yarn tenacity is one of the most important properties in yarn production. this paper addresses modeling of yarn tenacity as well as optimally determining the amounts of the effective inputs to produce yarn with desired tenacity. the artificial neural network is used as a suitable structure for tenacity modeling of cotton yarn with 30 ne. as the first step for modeling, the empirical data is col...

the safety of buried pipes under repeated load has been a challenging task in geotechnical engineering. in this paper artificial neural network and regression model for predicting the vertical deformation of high-density polyethylene (hdpe), small diameter flexible pipes buried in reinforced trenches, which were subjected to repeated loadings to simulate the heavy vehicle loads, are proposed. t...

with the increase of the volume of information and the progress in technology, the deficiency of traditional algorithms for fast information retrieval becomes more clear. when large volumes of data are to be handled, the use of neural network as an artificial intelligent technique is a suitable method to increase the information retrieval speed. neural networks present a suitable representation...

Injection molding is one of the most important and common plastic formation methods. Combination of modeling tools and optimization algorithms can be used in order to determine optimum process conditions for the injection molding of a special part. Because of the complication of the injection molding process and multiplicity of parameters and their interactive effects on one another, analytical...

This study explores ambient air quality forecasts using the conventional time-series approach and a neural network. Sulfur dioxide and ozone monitoring data collected from two background stations and an industrial station are used. Various learning methods and varied numbers of hidden layer processing units of the neural network model are tested. Results obtained from the time-series and neural...

in this paper, the artificial neural network (ann) approach is applied for forecasting groundwater level fluctuation in aghili plain,southwest iran. an optimal design is completed for the two hidden layers with four different algorithms: gradient descent withmomentum (gdm), levenberg marquardt (lm), resilient back propagation (rp), and scaled conjugate gradient (scg). rain,evaporation, relative...
