Chapter eight - Artificial neural networks for engineering applications: a review

Abstract

The utilization of artificial neural networks (ANNs) has gained widespread popularity in various domains because it is based on the combination of intelligent control and the working principle of the neurons in a brain. Therefore it has achieved encouraging progress in the networks field, medical applications, image processing, and data science. In this chapter, the authors highlight the benefits of ANNs in engineering applications, such as chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, construction engineering, mechanical engineering, and geotechnical engineering. Moreover, the chapter aims to guide researchers and students (especially engineers) interested in developing their skills using intelligent techniques.
