Prediction of the maximum air velocities created by metro trains using an artificial neural network approach
KOC, Gencer; Sert, Cüneyt; Albayrak, Kahraman (2014-09-01)
The maximum air velocity created by a moving train inside a tunnel is obtained using an artificial neural network approach. A neural network model is developed to represent a single train travelling in a single tunnel. A set of non-dimensional groups, which are known to influence the induced flow characteristics, is used for the training of the neural network. Various test runs are compared with the results of the authoritative software, Subway Environmental Simulation. The presence of ventilation shafts wi...
Prediction of Modal Response of Towers Using Artificial Neural Networks
Yücel, Özge; Demir, Berkan; Ates, H. Ibrahim; ALDEMİR, ALPER (2022-01-01)
Overhead transmission line towers may be subjected to a severe level of earthquake-related forces if the line lies in a seismically active region. However, the traditional practice in the industry generally overlooks the effect of seismic forces on the structural demand in parallel with universally valid design codes claiming that the base shear that emerges on an earthquake would generally be less than wind or wind + ice combined conditions. On the other side, in recent years, a rising number of scientific...
Prediction of water retention curves using neural networks
Türkmen, Melek; Toker, Nabi Kartal; Pekcan, Onur; Department of Civil Engineering (2020-8)
Soil water-retention curve (WRC) relates tension in soil water to soil suction. WRC information has pivotal importance for revealing the behavior of unsaturated soils. Methods for obtaining retention curves are either too expensive or time consuming. Instigated by the demand on fast predictions, this study expressed a composition of a 88 NN designs opened up with (i) hyperparameter tuning, (ii) reexamination of expressions of WRC and GSD. The data was extracted from UNSODA database which encompasses a broad...
Prediction of downpull on high head gates using computational fluid dynamics
Uysal, Mehmet Akış; Köken, Mete; Aydın, İsmail; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
For design purposes it is important to predict the downpull forces on the tunnel gates installed in the intake of a hydropower plant. In this study downpull forces on the gates are evaluated for different closure rates and for different gate lip geometries using computational fluid dynamics and the results are compared to an existing experimental study. Commercial ANSYS FLUENT software is used in the calculations. It is found that downpull coefficients obtained from computational study showed good agreement...
Prediction of hexagonal lattice parameters of various apatites by artificial neural networks
Kockan, Umit; Evis, Zafer (International Union of Crystallography (IUCr), 2010-08-01)
In this study, the hexagonal lattice parameters of apatite compounds, M-10(TO4)(6)X-2, where M is Na+, Ca2+, Ba2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Sr2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Eu2+, Nd3+, La3+ or Y3+, T is As+5, Cr+5, P5+, V5+ or Si+4, and X is F-, Cl-, OH- or Br-, were predicted from their ionic radii by artificial neural networks. A multilayer perceptron network was used for training and the best results were obtained with a Bayesian regularization method. Four neurons were used in the hidden layer, utilizing a tangent sigmoid activati...
