The main challenge in Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) by activated sludge process is the reduction of the energy consumption that varies according to the pollutant load of influent. However, this energy is fundamentally used for aerators in a biological process. The modeling of energy consumption according to the decision parameters deemed necessary for good control of the active sludge ...

In this paper, an attempt has been made to design an computational intelligence technique based expert system using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for predicting surface roughness in end milling of Inconel 718. Two different types of membership functions are adopted for analysis in ANFIS training and compared their differences regarding the accuracy rate of the surface roughness ...

Nonlinear system identification is becoming an important tool which can be used to improve control performance. This paper describes the application of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) model for controlling a car. The vehicle must follow a predefined path by supervised learning. Back-propagation gradient descent method was performed to train the ANFIS system. The performance of the...

In this paper, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) techniques are developed and applied to identify damage in a model steel girder bridge using dynamic parameters. The required data in the form of natural frequencies are obtained from experimental modal analysis. A comparative study is made using the ANNs and ANFIS techniques and results showed th...

The application of neuro-fuzzy inference system to predict the compressive strengths of concrete is presented in this study. To investigate the influence of various parameters which affect the compressive strength, 2000 data samples were used for the analysis. Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was introduced for training and testing the data obtained from technical literatures. To r...

Supplier selection is a key task for firms, enabling them to achieve the objectives of a supply chain. Selecting a supplier is based on multiple conflicting factors, such as quality and cost, which are represented by a multi-criteria description of the problem. In this article, a new approach based on Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is presented to overcome the supplier selection ...

Evaporation, as a major component of the hydrologic cycle, plays a key role in water resources development and management in arid and semi-arid climatic regions. Although there are empirical formulas available, their performances are not all satisfactory due to the complicated nature of the evaporation process and the data availability. This paper explores evaporation estimation methods based o...

This paper proposes two different approaches for the prediction of type2 diabetes. Many different techniques have been used for the prediction of chronic diseases by different researchers. Among them Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference system (ANFIS) is very popular and already used for the prediction of type 2 diabetes. In this paper, the proposed system is optimization of ANFIS using Genetic Algor...

Many controllers have applied the Adaptive Neural-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) concept for optimizing the controller performance. However, there are less traffic signal controllers developed using the ANFIS concept. ANFIS traffic signal controller with its fuzzy rule base and its ability to learn from a set of sample data could improve the performance of Existing traffic signal controlling sy...

In this work, the process of dissimilar resistance spot welding (RSW) for AISI 304 and 1060 steel sheets is experimentally investigated. The effects main parameters such as current, electrode force, cycle, cooling cycle on tensile-shear strength (TSS) RSW joints are studied. To aim, using a central composite experimental design based response surface methodology (RSM), tests were performed. Fur...
