| We address pruning and evaluation of Tapped-Delay Neural Networks for the sunspot benchmark series. It is shown that the generalization ability of the networks can be improved by pruning using the Optimal Brain Damage method of Le Cun, Denker and Solla. A stop criterion for the pruning algorithm is formulated using a modiied version of Akaike's Final Prediction Error estimate. With the propos...

Effect of nano-structuration and compounding of YSZ APS TBCs investigated on coating behavior in thermal shock conditions. The coatings were applied on Inconel 738 discs with three different thickness per powder. In order to harmonize the results from the samples, performance factor is defined as a criterion that in the starting of the activity has an amount of about 100 and is reduced after th...

We propose in this contribution to investigate the link between the dynamic gradient damage model and the classical Griffith’s theory of dynamic fracture during the crack propagation phase. To achieve this main objective, we first rigorously reformulate two-dimensional linear elastic dynamic fracture problems using variational methods and shape derivative techniques. The classical equation of m...

Представлена система критериев компенсации морального вреда. Более подробно рассматривается критерий «заслуживающие внимание обстоятельства». The article presents a system of criteria for compensation moral damage. criterion «meritorious circumstances» is discussed in more detail.

This paper presents a new model updating approach for structural damage localization and quantification. Based on the Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC), a new damage-sensitive cost function is introduced by employing the main diagonal and anti-diagonal members of the calculated Generalized Flexibility Matrix (GFM) for the monitored structure and its analytical model. Then, ...
