چکیده

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of the artificial neural network (ANN) models in estimating river ice thickness using easy available climate data. A site specific ANN models were developed for two hydrometric stations at two rivers in Alberta (Canada). The ANN models were found to adequately estimate ice thickness. Ways to improve the performances of the ANN models are proposed.

Using Artificial Neural Networks to Predict Rolling Force and Real Exit Thickness of Steel Strips

There is a complicated relation between cold flat rolling parameters such as effective input parameters of cold rolling, output cold rolling force and exit thickness of strips. In many mathematical models, the effect of some cold rolling parameters has been ignored and the outputs have not a desirable accuracy. In the other hand, there is a special relation among input thickness of strips, the ...
