In the present study, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is developed for the prediction of effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of different fillers filled in polymer matrixes. The ANFIS uses a hybrid learning algorithm. The ANFIS is a class of adaptive networks that is functionally equivalent to fuzzy inference systems (FIS). The ANFIS is based on neuro-fuzzy model, trained wit...

In this paper, a modified analysis of Four Wave Mixing (FWM) by incorporating the third-order dispersion parameters is reported. With the help of a modified formula for FWM crosstalk, the effect of secondand third-order dispersion parameters at different input channel powers has been analysed. Under the combined effect of secondand third-order dispersion parameters, the crosstalk introduced by ...

overtaking a slow lead vehicle is a complex maneuver because of the variety of overtaking conditions and driver behavior. in this study, two novel prediction models for overtaking behavior are proposed. these models are derived based on multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (manfis). they are validated at microscopic level and are able to simulate and predict the future...

Pattern search learning is known for simplicity and faster convergence. However, one of the downfalls of this learning is the premature convergence problem. In this paper, we show how we can avoid the possibility of being trapped in a local pit by the introduction of stochastic value. This improved pattern search is then applied on a recurrent type neuro-fuzzy network (ANFIS) to solve time seri...

In the presented study, by using 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 gr sodium hexametaphospathe (NaPO3) suspensions were prepared for hydrometer tests. At the end of the tests, particle diameter of the soil were calculated for each hydrometer reading time (0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 260 min.). By using ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Infirence System) a model was developed to predict of the part...

This note is to point out and correct an error in Sezer et al. (2011). İn the paper (Sezer et al. 2011), the authors mention “ANFIS model has not been used for landslide susceptibility mapping previously”. This statement must be corrected as “The ANFIS model has been applied in landslide susceptibility mapping previously by Pradhan, Sezer, Gokceoglu, and Buchroithner (2010) in a different ...

Conductive silicone rubber has great advantages for tactile sensing applications. The electrical behavior of the elastomeric material is rate-dependent and exhibit hysteresis upon cyclic loading. Several constitutive models were developed for mechanical simulation of this material upon loading and unloading. One of the successful approaches to model the time-dependent behavior of elastomers is ...

The aims of this research are to study application of high power ultrasound in preparation of stable oil-in-water emulsion. The effect of pH, ionic strength, pectin, Guar gum, lecithin, egg yolk, and xanthan gum as well as the time of sonication, temperature and viscosity of oil-water mixture on the specific surface area and size of droplets, and creaming index of the emulsion samples was inves...
