Prediction of the gas holdup and pressure drop in a horizontal pipe for gas-non-Newtonian liquid flow using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) methodology have been reported in this paper from the data acquired from our earlier experiment. The ANN prediction is done using Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP) trained with three different algorithms, namely: Backpropagation (BP), Scaled Conjugate gradient ...

In this paper back-propagation artificial neural network (BPANN) with Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm is employed to predict the limiting drawing ratio (LDR) of the deep drawing process. To prepare a training set for BPANN, some finite element simulations were carried out. die and punch radius, die arc radius, friction coefficient, thickness, yield strength of sheet and strain hardening exponent ...

This chapter focuses on comparing the forecasting ability of the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) and the nonlinear autoregressive moving average with exogenous inputs (NARX) network trained with different algorithms; namely the quasi-Newton (Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno, BFGS), conjugate gradient (Fletcher-Reeves update, Polak-Ribiére update, Powell-Beale restart), and Levenberg-Marqu...

Two kinds of the Levenberg-Marquardt-type methods for the solution of vertical complementarity problem are introduced. The methods are based on a nonsmooth equation reformulation of the vertical complementarity problem for its solution. Local and global convergence results and some remarks about the two kinds of the Levenberg-Marquardt-type methods are also given. Finally, numerical experiments...

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been promising tools for many applications. In recent years, a computer-aided design approach based on (ANNs) has been introduced to microwave modelling, simulation and optimization. In this work, the characteristic parameters of top shielded multilayered coplanar waveguides (CPWs) have been determined with the use of ANN models. These neural models were t...

Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm and conjugate gradient method are frequently used for optimization in multi-layer perceptron (MLP). However, both algorithms have mixed conclusions optimizing MLP time series forecasting. This study uses autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) with method. These methods were to predict the Air Pollutant Index (API) Malaysia's central region where represent...

We propose a modification to the Levenberg-Marquardt minimization algorithm for a more robust and more efficient calibration of highly parameterized, strongly nonlinear models of multiphase flow through porous media. The new method combines the advantages of truncated singular value decomposition with those of the classical Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, thus enabling a more robust solution of ...

The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is one of the most popular algorithms for the solution of nonlinear least squares problems. In this paper, we propose and analyze the global and local convergence results of a novel Levenberg-Marquadt method for solving general nonlinear least squares problems. The proposed algorithm enjoys strong convergence properties (global convergence as well as quadratic ...

In this paper, a Levenberg-Marquardt inspired sliding mode control theory based adaptation laws are proposed to train an intelligent fuzzy neural network controller for a quadrotor aircraft. The proposed controller is used to control and stabilize a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle in the presence of periodic wind gust. A proportional-derivative controller is firstly introduced based on which ...
