Analytical methods have been widely applied in prediction of groundwa- ter inflow to tunnels due to their simplicity and practical base theory. Investigations show that the real amount of water infiltrating into jointed tunnels is much less than calculated amount using analytical methods and obtained results are very dependent on tunnel's geometry and environmental situations. In this study, using multiple regression analysis, a new empirical model for estimation of groundwater seepage into circular tunnels was introduced. Our data was acquired from field surveys and laboratory analysis of core samples. New regression variables were defined after perusing single and two variables relationship between groundwater seepage and other variables. Finally, an appropriate model for estima- tion of leakage was obtained using the stepwise algorithm. Statistics like R, R2, R2e and the histogram of residual values in the model represent a good reputation and fitness for this model to estimate the groundwater seepage into tunnels. The new experimental model was used for the test data and results were satisfactory. Therefore, multiple regression analysis is an effective and efficient way to estimate the groundwater seeoage into tunnels.展开更多

The method suggested was used to determine welding process parameters by which the desired tensile strength was obtained in the friction welding of ductile iron. The highest tensile strength (TS) of 256.93 MPa was obtained using SVR plus GA method for the following friction welding parameters: heating force 40 kN, heating time 300 s and upsetting force 10.12 kN. The samples were welded by friction and subjected to the tensile strength test. The optimized values obtained by means of these hybrid techniques were compared with the experimental results. The application of hybrid intelligent methods allowed to increase the tensile strength joints from 211 to 258 MPa for the friction welder ZT-14 type.展开更多
