This paper aims to assess the application of Support Vector Machine (SVM) regression in order to analysis flexible pavements. To this end, 10000 Four-layer flexible pavement sections consisted of asphalt concrete layer, granular base layer, granular subbase layer, and subgrade soil were analyzed under the effect of standard axle loading using multi-layered elastic theory and pavement critical r...

optical coherence tomography (oct) uses the spatial and temporal coherence properties of optical waves backscattered from a tissue sample to form an image. an inherent characteristic of coherent imaging is the presence of speckle noise. in this study we use a new ensemble framework which is a combination of several multi-layer perceptron (mlp) neural networks to denoise oct images. the noise is...

in this paper, thermo-elastic analysis of a rotating thick truncated conical shell subjected to the temperature gradient, internal pressure and external pressure is presented. given the existence of shear stress in the conical shell due to thickness change along the axial direction, the governing equations are obtained based on first-order shear deformation theory (fsdt). these equations are so...

in present study, thermo-elastic buckling analysis of multi-layer orthotropic annular/circular graphene sheets is investigated based on eringen’s theory. the moderately thick and also thick nano-plates are considered. using the non-local first and third order shear deformation theories, the governing equations are derived. the van der waals interaction between the layers is simulated for multi-...
