is assumed that the material properties vary along the beam thickness exponentially and the cracked beam is modeled as two segments ...
