Slope stability analysis is an enduring research topic in the engineering and academic sectors. Accurate prediction of the factor of safety (FOS) of slopes, their stability, and their performance is not an easy task. In this work, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was utilized to build an estimation model for the prediction of FOS. Three ANFIS models were implemented including g...

shear wave velocity (vs) data are key information for petrophysical, geophysical and geomechanical studies. although compressional wave velocity (vp) measurements exist in almost all wells, shear wave velocity is not recorded for most of elderly wells due to lack of technologic tools. furthermore, measurement of shear wave velocity is to some extent costly. this study proposes a novel methodolo...

This article presents a study of academic performance evaluation using soft computing techniques inspired by the successful application of K-means, fuzzy C-means (FCM), subtractive clustering (SC), hybrid subtractive clustering-fuzzy C-means (SC-FCM) and hybrid subtractive clustering-adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (SC-ANFIS) methods for solving academic performance evaluation problems. M...

In this study, an efficient method is introduced to predict the stability of soil-structure interaction (SSI) system subject to earthquake loads. In the procedure of the nonlinear dynamic analysis, a number of structures collapse and then lose their stability. The prediction of failure probability is considered as stability criterion. In order to achieve this purpose, a modified adaptive neuro ...

this paper presents a comparative study between three versions of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) algorithms and a pseudo-forward equation (pfe) to characterize the north sea reservoir (f3 block) based on seismic data. according to the statistical studies, four attributes (energy, envelope, spectral decomposition and similarity) are known to be useful as fundamental attributes in ...

some applications are critical and must designed fault tolerant system. usually voting algorithm is one of the principle elements of a fault tolerant system. two kinds of voting algorithm are used in most applications, they are majority voting algorithm and weighted average algorithm these algorithms have some problems. majority confronts with the problem of threshold limits and voter of weight...

This paper investigates the effectiveness of four different soft computing methods, namely radial basis neural network (RBNN), adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) with subtractive clustering (ANFIS-SC), ANFIS with fuzzy c-means clustering (ANFIS-FCM) and M5 model tree (M5Tree), for predicting the ultimate strength and strain of concrete cylinders confined with fiber-reinforced polymer...

Maximum surface settlement (MSS) is an important parameter for the design and operation of earth pressure balance (EPB) shields that should determine before operate tunneling. Artificial intelligence (AI) methods are accepted as a technology that offers an alternative way to tackle highly complex problems that can’t be modeled in mathematics. They can learn from examples and they are able...
