The algorithm integrates the concepts of artificial neural network, the first order second moment reliability method and the deterministic stability analysis method of earth slope. The performance function and its derivatives in slope stability analysis under seismic loadings were approximated by a trained multi-layer feed-forward neural network with differentiable transfer functions. The statistical moments calculated from the performance function values and the corresponding gradients using neural network were then used in the first order second moment method for the calculation of the reliability index in slope safety analysis. Two earth slope examples were presented for illustrating the applicability of the proposed approach. The new method is effective in slope reliability analysis. And it has potential application to other reliability problems of complicated engineering structure with a considerably large number of random variables.展开更多

Several criteria of exponential stability are given by introducing multiple Lyapunov functions. In comparison with the existing publications on simplice memristive neural networks or switching neural net- works, we consider a system with a series of switchings, these switchings are assumed to be synchronous with memristive switching mechanism. Moreover, the proposed stability conditions are straightforward and convenient and can reflect the impact of time delay on the stability. Two examples are also presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.展开更多
