Instrumentation, structural modeling, and model updating are incorporated into the design and construction process of a multi-span bridge to change the paradigm of traditional bridge design to a long-term bridge design. A continuous three span composite steel stringer bridge in Barre, Massachusetts was used as a pilot bridge. A monitoring system was installed in order to capture structural beha...

in the present study, a new modelling technique was developed for the modelling and analysis of hyperchaotic systems using an expert system based on wavelet decompositions and the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis). the success and superior properties of this new expert system were shown by applying the hyperchaotic chen system which is a hyperchaotic system. the obtained expert s...

Autism is one of the most common neurological disorders found in children, resulting disabilities, which continue until adulthood. The accurate assessment of autism is considered as a challenging clinical decision making problem because of the presence of various types of uncertainties that exist with its factors such as social interaction, communication and behavior. These factors cannot be me...

High speed trains are an indispensable part of rapid transportation systems in many countries. As the fastest means of transport on the ground, these trains are extremely sensitive to the terrain and track conditions. Geometrical irregularities and mechanical characteristics of the track, together with inconsistencies in the lane (including bridges that support the track) are considered importa...

ultrasonic machining (usm) is a mechanical material removal process used to erode holes and cavities in hard or brittle work pieces by using shaped tools, high-frequency and an abrasive slurry. this paper addresses the concept and development of an expert system (es) for hard and brittle material, such as glass, quartz, diamond, carbides, semi conducting materials, ceramic and graphite which ca...

A framework of integrated expert systems based on fuzzy Petri net, called fuzzy Petri net based expert system (FPNES) are proposed for bridge damage assessment. Major features of FPNES include: reasoning for uncertain and imprecise information; knowledge representation through the use of hierarchical fuzzy Petri nets; reasoning mechanism based on fuzzy Petri nets; and explanation of reasoning p...

today, expert systems are widely applied in medicine for prognosis, diagnosis, checkup, and treatment of various kinds of diseases. a comprehensive system for the checkup and treatment of different types of diabetes is still lacking. this paper reports development of such a system, its validation, and its utility in facilitating medical decision-making and supporting self-care.
