In this study, artificial neural network was used to predict the microhardness of Al2024-multiwall carbon nanotube(MWCNT) composite prepared by mechanical alloying. Accordingly, the operational condition, i.e., the amount of reinforcement, ball to powder weight ratio, compaction pressure, milling time, time and temperature of sintering as well as vial speed were selected as independent input an...

CNC machining is known as an advanced machining process increasingly used for modern materials. This paper outlines modeling methodology applied to optimize cutting parameters during CNC milling with ball end mill tool. The parameters taken into account were radial depth of cut and feed per tooth. A predictive model was based on artificial neural network approach. Key-Words: Modeling, artificia...

The authors have been developing several models based on artificial neural networks, linear regression models, BoxJenkins methodology and ARIMA models to predict the time series of tourism. The time series consist in the “Monthly Number of Guest Nights in the Hotels” of one region. Several comparisons between the different type models have been experimented as well as the features used at the e...

accurate prediction of municipal solid waste’s quality and quantity is crucial for designing and programming municipal solid waste management system. but predicting the amount of generated waste is difficult task because various parameters affect it and its fluctuation is high. in this research with application of feed forward artificial neural network, an appropriate model for predicting the...

artificial neural networks have the advantages such as learning, adaptation, fault-tolerance, parallelism and generalization. this paper mainly intends to offer a novel method for finding a solution of a fuzzy equation that supposedly has a real solution. for this scope, we applied an architecture of fuzzy neural networks such that the corresponding connection weights are real numbers. the sugg...

In this paper, a learning control system is considered for motion systems that are subject to two types of disturbances; reproducible disturbances, that re-occur each run in the same way, and random disturbances. In motion systems, a large part of the disturbances appear to be reproducible. In the control system considered, the reproducible disturbances are compensated by a learning component c...

In this paper the RSA algorithm has been implemented with feed forward artificial neural network using MATLAB. This implementation is focused on the network parameters like topology, training algoritahm, no. of hidden layers, no. of neurons in each layer and learning rate in order to get the more efficient results. Many examples are tested and it is obtained that two hidden layers feed forward ...

Incremental artificial neural networks grow when they learn and shrink when they forget. Competitive Hebbian learning generates the network structure by addition and removal of cells and links. Thus, no network design phase is necessary. The growing cell structure and the growing neural gas network may replace common feed-forward networks in a lot of classification and interpolation tasks.

This paper presents computational approach for stock market prediction. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) forms a useful tool in predicting price movement of a particular stock. In the short term, the pricing relationship between the elements of a sector holds firmly. An ANN can learn this pricing relationship to high degree of accuracy and be deployed to generate profits with sufficiently large ...
