Neuro-Fuzzy Modeling has been applied in a wide variety of fields such as Decision Making, Engineering and Management Sciences etc. In particular, applications of this Modeling technique in Decision Making by involving complex Systems of Linear Algebraic Equations have remarkable significance. In this Paper, we present Polak-Ribiere Conjugate Gradient based Neural Network with Fuzzy rules to so...

The main aim of this paper is to present MOGUL, a Methodology to Obtain Genetic fuzzy rule-based systems Under the iterative rule Learning approach. MOGUL will consist of some design guidelines that allow us to obtain diierent Genetic Fuzzy Rule-Based Systems, i. e., evolutionary algorithm-based processes to automatically design Fuzzy Rule-Based Systems by learning and/or tuning the Fuzzy Rule ...

Rock typing is an essential part of building geological model for an asset. Millions of dollars are invested in logs, core measurements, SCAL studies and geological interpretation that result in definition of different rock types. In most caes rock types that are identified in a reservoir do not have crisp boundaries and display overlapping characteristics. During the upscaling process, multipl...

Numerical modelling techniques are not new for mining industry and civil engineering projects anymore. These techniques have been widely used for rock engineering problems such as stability analysis and support design of roadways and tunnels, caving and subsidence prediction, and stability analysis of rock slopes. Despite the significant advancement in the computational mechanics and availabili...

1.INTRODUCTION Some forty years ago, most opening supports and reinforcements were designed using empirical rules defining ground loads acting on the supporting structures. This approach is still popular and interest in it has been renewed by the use of rock mass classification systems (Barton et al. 1974, Bieniawski, 1974,1976,1989). Correlations between rock mass conditions and the type of su...

Successful application of a TBM in a project requires investigating both the ground conditions and the machine and backup system design features. Prediction of the machine performance is very important as it has a big effect on the duration of the project and the costs. In this respect, both penetration rate and advance rate must be estimated. Utilization factor, which depends on the type of op...

Subject analysis of the potential of spontaneous combustion in coal layers with analytical and numerical methods has been always considered as a difficult task because of the complexity of the coal behavior and the number of factors influencing it. Empirical methods, due to accounting for certain and specific factors, have not accuracy and efficiency for all positions. The Rock Engineering Syst...
