In this article, a hybrid neural network (a combination of multi-layer perceptron algorithm and particle swarm optimization method) is developed for the prediction of normalized ultimate load and deflection.Abstract:
This study evaluates an innovative reinforcement method for cold-formed steel (CFS) upright sections through finite element assessment as well as prediction of the normalized ultimate load and deflection of the profiles by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques. Following the previous experimental studies, several CFS upright profiles with different lengths, thicknesses and reinforcement spacings are modeled and analyzed under flexural loading. The finite element method (FEM) is employed to evaluate the proposed reinforcement method in different upright sections and to provide a valid database for the analytical study. To detect the most influential factor on flexural strength, the “feature selection” method is performed on the FEM results. Then, by using the feature selection method, a hybrid neural network (a combination of multi-layer perceptron algorithm and particle swarm optimization method) is developed for the prediction of normalized ultimate load. The correlation coefficient (R), root mean square error (RMSE), Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and Wilmot’s index of agreement (WI) are used as the measure of precision. The results show that the geometrical parameters have almost the same contribution in the flexural capacity and deflection of the specimens. According to the performance evaluation indexes, the best model is detected and optimized by tuning other algorithm parameters. The results indicate that the hybrid neural network can successfully predict the normalized ultimate load and deflection.read more
