Artificial neural network (ANN) based advanced aggregate rutting models have been developed and compared for performance using laboratory test data. The primary goal has been to properly characterize the loading stress path dependent permanent deformation behavior from advanced repeated load triaxial tests that can simulate in the laboratory the varying stress states under actual moving wheel load conditions. The aggregate specimens tested were the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) specified P209 base and P154 subbase materials also used in the pavement test sections of the FAA’s National Airport Pavement Test Facility (NAPTF). Due to the complex loading regimes followed in the laboratory tests and the full-scale NAPTF testing, the ANN rutting models that altogether considered as inputs the static and dynamic components of the applied stresses and the loading stress path slope produced the greatest accuracy. Such advanced neural network models can better describe the aggregate rutting behavior under actual field loading conditions.

A hybrid evolutionary performance improvement procedure for optimisation of continuous variable discharge concentrators Sakuhuni, Givemore; Klein, Bern; Altun, Naci Emre (2015-05-05) An iterative hybrid performance improvement approach integrating artificial neural network modelling and Pareto genetic algorithm optimisation was developed and tested. The optimisation procedure, code named NNREGA, was tested for tuning pilot scale Continuous Variable Discharge Concentrator (CVD) in order to simultaneously maximise recovery and upgrade ratio of gold bearing sulphides from a polymetallic massive sulphide ore. For the tests the CVD was retrofitted during normal operation on the flotation tai...
A Novel Neural Network Method for Direction of Arrival Estimation with Uniform Cylindrical 12-Element Microstrip Patch Array Caylar, Selcuk; Dural, Guelbin; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2008-01-01) In this study a new neural network algorithm is proposed for real time multiple source tracking problem with cylindrical patch antenna array based on a previous v reported Modified Neural Multiple Source Tracking Algorithm(MN-MUST). The proposed algorithm, namely Cylindrical Microstrip Patch Array Modified Neural Multiple Source Tracking Algorithm (CMN-MUST) implements W-MUST algorithm on a cylindrical microsttip patch array structure. CMN-MUST algorithm uses the advantage of directive pattern of microstrip...
A digital neuron realization for the random neural network model CERKEZ, CUNEYT; AYBAY, HADİ IŞIK; Halıcı, Uğur (1997-06-12) In this study the neuron of the random neural network (RNN) model (Gelenbe 1989) is designed using digital circuitry. In the RNN model, each neuron accumulates arriving pulses and can fire if its potential at a given instant of time is strictly positive. Firing occurs at random, the intervals between successive firing instants following an exponential distribution of constant rate. When a neuron fires, it routes the generated pulses to the appropriate output lines in accordance with the connection probabili...
An artificial neural network estimator design for the inferential model predictive control of an industrial multi-component distillation column Bahar, Almila; Özgen, Canan; Department of Chemical Engineering (2003) An inferential control methodology, that utilizes an artificial neural network (ANN) estimator for a model predictive controller, is developed for an industrial multi-component distillation column. In the column, propane and butane is separated from a mixture of propane, n-butane, i-butane, and i-pentane with a top product purity of 96% propane and a bottom product purity of 63% n- butane. Dual composition control of the column must be used in a multivariable model predictive controller for an efficient ope...
A parallel ant colony optimization algorithm based on crossover operation Kalınlı, Adem; Sarıkoç, Fatih (Springer, 2018-11-01) In this work, we introduce a new parallel ant colony optimization algorithm based on an ant metaphor and the crossover operator from genetic algorithms.The performance of the proposed model is evaluated usingwell-known numerical test problems and then it is applied to train recurrent neural networks to identify linear and nonlinear dynamic plants. The simulation results are compared with results using other algorithms.
