One of the cause of insulation failure in power cable is well known by electrical treeing discharge. This is occurred for imposed continuous stress at cable. And this event is related to safety, reliability and maintenance. In this paper, throughout analysis of partial discharge(PD) distribution when occurring the electrical tree, is studied for the purpose of knowing of electrical treeing discharge characteristics according to defects. Own characteristic of tree will be differently processed in each defect and this reason is the first purpose of this paper. To acquire PD data, three defective tree models were made. And their own data is shown by the phase-resolved partial discharge method (PRPD). As a result of PRPD, tree discharge sources have their own characteristics. And if other defects (void, metal particle) exist internal power cable then their characteristics are shown very different. This result Is related to the time of breakdown and this is importance of cable diagnosis. And classification method of PD sources was studied in this paper. It needs select the most useful method to apply PD data classification one of the proposed method. To meet the requirement, we select methods of different type. That is, neural network(NN-BP), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and PCA-LDA were applied to result. As a result of, ANFIS shows the highest rate which value is 98 %. Generally, PCA-LDA and ANFIS are better than BP. Finally, we performed classification of tree progress using ANFIS and that result is 92 %.

The determination of the mixture parameters of stabilization has become a great concern in geotechnical applications. This paper presents an effort about the application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques including radial basis neural network (RBNN), multi-layer perceptrons (MLP), generalized regression neural network (GRNN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) in order to predict the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of silty soil stabilized with bottom ash (BA), jute fiber (JF) and steel fiber (SF) under different freeze-thaw cycles (FTC). The dosages of the stabilizers and number of freeze-thaw cycles were employed as input (predictor) variables and the UCS values as output variable. For understanding the dominant parameter of the predictor variables on the UCS of stabilized soil, a sensitivity analysis has also been performed. The performance measures of root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and determination coefficient ($R^2$) were used for the evaluations of the prediction accuracy and applicability of the employed models. The results indicate that the predictions due to all AI techniques employed are significantly correlated with the measured UCS ($p{\leq}0.05$). They also perform better predictions than nonlinear regression (NLR) in terms of the performance measures. It is found from the model performances that RBNN approach within AI techniques yields the highest satisfactory results (RMSE = 55.4 kPa, MAE = 45.1 kPa, and $R^2=0.988$). The sensitivity analysis demonstrates that the JF inclusion within the input predictors is the most effective parameter on the UCS responses, followed by FTC.

As a nondestructive testing method, the Schmidt rebound hammer is widely used for structural health monitoring. During application, a Schmidt hammer hits the surface of a concrete mass. According to the principle of rebound, concrete strength depends on the hardness of the concrete energy surface. Study aims to identify the main variables affecting the results of Schmidt rebound hammer reading and consequently the results of structural health monitoring of concrete structures using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The ANFIS process for variable selection was applied for this purpose. This procedure comprises some methods that determine a subsection of the entire set of detailed factors, which present analytical capability. ANFIS was applied to complete a flexible search. Afterward, this method was applied to conclude how the five main factors (namely, age, silica fume, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and water) used in designing concrete mixture influence the Schmidt rebound hammer reading and consequently the structural health monitoring accuracy. Results show that water is considered the most significant parameter of the Schmidt rebound hammer reading. The details of this study are discussed thoroughly.

Generally, treated water or raw water is transported into storage reservoirs which are receiving facilities of local governments from multi-regional water supply systems. A water supply control and operation center is operated not only to manage the water facilities more economically and efficiently but also to mitigate the shortage of water resources due to the increase in water consumption. To achieve the goal, important information such as the flow-rate in the systems, water levels of storage reservoirs or tanks, and pump-operation schedule should be considered based on the resonable water demand forecasting. However, it is difficult to acquire the pattern of water demand used in local government, since the operating information is not shared between multi-regional and local water systems. The pattern of water demand is irregular and unpredictable. Also, additional changes such as an abrupt accident and frequent changes of electric power rates could occur. Consequently, it is not easy to forecast accurate water demands. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a short-term water demands forecasting and to develop an application of the forecasting models. In this study, the forecasting simulator for water demand is developed based on mathematical and neural network methods as linear and non-linear models to implement the optimal water demands forecasting. It is shown that MLP(Multi-Layered Perceptron) and ANFIS(Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) can be applied to obtain better forecasting results in multi-regional water supply systems with a large scale and local water supply systems with small or medium scale than conventional methods, respectively.

가뭄은 홍수와 달리 진행속도가 비교적 느리기 때문에 초기에 감지한다면 피해를 최소화 할 수 있다. 국내에서는 가뭄전망을 위해 물리적 기반의 기상-수문연계해석 시스템을 구축하여 월 내지 계절전망을 수행하고 있다. 물리적 기반의 가뭄전망은 수치예보모델의 불확실성을 가지고 있으므로 예보 정확도 개선의 측면에서는 통계적 모델을 같이 활용하는 것이 바람직하다. 최근 국외에서는 통계적 방법인 AI (Artificial Intelligence) 기술을 사용하여 가뭄을 전망하는 연구가 활발히 진행 중이나, 아직까지 국내에서는 관련연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) 기반의 댐 유입량 예측 모델을 구축하고 SRI (Standardized Runoff Index)를 활용하여 수문학적 가뭄전망을 수행하였다. 대상유역은 국내 주요 다목적댐이 위치한 충주댐 유역과 소양강댐 유역을 선정하였다. 수문 및 기상자료는 국토 교통부 및 기상청의 관측 댐 유입량, 관측 강수량, 관측 기온 및 장기기상예보 자료를 사용하였다. ANFIS 모델 구축을 위한 훈련 및 보정기간과 검정기간은 각각 1987~2010년과 2011~2016년을 선정하였다. 수문학적 가뭄전망은 지속기간 3개월의 1개월 전망 SRI3를 활용하였으며, SRI3는 관측유입량과 예측유입량을 결합하여 산정하였다. 댐 예측유입량 및 수문학적 가뭄전망의 정확도 평가를 위해 상관계수, 평균제곱근오차를 활용하였다. 댐 예측유입량 평가 결과 예측값과 관측값의 상관계수가 높게 나타났으며, 평균제곱근오차는 낮아 예측성이 뛰어났다. SRI3의 경우 관측값과 예측값의 가뭄발생시기가 유사하여 가뭄을 적절하게 반영하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 통계적 기반의 수문학적 가뭄전망기법을 개발하였다는 측면에서 의의가 있으며, 향후 물리적 기반의 가뭄전망정보와 결합한다면 보다 실효성이 향상될 것으로 기대된다.

Power peaking factors (PPF) is an important parameter for safe and efficient reactor operation. There are several methods to calculate the PPF at TRIGA research reactors such as MCNP and TRIGLAV codes. However, these methods are time-consuming and required high specifications of a computer system. To overcome these limitations, artificial intelligence was introduced for parameter prediction. Previous studies applied the neural network method to predict the PPF, but the publications using the ANFIS method are not well developed yet. In this paper, the prediction of PPF using the ANFIS was conducted. Two input variables, control rod position, and neutron flux were collected while the PPF was calculated using TRIGLAV code as the data output. These input-output datasets were used for ANFIS model generation, training, and testing. In this study, four ANFIS model with two types of input space partitioning methods shows good predictive performances with R² values in the range of 96%-97%, reveals the strong relationship between the predicted and actual PPF values. The RMSE calculated also near zero. From this statistical analysis, it is proven that the ANFIS could predict the PPF accurately and can be used as an alternative method to develop a real-time monitoring system at TRIGA research reactors.

The properties of soil are naturally highly variable and thus, to ensure proper safety and reliability, we need to test a large number of samples across the length and depth. In pile foundations, conducting field tests are highly expensive and the traditional empirical relations too have been proven to be poor in performance. The study proposes a state-of-art Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) hybridized Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS); and comparative analysis of metaheuristic models (ANN-PSO, ELM-PSO, ANFIS-PSO) for prediction of bearing capacity of pile foundation trained and tested on dataset of nearly 300 dynamic pile tests from the literature. A novel ensemble model of three hybrid models is constructed to combine and enhance the predictions of the individual models effectively. The authenticity of the dataset is confirmed using descriptive statistics, correlation matrix and sensitivity analysis. Ram weight and diameter of pile are found to be most influential input parameter. The comparative analysis reveals that ANFIS-PSO is the best performing model in testing phase (R² = 0.85, RMSE = 0.01) while ELM-PSO performs best in training phase (R² = 0.88, RMSE = 0.08); while the ensemble provided overall best performance based on the rank score. The performance of ANN-PSO is least satisfactory compared to the other two models. The findings were confirmed using Taylor diagram, error matrix and uncertainty analysis. Based on the results ELM-PSO and ANFIS-PSO is proposed to be used for the prediction of bearing capacity of piles and ensemble learning method of joining the outputs of individual models should be encouraged. The study possesses the potential to assist geotechnical engineers in the design phase of civil engineering projects.

본 논문에서는 이동 통신 시스템 내에 존재하는 이동성 데이타베이스의 실패 처리를 위한 이동성 학습과 예측에 기반한 회복 기법을 제안한다. 이동 통신 시스템에서 이동성 데이타베이스는 사용자들에게 빠른 연결을 제공하기 위해 사용자의 현재 위치 정보를 유지해야 한다 그러나, 이동성 데이터베이스의 실패는 사용자의 위치 정보를 잃어버리게 만든다. 결과적으로, 명백한 회복 과정 없이는 실패 상황에서 사용자의 호 요청은 거절된다. 따라서, 이동성 데이타베이스에 실패가 발생하였을 때, 실패에 효과적으로 대처할 수 있는 명백한 회복 기법이 사용자들에게 연속적인 서비스 가용성을 보장해 주기 위해서 필요하다. 본 논문의 회복 기법에서 사용되는 이동성 학습과 예측은 이동성 데이타베이스의 실패 후 시스템에 의해서 사용자의 위치를 파악하기 위한 기능을 담당한다. 실패 없는 연산 동안 사용자의 이동 패턴은 뉴로-퍼지 추론 시스템에 의해서 학습되며, 학습된 위치 정보는 실패 후 잃어버린 사용자의 위치를 파악하기 위해서 사용된다. 따라서, 본 논문의 회복 기법은 백업 과정과 검사점 정보를 저장하기 위해 필요한 부가적인 저장 공간을 요구하지 않기 때문에 검사점을 사용하는 이전의 접근방법과 다르다. 게다가, 성능 분석을 위한 시뮬레이션은 본 논문의 회복 기법이 실패 후 잃어버린 사용자의 위치 정보를 회복하는데 소요되는 비용을 검사점에 기반한 회복 기법과 비교하여 상당히 줄일 수 있음을 보여준다.

Due to the impressive flexural performance, enhanced compressive strength and more constrained crack propagation, Fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC) have been widely employed in the construction application. Majority of experimental studies have focused on the seismic behavior of FRC columns. Based on the valid experimental data obtained from the previous studies, the current study has evaluated the seismic response and compressive strength of FRC rectangular columns while following hybrid metaheuristic techniques. Due to the non-linearity of seismic data, Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) has been incorporated with metaheuristic algorithms. 317 different datasets from FRC column tests has been applied as one database in order to determine the most influential factor on the ultimate strengths of FRC rectangular columns subjected to the simulated seismic loading. ANFIS has been used with the incorporation of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic algorithm (GA). For the analysis of the attained results, Extreme learning machine (ELM) as an authentic prediction method has been concurrently used. The variable selection procedure is to choose the most dominant parameters affecting the ultimate strengths of FRC rectangular columns subjected to simulated seismic loading. Accordingly, the results have shown that ANFIS-PSO has successfully predicted the seismic lateral load with R² = 0.857 and 0.902 for the test and train phase, respectively, nominated as the lateral load prediction estimator. On the other hand, in case of compressive strength prediction, ELM is to predict the compressive strength with R² = 0.657 and 0.862 for test and train phase, respectively. The results have shown that the seismic lateral force trend is more predictable than the compressive strength of FRC rectangular columns, in which the best results belong to the lateral force prediction. Compressive strength prediction has illustrated a significant deviation above 40 Mpa which could be related to the considerable non-linearity and possible empirical shortcomings. Finally, employing ANFIS-GA and ANFIS-PSO techniques to evaluate the seismic response of FRC are a promising reliable approach to be replaced for high cost and time-consuming experimental tests.
