This article presents numerical studies on semi-active seismic response control of structures equipped with Magneto-Rheological (MR) dampers. A multi-layer artificial neural network (ANN) was employed to mitigate the influence of time delay, This ANN was trained using data from the El-Centro earthquake. The inputs of ANN are the seismic responses of the structure in the current step, and the ou...

Load forecasting has become one of the major areas of research in electrical engineering and is an important problem in operation and planning of electric power generation. Load forecasting is the technique for prediction of electrical load. STLF (Short term load forecast) is essential for Power system planning. In a deregulated market it is much need for a generating company to know about the ...

This paper proposes an intelligent approach for dynamic identification of the vehicles. The proposed approach is based on the data-driven identification and uses a high-performance local model network (LMN) for estimation of the vehicle’s longitudinal velocity, lateral acceleration and yaw rate. The proposed LMN requires no pre-defined standard vehicle model and uses measurement data to identif...

A novel neural-network based technique is described for the remote condition-monitoring of an in-service gas-turbine flowmeter. The method uses a C language implementation of a modified multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural networks, which enables detection of the accumulation of contaminating material on the rotor blades that could lead to changes in meter-factor and loss of calibration.

Introduction: Artificial neural networks are a type of systems that use very complex technologies and non-algorithmic solutions for problem solving. These characteristics make them suitable for various medical applications. This study set out to investigate the application of artificial neural networks for differential diagnosis of thalassemia minor and iron-deficiency anemia. Methods: It is...

Since artificial neural networks (ANNs) can approximate any function, they have been applied in many fields including hydrology. In hydrology, there are important issues such as flood estimation and predicting rainfall-runoff in a certain area. In this presentation, we briefly introduce a popular feed-forward neural network model, so called “multi-layer perceptron (MLP)”, and review its applica...

In this study, the application of a combined segmentation method using the CannyDeriche filter and a Multi Layer Perceptron neural network is considered. The segmentation of five LANDSAT spectral bands is conducted. Obtained segmented images are combined using a multi experts approach in order to improve the segmentation quality and to preserve the land cover regions.

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...
