Modeling of grain size in isothermal compression of Ti-6Al-4V alloy using fuzzy neural network

Isothermal compression of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was conducted in the deformation temperature range of 1093-1303 K, the strain rates of 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, and 10.0 s-1, and the height reductions of 20%-60% with an interval of 10%. After compression, the effect of the processing parameters including deformation temperature, strain rate, and height reduction on the flow stress and the microstructure was investigated. The grain size of primary a phase was measured using an OLYMPUS PMG3 microscope with the quantitative metallography SISC IAS V8.0 image analysis software. A model of grain size in isothermal compression of Ti-6A1-4V alloy was developed using fuzzy neural net- work （FNN） with back-propagation （BP） learning algorithm. The maximum difference and the average difference between the predicted and the experimental grain sizes of primary a phase are 13.31% and 7.62% for the sampled data, and 16.48% and 6.97% for the non-sampled data, respectively. It can be concluded that the present model with high prediction precision can be used to predict the grain size in isothermal compression of Ti-6Al-4V alloy.

A Short-Term Climate Prediction Model Based on a Modular Fuzzy Neural Network

In terms of the modular fuzzy neural network (MFNN) combining fuzzy c-mean (FCM) cluster and single-layer neural network, a short-term climate prediction model is developed. It is found from modeling results that the MFNN model for short-term climate prediction has advantages of simple structure, no hidden layer and stable network parameters because of the assembling of sound functions of the self-adaptive learning, association and fuzzy information processing of fuzzy mathematics and neural network methods. The case computational results of Guangxi flood season (JJA) rainfall show that the mean absolute error (MAE) and mean relative error (MRE) of the prediction during 1998-2002 are 68.8 mm and 9.78%, and in comparison with the regression method, under the conditions of the same predictors and period they are 97.8 mm and 12.28% respectively. Furthermore, it is also found from the stability analysis of the modular model that the change of the prediction results of independent samples with training times in the stably convergent interval of the model is less than 1.3 mm. The obvious oscillation phenomenon of prediction results with training times, such as in the common back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model, does not occur, indicating a better practical application potential of the MFNN model.

HPSO-based fuzzy neural network control for AUV

A fuzzy neural network controller for underwater vehicles has many parameters difficult to tune manually. To reduce the numerous work and subjective uncertainties in manual adjustments, a hybrid particle swarm optimization （HPSO） algorithm based on immune theory and nonlinear decreasing inertia weight （NDIW） strategy is proposed. Owing to the restraint factor and NDIW strategy, an HPSO algorithm can effectively prevent premature convergence and keep balance between global and local searching abilities. Meanwhile, the algorithm maintains the ability of handling multimodal and multidimensional problems. The HPSO algorithm has the fastest convergence velocity and finds the best solutions compared to GA, IGA, and basic PSO algorithm in simulation experiments. Experimental results on the AUV simulation platform show that HPSO-based controllers perform well and have strong abilities against current disturbance. It can thus be concluded that the proposed algorithm is feasible for application to AUVs.

Dissolved oxygen(DO)content is an important index of river water quality.Water quality sensors have been used in China for urban river water monitoring and DO content prediction.However,water quality sensors are expensive and difficult to maintain,and have a short operation period and difficult to maintain.This study developed a scientific and accurate method for prediction of DO content changes using fish school features.The behavioral features of the Carassius auratus fish school were described using two-dimensional fish school images.The degree of DO content decline was graded into five levels,and the corresponding numerical ranges of cluster characteristic parameters were determined by considering the opinions of ichthyologists.Finally,the variation of DO content was predicted using the characteristic parameters of the fish school and the multiple-input single-output Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy neural network.The prediction results were basically consistent with the actual variations of DO content.Therefore,it is feasible to use the behavioral features of the fish school to dynamically predict the level of DO content in water,and this method is especially suitable for prediction of sharp decline of DO content in a relatively short time.
