Prediction of the production rate of the cutting dimensional stone process is crucial, especially when chain saw machines are used. The cutting dimensional rock process is generally a complex issue with numerous effective factors including variable and unreliable conditions of the rocks and cutting machines. The Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) type of neural network and Radial Basis Functi...

evaporation is one of the most important components of hydrologic cycle.accurate estimation of this parameter is used for studies such as water balance,irrigation system design, and water resource management. in order to estimate theevaporation, direct measurement methods or physical and empirical models can beused. using direct methods require installing meteorological stations andinstruments ...

awareness of the level of river flow and its fluctuations at different times is one of the significant factor to achieve sustainable development for water resource issues. therefore, the present study two hybrid models, wavelet- adaptive neural fuzzy interference system (wanfis) and wavelet- artificial neural network (wann) are used for flow prediction of gamasyab river (nahavand, hamedan, iran...

This paper presents a method to control both the dc boost and the ac output voltage of Z-source inverter using neural network controllers. The capacitor voltage of Z-source network has been controlled linearly in order to improve the transient response of the dc boost control of the Z-source inverter. The peak value of the line to line ac output voltage is used to control and keep the ac output...

in this paper, a recurrent fuzzy-neural network (rfnn) controller with neural network identifier in direct control model is designed to control the speed and exhaust temperature of the gas turbine in a combined cycle power plant. since the turbine operation in combined cycle unit is considered, speed and exhaust temperature of the gas turbine should be simultaneously controlled by fuel command ...

Bio-absorbent palm fiber was applied for removal of cationic violet methyl dye from water solution. For this purpose, a solid phase extraction method combined with the artificial neural network (ANN) was used for preconcentration and determination of removal level of violet methyl dye. This method is influenced by factors such as pH, the contact time, the rotation speed, and the adsorbent dosag...

in this paper we propose a method for solving some well-known classes of lane-emden type equations which are nonlinear ordinary differential equations on the semi-innite domain. the proposed approach is based on an unsupervised combined articial neural networks (ucann) method. firstly, the trial solutions of the differential equations are written in the form of feed-forward neural networks co...

the metal sheets play an important role in the mechanical design, particularly in the aerospace structures. the rivet connections are frequently used to connect these sheets. the riveting quality greatly influences the rupture of the rivet and the sheet. the various parameters affect the quality of this operation. in this paper, the optimization of the parameters contributing to the riveting qu...
