this research intends to develop a method based on the artificial neural network (ann) to predict permanent earthquake-induced deformation of the earth dams and embankments. for this purpose, data sets of observations from 152 published case histories on the performance of the earth dams and embankments, during the past earthquakes, was used. in order to predict earthquake-induced deformation o...

it is necessary to use empirical models for estimating of instantaneous peak discharge because of deficit of gauging stations in the country. hence, at present study, two models including artificial neural networks and nonlinear multivariate regression were used to predict peak discharge in taleghan watershed. maximum daily mean discharge and corresponding daily rainfall, one day antecedent and...

In recent years, biodiesel has been considered as a good alternative of diesel fuels. Density and viscosity are two important properties of these fuels. In this study, density and kinematic viscosity of biodiesel-diesel blends were estimated by using artificial neural network (ANN). A three-layer feed forward neural network with Levenberg-Marquard (LM) algorithm was used for learning empirical ...

In this study, an artificial neural network was used to predict the minimum force required to single point incremental forming (SPIF) of thin sheets of Aluminium AA3003-O and calamine brass Cu67Zn33 alloy. Accordingly, the parameters for processing, i.e., step depth, the feed rate of the tool, spindle speed, wall angle, thickness of metal sheets and type of material were selected as input and t...

This paper uses nonlinear regression, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Genetic Programming (GP) approaches for predicting an important tangible issue i.e. scours dimensions downstream of inverted siphon structures. Dimensional analysis and nonlinear regression-based equations was proposed for estimation of maximum scour depth, location of the scour hole, location and height of the dune downs...

Floods are one of the most common natural disasters that occur frequently causing massive damage to property, agriculture, economy and life. Flood prediction offers a huge challenge for researchers struggling predict floods since long time. In this article, flood forecasting model using federated learning technique has been proposed. Federated Learning is advanced machine (ML) guarantees data p...

infiltration rate is one of the most important soil physical parameters and is a basic input data in irrigation and drainage projects. although, a number of theoretical or experimental based equations are presented to describe this phenomenon but the evaluation of some new sciences such as artificial neural networks, for prediction of the phenomenon can be investigated. generally, the infiltrat...
