In this paper, a neural-network-based control algorithm has been developed and tested in the computer simulation of active control of a three-story frame structure subjected to ground excitations.Abstract:
A new neural-network-based control algorithm has been developed and tested in the computer simulation of active control of a three-story frame structure subjected to ground excitations. First, an emulator neural network has been trained to forecast the future response of the structure from the immediate history of the system's response, which consists of the structure plus an actuator. The trained emulator has been used in predicting the future responses and in evaluating the sensitivities of the control signal with respect to those responses. At each time step of the simulation, the control signal has been adjusted to induce the required control force in the actuator based in a control criterion. A controller neural network has been trained to learn the relation between the immediate history of response of the structure and actuator, and the adjusted control signals. The trained neurocontroller has been used in controlling the structure for different dynamic loading conditions. Results of this initial st...read more

Prediction of the strength of mineral admixture concrete using multivariable regression analysis and an artificial neural network
TL;DR: Although multiple regression analysis was more accurate than Artificial neural network in predicting the compressive strength using values obtained from non-destructive testing, the artificial neural network models performed better than did multiple regressionAnalysis models.

Bayesian wavelet packet denoising for structural system identification
TL;DR: A Bayesian discrete wavelet packet transform denoising approach is developed that avoids the arbitrary selection of threshold required in classical wavelet thresholding methods and considers the uncertainty of noise, thus resulting in more accurate Denoising result.

Approximation capabilities of multilayer feedforward networks
TL;DR: It is shown that standard multilayer feedforward networks with as few as a single hidden layer and arbitrary bounded and nonconstant activation function are universal approximators with respect to L p (μ) performance criteria, for arbitrary finite input environment measures μ.

The Cascade-Correlation Learning Architecture
TL;DR: The Cascade-Correlation architecture has several advantages over existing algorithms: it learns very quickly, the network determines its own size and topology, it retains the structures it has built even if the training set changes, and it requires no back-propagation of error signals through the connections of the network.
