In this research, the relationship between physical measurements and subjective evaluations of floor impact noise in apartment building was quantified by applying the neural network analysis due to its complex and nonlinear characteristics. The neural network analysis was undertaken by setting up L-value, inverse A index, Zwicker parameters and ACF/IACF factors, as input data, which came from the measurements at real suites of apartment building having various sound insulations. The subjective responses from the psychoacoustic experiments were extracted as output data. Then, the reliability of the quantitative prediction for the subjective loudness was evaluated.

A fuzzy neural network model is presented to predict residual stress for dissimilar metal welding under various welding conditions. The fuzzy neural network model, which consists of a fuzzy inference system and a neuronal training system, is optimized by a hybrid learning method that combines a genetic algorithm to optimize the membership function parameters and a least squares method to solve the consequent parameters. The data of finite element analysis are divided into four data groups, which are split according to two end-section constraints and two prediction paths. Four fuzzy neural network models were therefore applied to the numerical data obtained from the finite element analysis for the two end-section constraints and the two prediction paths. The fuzzy neural network models were trained with the aid of a data set prepared for training (training data), optimized by means of an optimization data set and verified by means of a test data set that was different (independent) from the training data and the optimization data. The accuracy of fuzzy neural network models is known to be sufficiently accurate for use in an integrity evaluation by predicting the residual stress of dissimilar metal welding zones.

Using the neural network model for oriented principal component analysis (OPCA), we propose a solution to the data least squares (DLS) problem, in which the error is assumed to lie in the data matrix only. In this paper, we applied this neural network model to channel equalization. Simulations show that the neural network based DLS outperforms ordinary least squares in channel equalization problems.

Mechanical valve is one of the most widely used implantable artificial organs, Since its failure (mechanical failures and thrombosis to name two representative example) means the death of patient, its reliability is very important and early noninvasive detection is essential requirement . This paper will explain the method to detect the thrombosis formation by spectral analysis and neural network. In order quantitatively to distinguish peak of a normal valve from that of a thrombotic valve, a 3 layer backpropagation neural network, which contains 7,000 input nodes, 20 hidden layer and 1output , was employed. The trained neural network can distinguish normal and thrombotic valve with a probability that is higher than 90% . In conclusion, the acoustical spectrum analysis coupled with a neural network algorithm lent itself to the noninvasive monitoring of implanted mechanical valves. This method will be applied to be applied to the performance evaluation of other implantable rtificial organs.

Adaptive control in the robotic GMA(Gas Metal Arc) welding is employed to monitor the information about weld characteristics and process paramters as well as modification of those parameters to hold weld quality within the acceptable limits. Typical characteristics are the bead geometry composition micrrostructure appearance and process parameters which govern the quality of the final weld. The main objectives of this paper are to realize the mapping characteristicso f penetration through the learning. After learning the neural network can predict the pene-traition desired from the learning mapping characteristic. The design parameters of the neural network estimator(the number of hidden layers and the number of nodes in a layer) were chosen from an error analysis. partial-penetration single-pass bead-on-plate welds were fabricated in 12mm mild steel plates in order to verify the performance of the neural network estimator. The experimental results show that the proposed neural network estimator can predict the penetration with reasonable accuracy and gurarantee the uniform weld quality.

Long-term runoff model can be used to establish the effective plan of water reources allocation and the determination of the storage capacity of reservoir. So this study aims at the development of monthly runoff model using artificial neural network technique. For this, it was selected multi-layer neural network(MLN) and radial basis function neural network(RFN) model. In this study, it was applied model to analysis monthly runoff process at the Wi stream basin in Nakdong river which is representative experimental river basin of IHP. For this, multi-layer neural network model tried to construct input 3, hidden 7, and output 1 for each number of layer. As the result of analysis of monthly runoff process using models connected with artificial neural network technique, it showed that these models were effective in the simulation of monthly runoff.

A prediction method for determining the welding residual stress by artificial neural network is proposed. A three-dimensional transient thermo-mechanical analysis has been performed for the $CO_2$ arc welding using the finite element method. The first part of numerical analysis performs a three-dimensional transient heat transfer analysis, and the second part then uses the results of the first part and performs a three-dimensional transient thermo-elastic-plastic analysis to compute transient and residual stresses in the weld. Data from the finite element method are used to train a back propagation neural network to predict the residual stress. Architecturally, the fully interconnected network consists of an input layer for the voltage and current, a hidden layer to accommodate the failure mechanism mapping, and an output layer for the residual stress. The trained network is then applied to the prediction of residual stress in the four specimens. It is concluded that the accuracy of the neural network predicting method is fully comparable with the accuracy achieved by the traditional predicting method.

The purpose of this paper is to develop Neural Network models for Approximate Structural Analysis (NNASA). As an initial stage, the paper classifies the characteristics and the active role of neural networks in the numerical analysis by comparing neural networks with conventional numerical analysis algorithms. The paper proposed two methods of finding solutions of linear algebraic equations by a modified neural network algorithm, and presents that multilayer feedforward networks are a class of universal approximators by comparing the neural network with regression and interpolation techniques.

This paper attempts to employ and investigate neural based approaches as interpolation tools for modeling of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) drive. Precise modeling of SRM is essential to analyse the performance of control strategies for variable speed drive application. In this work the suitability of Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN) and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) in addition to conventional neural network are explored for improving the modeling accuracy of SRM. The neural structures are trained with the data obtained by modeling of SRM using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and the trained neural network is incorporated in the model of SRM drive. The results signify the modeling accuracy with GRNN model. The closed loop drive simulation is performed in MATLAB/Simulink environment and the closeness of the results in comparison with the experimental prototype validates the modeling approach.
