This study deals with predicting nonlinear time history deflection of scallop domes subject to earthquake loading employing neural network technique. Scallop domes have alternate ridged and grooves that radiate from the centre. There are two main types of scallop domes, lattice and continuous, which the latticed type of scallop domes is considered in the present paper. Due to the large number o...

-A neural network approach for solving fuzzy linear programming problems is proposed in which fuzzy concepts are not used. This approach is totally based on the level-sum method introduced Pandian [11]. The nearest optimal solution of the fuzzy linear programming original problem can be obtained by the proposed approach. The large scale fuzzy linear programming problems can be solved efficientl...

To find an optimal path for robots in an environment that is only partially known and continuously changing is a difficult problem. This paper presents a new method for generating a collision-free near-optimal path for an autonomous mobile robot in a dynamic environment containing moving and static obstacles using neural network and fuzzy logic with genetic algorithm. The mobile robot selects a...

Neural networks and fuzzy systems have been the subject of much interest in recent years for the control of nonlinear processes. Much research has been directed at indirect control schemes where, basically, the neural network or fuzzy system has been used to identify the process, and a controller has been synthesised from this model. An alternative approach is that of direct control where the n...

Based on previous work on encoding deterministic nite-state automata (DFAs) in discrete-time, second-order recurrent neural networks with sigmoidal discriminant functions, we propose an algorithm that constructs an augmented recurrent neural network that encodes fuzzy nite-state automata (FFAs). Given an arbitrary FFA, we apply an algorithm which transforms the FFA into an equivalent determinis...

This paper presents a new method of recognising hand-written postcodes using the Fuzzy ARTMAP neural network, a relatively new architecture of the neural network family. It has the capability to process in parallel as well as the ability to learn and make decisions. The image of the specially formatted envelopes are captured by a frame grabber and processed by an image processing software calle...

Reasoning with propositional knowledge based on fuzzy neural logic" (1996). In this article, a new kind of reasoning for propositional knowledge, which is based on the fuzzy neural logic initialed by Teh, is introduced. A fundamental theorem is presented showing that any fuzzy neural logic network can be represented by operations: bounded sum, complement, and scalar product. Propositional calcu...

In this paper we present an algorithm for automatic generation of fuzzy neural networks (FNN). Fuzzy neural networks are concept that integrates some features of the fuzzy logic and the artificial neural networks theory. Based on analysis of several different fuzzy neural networks models, uniform representation method is presented, and two basic types are identified: FNN based on perception fra...

This paper presents a new distance relay technique for transmission line protection by using well known control technique; Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The ANFIS can be viewed either as a fuzzy system, a neural network or fuzzy neural network FNN. The structure is seen as a neural network for training and a fuzzy viewpoint is utilized to gain insight into the system and to sim...
