Analysis and prediction of compressive and split-tensile strength of secondary steel fiber reinforced concrete based on RBF fuzzy neural network model.

Accurate analysis of the strength of steel-fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) is important for ensuring construction quality and safety. Cube compression and splitting tensile tests of steel fiber with different varieties, lengths, and dosages were performed, and the effects of different varieties, lengths, and dosages on the compressive and splitting properties of secondary concrete were obtained. It was determined that the compression and splitting strengths of concrete could be effectively improved by the addition of end-hooked and milled steel fibers. The compressive and splitting strengths of concrete can be enhanced by increasing the fiber length and content. However, concrete also exhibits obvious uncertainty owing to the comprehensive influence of steel fiber variety, fiber length, and fiber content. In order to solve this engineering uncertainty, the traditional RBF neural network is improved by using central value and weight learning strategy especially. On this basis, the RBF fuzzy neural network prediction model of the strength of secondary steel fiber-reinforced concrete was innovatively established with the type, length and content of steel fiber as input information and the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength as output information. In order to further verify the engineering reliability of the prediction model, the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete with rock anchor beams are predicted by the prediction model. The results show that the convergence rate of the prediction model is increased by 15%, and the error between the predicted value and the measured value is less than 10%, which is more efficient and accurate than the traditional one. Additionally, the improved model algorithm is efficient and reasonable, providing technical support for the safe construction of large-volume steel fiber concrete projects, such as rock anchor beams. The fuzzy random method can also be applied to similar engineering fields.

Diagnosis and classification of disturbances in the power distribution network by phasor measurement unit based on fuzzy intelligent system

AbstractThe dynamic nature of distribution networks raises fresh issues with how such electrical systems function. These networks have some characteristics that indicate the need for better monitoring and control capabilities, including dispersed generation employing renewable resources, changing load profiles, and rising reliability requirements. Phasor measurement units (PMUs) offer simultaneous voltage and current phasor measurements at various places and offer a variety of options for gauging the condition and health of the power distribution network. In this regard, a cost‐optimized PMU with some unique features for distribution systems is presented in this work. These features include a fuzzy inference system to determine the root cause of potential electrical disturbances and methods to estimate electrical parameters through measured field data, which are necessities. This study takes into account the modelling of PMUs, utilizing a process for fault detection and classification with a fuzzy inference network. The 9‐bus distribution network's dependability model is built once the components and their functions are first outlined. The proposed model is then used to calculate the availability of the presented model, which has been examined to provide an analogous reliability model for PMUs. Depending on the specific manufacturer, the PMU's design and specs will change. To extract phase and size measurement features for the proposed model adaptive neural‐fuzzy inference system network's training, two PMU structures and associated reliability models are described here. When merging input data for fuzzy neural network prediction using MATLAB software, fuzzy sets are taken into account for error classification analysis.

Abstract Gray prediction model and BP neural network are increasingly used in many fields as important prediction and analysis tools. The article first elaborates on the related algorithm of the gray prediction method. It constructs the gray prediction model, then constructs the BP neural network, and builds the gray BP neural network translation quality assessment model through the modeling of the simulation of the artificial neural network, and finally takes eight postgraduate students of translation majors of Beijing Foreign Studies University as the subjects, and the eight students translate two articles with similar word counts and difficulties, and score the translation quality of the subjects, and reasonably evaluate and scientifically predict these translations in order to validate the grey translation quality of subjects. The quality of translation is scored, and these translations are reasonably evaluated and scientifically predicted to verify the role and effect of the gray BP neural network in the quality of English-Chinese translation. The study concludes that the results based on the gray prediction model are that the prediction results are in the error range of 0%–7% compared with the original data, and the overall error is small. The prediction results of the compensatory fuzzy neural network prediction model for all 8 subjects before and after translation were more accurate than those predicted by the traditional fuzzy neural network method, with a good fit to the actual monitoring data and a small relative error. Only one subject out of the 8 spent more time on Chapter B than on Chapter A. Chapter B was more time-consuming than Chapter A. The time spent on Chapter A was more than the time spent on Chapter A. Chapter B was more time-consuming than Chapter A. Chapter B was more time-consuming than Chapter A. One subject spent equal time on both articles.

Identification Model of Soil Physical State Using the Takagi–Sugeno Fuzzy Neural Network

Adjusting tillage parameters according to soil conditions can reduce energy consumption. In this study, the working parameters and soil physical parameters of plowing were determined using a designed electric suspension platform and soil instrument. The soil conditions were classified into three physical states, namely ‘hard’, ‘zero’, and ‘soft’ using a fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm, taking the soil moisture content and cone penetration resistance as the grading indexes. The Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy neural network classifier was constructed using traction resistance, operating velocity, and plowing depth as inputs to indirectly identify the soil’s physical state. The results show that when 280 groups of test data were used to verify the model, 264 groups were correctly identified, indicating a soil physical state identification accuracy of 94.29%. The T–S fuzzy neural network prediction model can achieve the real-time and accurate physical state identification of paddy soil during plowing.

SummaryIn order to improve the security and reliability of computer network, especially the three aspects of fault network diagnosis overall model, computer network link fault detection and computer network congestion prediction, we propose a fuzzy neural network identification and prediction model. In addition, we use rough artificial neural network (RANN) network link mixture to manage all subnets in the network for unified remote allocation network, so as to improve the quality and robustness of the network.

In addition, the average error rate of RANN is reduced by 45.94% compared with Lagrangian neural storage algorithm. The iteration number of fuzzy neural network (FNN) neural network prediction model based on incremental rule extraction algorithm is reduced by 28.93%, and the packet loss rate of network peak shaving module controlled by FNN prediction model is reduced to 0.272%, which is 87.69% lower than that of random early detection algorithm. This is expected to provide better performance for the orderly control of network failure, data flow and network data transmission with higher load in the future, and further improve the security and reliability of computer networks.

Application of improved and optimized fuzzy neural network in classification evaluation of top coal cavability

Longwall top coal caving technology is one of the main methods of thick coal seam mining in China, and the classification evaluation of top coal cavability in longwall top coal caving working face is of great significance for improving coal recovery. However, the empirical or numerical simulation method currently used to evaluate the top coal cavability has high cost and low-efficiency problems. Therefore, in order to improve the evaluation efficiency and reduce evaluation the cost of top coal cavability, according to the characteristics of classification evaluation of top coal cavability, this paper improved and optimized the fuzzy neural network developed by Nauck and Kruse and establishes the fuzzy neural network prediction model for classification evaluation of top coal cavability. At the same time, in order to ensure that the optimized and improved fuzzy neural network has the ability of global approximation that a neural network should have, its global approximation is verified. Then use the data in the database of published papers from CNKI as sample data to train, verify and test the established fuzzy neural network model. After that, the tested model is applied to the classification evaluation of the top coal cavability in 61,107 longwall top coal caving working face in Liuwan Coal Mine. The final evaluation result is that the top coal cavability grade of the 61,107 longwall top coal caving working face in Liuwan Coal Mine is grade II, consistent with the engineering practice.

Traffic Status Evolution Trend Prediction Based on Congestion Propagation Effects under Rainy Weather

In rainy weather, the accurate prediction of traffic status not only helps road traffic managers to formulate traffic management methods but also helps travelers design travel routes and even adjust travel time. In this paper, based on six-dimensional data (e.g., past and present spatiotemporal traffic status, road network structure, pavement type, water accumulation, and rainfall level), a fuzzy neural network (FNN) prediction system is proposed to predict traffic status. The traffic status evolution trend is related not only to the existing traffic but also to the new traffic demand. Therefore, the FNN prediction system designed includes offline and online parts using the data of the past and the day separately and avoids the forecast of new traffic demand. The fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm is applied to cluster traffic status data under similar rainy weather in the past to form an offline initial dataset, which is used to train FNN weight parameters. The online part uses real-time detection data and the parameters trained by the offline part to further predict the traffic status and returns the prediction errors to the offline part to correct the weight parameters to further improve prediction accuracy. Finally, the FNN prediction system is verified using real Beijing expressway network data. The verification results show that the prediction system can guarantee prediction accuracy and can be used to effectively identify traffic status.

Endpoint forecast of different diesel-biodiesel soot filtration process in diesel particulate filters considering ash deposition

In order to effectively forecast endpoint of soot loading process in the diesel particulate filter (DPF), an efficient prediction method is presented in this work. Firstly, ash deposition mass is predicted by the fuzzy adaptive variable weight functional link neural network model. Then, pressure drop of the DPF is simulated by a modified soot filtration mathematical model considering ash deposition. Finally, the soot loading endpoints with different fuels and initial ash mass are forecasted based on the cusp catastrophe model. The results show that the fuzzy adaptive variable weight functional link neural network prediction model has higher prediction accuracy with 2.24% average error than other single prediction methods. In addition, pressure drop variation rate of the DPF increases over time and it obviously rises with the increase of the pre-loaded ash mass, DPF with larger initial ash mass has a shorter soot loading time to reach the same pressure drop, and soot mass decreases with the rise of biodiesel proportion in the fuels at the same moment. Moreover, predicted pressure drop and discriminant value Δ indicate that a DPF with elevated ash loads has shorter soot loading time and lower soot mass, biodiesel or its blends can prolong the soot filtration time and the optimal range of endpoint time during B0 soot loading process is between 4.25 h and 4.5 h for a clean DPF. This work offers us great reference value for forecasting soot loading endpoint and managing regeneration of the periodic regenerated particulate filters.

Electric load forecast of long-period rail transit based on fuzzy mathematics

The urban rail transit power supply system is an important part of the urban power distribution network and the power source of the rail transit system. It is responsible for providing safe and reliable electrical energy to urban rail trains and power lighting equipment. This paper processes the obtained long-period rail transit power load learning sample data matrix, according to the principle of normalization processing, effectively eliminates irregular data in the sample set and fills in possible missing data, thereby eliminating bad data or fake data for model learning. Moreover, this avoids the generation of huge errors that cause exponential growth in the model due to the increase in the learning sample size and the irregularity of the data. According to the characteristics of power load, this paper comprehensively considers the influence of temperature and date type on the maximum daily load, applies the fuzzy neural network model to the long-period load forecasting of long-period rail transit, and introduces the whole process of establishing the forecasting model in detail. Through detailed analysis of the actual data provided by the EUNITE network, the relevant factors affecting the daily maximum load were determined, and then the appropriate fuzzy input was selected to establish the corresponding fuzzy neural network prediction model, and a relatively ideal prediction result was obtained. The experimental results fully proved the great potential of fuzzy neural network in long-term power load forecasting.

Using a Digital Camera Combined With Fitting Algorithm and T-S Fuzzy Neural Network to Determine the Turbidity in Water

We developed a method using a digital camera combined with fitting algorithm and T-S fuzzy neural network (T-S fnn) to measure the water turbidity accurately and efficiently. A turbidity-measuring device and image-processing software based on the common camera were designed to obtain the image of a standard solution after a constant light source passed through the sample and the RGB values, Lab values corresponding to the image were obtained. These RGB values were used as the input of the fuzzy neural network prediction model, the corresponding standard turbidity values were used as the output, and a camera-based fuzzy neural network turbidity measurement method was established. Simultaneously, the standard curve of turbidity measurement is established by fitting the turbidity using color component and color difference. The proposed method was applied to the measurement of standard turbidity solution and the results were compared with those of turbidmeter. The accuracy of the fuzzy neural network and the fitting algorithm is higher than that of the turbidimeter, and the accuracy of the fuzzy neural network method is the highest, the measurement error was only ±0.89%, and the accuracy much higher than that of an ordinary turbidimeter. By comparing the independent sample t-tests of the actual water samples, the fuzzy neural network method had the same trend as the turbidimeter and there was no significant difference of the results. The water turbidity measurement with the camera-T-S fuzzy neural network assembly can be applied to the actual water samples. This method can replace the traditional photoelectric detection method to measure turbidity, and it can reduce measurement error and cost. It may be used in environmental detection, biomedicine, and other fields.

In this era of knowledge economy, appropriate management of the rapidly evolving knowledge is a real and urgent issue for factories and enterprises, in order to maintain the competitive edges. However, facing the onerous analysis required for understanding the long-term knowledge evolution, especially the evolving of empirical knowledge in the engineering field, effective and comprehensive modeling methods for knowledge evolution are absent. In this paper, a novel knowledge evolution modeling method is proposed for portraying the long-term evolution of empirical engineering knowledge (EEK) and assisting engineers in comprehending the evolving history. Three phases, EEK elicitation and formalization, EEK networks foundation, and family-tree evolution model construction, are included in the modeling method. This method is developed using natural language processing, semantic similarity calculation, fuzzy neural network prediction, clustering algorithm, and latent topic extraction techniques. To evaluate the performance of the proposed modeling method, an evolution model of empirical knowledge in computer-aided design (CAD) is constructed and then verified. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the former approaches in feasibility and effectiveness, and hence opens up a better way of further understanding the long-term evolution course of EEK.

A Novel Fuzzy-Neural Slack-Diversifying Rule Based on Soft Computing Applications for Job Dispatching in a Wafer Fabrication Factory

This study proposes a slack-diversifying fuzzy-neural rule to improve job dispatching in a wafer fabrication factory. Several soft computing techniques, including fuzzy classification and artificial neural network prediction, have been applied in the proposed methodology. A highly effective fuzzy-neural approach is applied to estimate the remaining cycle time of a job. This research presents empirical evidence of the relationship between the estimation accuracy and the scheduling performance. Because dynamic maximization of the standard deviation of schedule slack has been shown to improve performance, this work applies such maximization to a slack-diversifying fuzzy-neural rule derived from a two-factor tailored nonlinear fluctuation smoothing rule for mean cycle time (2f-TNFSMCT). The effectiveness of the proposed rule was checked with a simulated case, which provided evidence of the rule’s effectiveness. The findings in this research point to several directions that can be exploited in the future.
