Genetic algorithm (GA) is adopted to optimize the back-propagation neural network connection weights. The training and validating samples are made by the BTM Tog-L-Loc system with different technologic parameters. The training samples' parameters and the corresponding joints' mechanical properties are supplied to the artificial neural network (ANN) for training. The validating samples' experimental data is used for checking up the prediction outputs. The calculation results show that GA can improve the model's prediction precision and generalization ability of BP neural network. The comparative analysis between the experimental data and the prediction outputs shows that ANN prediction models after training can effectively predict the mechanical properties of mechanical clinching joints and prove the feasibility and reliability of the intelligent neural networks system when used in the mechanical properties prediction of mechanical clinching joints. The prediction results can be used for a reference in the design of mechanical clinching steel-aluminum joints.展开更多

Therefore, the fatigue life of modified HMA samples using polypropylene and polyester fibers was evaluated and two models namely regression and artificial neural network(ANN) were used to predict the fatigue life based on the fibers parameters. As ANN contains many parameters such as the number of hidden layers which directly influence the prediction accuracy, genetic algorithm(GA) was used to solve optimization problem for ANN. Moreover, the trial and error method was used to optimize the GA parameters such as the population size. The comparison of the results obtained from regression and optimized ANN with GA shows that the two-hidden-layer ANN with two and five neurons in the first and second hidden layers, respectively, can predict the fatigue life of fiber-reinforced HMA with high accuracy(correlation coefficient of 0.96).展开更多

The neural network was used to acquire the weights of reservoir parameters through sample training and genetic algorithm was used to optimize the initial connection weights of nerve cells in case the neural network fell into a local minimum. Additionally, subordinate functions of each parameter were established to normalize the actual values of parameters of coalbed methane reservoirs in the range between zero and unity. Eventually, evaluation values of all coalbed methane reservoirs could be obtained by using the comprehensive evaluation method, which is the basis to rank the coalbed methane reservoirs in the order of exploitation priority. The greater the evaluation value, the higher the exploitation priority. The ranking method was verified in this paper by ten exploited coalbed methane reservoirs in China. The evaluation results are in agreement with the actual exploitation cases. The method can ensure the truthfulness and credibility of the weights of parameters and avoid the subjectivity caused by experts. Furthermore, the probability of falling into local minima is reduced, because genetic the algorithm is used to optimize the neural network system.展开更多

[ Method ] The artificial neural network (ANN) was used to stimulate the degradation of free gossypol in cottonseed meal by extrusion process, and a three-layer back propagation neural network was established to predict the degradation of free gossypol. [ Result] The result of 10-fold cross validation showed that the ANN with the training function as traingdx at hidden layer with eight neurons gave the smallest mean square error (MSE). ANN predicted results were very close to the experimental results with correlation coefficient (R2 ) of 0.994 1 and RMSE of 0.497 1. A genetic algorithm (GA) based on the established neural network model was also used for optimizing de-gossypol process. The re- sults of GA showed that the optimal conditions of de-gossypol were puffing temperature 131℃, water ratio 51% , rotational speed 158 r/rain, and feeding speed 136 kg/h, while under this condition the degradation rate of free gossypol was 90.50%, which was close to the predicted result of CA with the small average relative er- ror of 1.38%. [ Conclusion] These results suggested that the GA based on a neural network model might be an excellent tool for optimizing cottonseed meal de-gos- sypol process.展开更多

ANN predicted results were very close to the experimental results with correlation coefficient (R2 ) of 0.994 1 and RMSE of 0.497 1. A genetic algorithm (GA) based on the established neural network model was also used for optimizing de-gossypol process. The re- sults of GA showed that the optimal conditions of de-gossypol were puffing temperature 131℃, water ratio 51% , rotational speed 158 r/rain, and feeding speed 136 kg/h, while under this condition the degradation rate of free gossypol was 90.50%, which was close to the predicted result of CA with the small average relative er- ror of 1.38%. [ Conclusion] These results suggested that the GA based on a neural network model might be an excellent tool for optimizing cottonseed meal de-gos- sypol process.
文摘The three-layer forward neural networks are used to establish the inverse kinematics models of robot manipulators. The fuzzy genetic algorithm based on the linear scaling of the fitness value is presented to update the weights of neural networks. To increase the search speed of the algorithm, the crossover probability and the mutation probability are adjusted through fuzzy control and the fitness is modified by the linear scaling method in FGA. Simulations show that the proposed method improves considerably the precision of the inverse kinematics solutions for robot manipulators and guarantees a rapid global convergence and overcomes the drawbacks of SGA and the BP algorithm.
文摘Confirmation of basic technological parameters of tension levellers is the most important factor of leveling strip. Up to now, most factories have used experts’ experience to decide these parameters, without any established rule to follow. For better quality of strip, a valid method is needed to decide technological parameters precisely and reasonably. In this paper, a method is used based on neural network and genetic algorithm. Neural network has a good ability to extract rules from work process of tension levellers. Then using neural network, which has learned from a lot of working samples, to be the evaluation of fitness, genetic algorithm could easily find the best or better technological parameters. At the end of this paper, examinations are given to show the effect of this method.
文摘Layered feedforward neural network training algorithm based on traditional BP algorithm may lead to entrapment in local optimum, and has the defects such as slow convergent speed and unsatis-fied dynamic character which reduce the study ability of the network. This paper presents an improved adaptive genetic algorithm (IAGA) for training the neural network efficiently that uses a forward adaptive technique and takes the advantages of the network architecture. The experimental results show that our al-gorithm outperforms BP algorithm, BGA algorithm and AGA algorithm, and the dynamic character,training accuracy and efficiency proved greatly.
