Abstract
In this paper, a new constructive auto-associative neural network performing nonlinear principal component analysis is presented. The developed constructive neural network maps the data nonlinearly into its principal components and preserves the order of principal components at the same time. The weights of the neural network are trained by a combination of Back Propagation (BP) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) which accelerates the training process by preventing local minima. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated by means of two different experiments that illustrated its efficiency. ©2007 IEEE

Abstract
In this study, a neural network (NN) modeling approach has been used to predict the mechanical and geometrical behaviors of mouse embryo cells. Two NN models have been implemented. In the first NN model dimple depth (w), dimple radius (a) and radius of the semi-circular curved surface of the cell (R) were used as inputs of the model while indentation force (f) was considered as output. In the second NN model, indentation force (f), dimple radius (a) and radius of the semi-circular curved surface of the cell (R) were considered as inputs of the model and dimple depth was predicted as the output of the model. In addition, sensitivity analysis has been carried out to investigate the influence...

Abstract
Neural Networks (FFNNs) that are trained with the Levenberg-Marquardt back-propagation algorithm were used. Models were evaluated using mean squared error (MSE) and coefficient of determination (R2) as statistical performance parameters. In traffic noise modelling, the noise level at a receptor position due to the source of traffic emission is modelled as a function of the traffic conditions, road gradient, road dimensions, speed and height of buildings around the road. The curse of dimensionality problems is caused by the large number of input variables in the ANN model. The Hybrid Genetic Algorithm-Gamma Test (GA-GT) as a data pre-processing method for determining adequate model inputs was...

Abstract
Mechanical failures in most cases originate from the exterior layers of the components. It is considerably effective to apply methods and treatments capable to improve the mechanical properties on component’s surface. Surface nanocrystallization produced by severe plastic deformation (SPD) processes such as severe shot peening (SSP) is increasingly considered in the recent years. However, artificial intelligence systems such as artificial neural network (ANN) as an efficient approach instead of costly and time consuming experiments is widely employed to predict and optimize the science and engineering problems in the last decade. In the present study the application of ANN in predicting of...

Abstract
Blur identification is one important part of image restoration process. Linear motion blur is one of the most common degradation functions that corrupts images. Since 1976, many researchers tried to estimate motion blur parameters and this problem is solved in noise free images but in noisy images improvement can be done when image SNR is low. In this paper we have proposed a method to estimate motion blur parameters such as direction and length using Radon transform and Feed-Forward back propagation neural network for noisy images. To design the desired neural network, we used Weierstrass approximation theorem and Steifel reference Sets. The experimental results showed algorithm precision...

Development of a Real-Time Heuristic Algorithm to Integrate Inertial and Celestial Navigation Systems
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Nobahari, Hadi (Supervisor) ; GhanbarpourAsl, Habib (Supervisor)
Abstract
Unscented kalman filter is able to integrate strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) and celestial navigation system (CNS) and estimate current attitude and gyro drift precisely. However, initial attitude error, accelerometer bias and attitude error caused by gyro drift prior to CNS setting to work may cause large errors in velocity and position. So a novel method is presented for compensating these errors. The proposed method implements Fixed-interval smoothing to the integrated system. The procedure of filtering, smoothing and accelerometer bias estimation has been explained in details. The validity of the designed method has been proved through a simulation which admits the capability...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ghaemi Osgouie, Kambiz (Supervisor) ; Khayyat, Amir Ali Akbar (Supervisor)
Abstract
The investigation of the behavior of structures subjected to various kinds of loadings is of considerable importance. In this research, an attempt was made to analyze behavior of beams that a load is moving on them.Most of the existing relevant works in this field are dealt with examination of elastic beams with constant section, while in most cases beams with variable sections are used in order to have the optimum structure and appropriate stress distribution and to maximize strength to weight or cost ratio. While construct analysis is very advantageous, it is very difficult due to the complexities arising from the variable sections. But this design is so advantageous that it dominates...

, Article Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering ; Vol. 228, issue. 10 , 2014 , pp. 1702-1712 ; ISSN: 09544100 ; Ghanbarpour Asl, H ; Abtahi, S. F ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
This article aims to compensate the velocity and position errors that exist when the star sensor starts to work in a strapdown inertial navigation system aided by celestial navigation. These systems are integrated via unscented Kalman filter to estimate the current attitude and the gyros fixed bias, precisely. Since an accurate integration is desired, the nonlinear attitude equations are utilized in filter and these equations are propagated through a precise discretization method. Then, implementing the back-propagation and smoothing techniques, the initial attitude and the accelerometers fixed bias are also estimated. Finally, carrying out a parallel navigation, the velocity and position...

, Article IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science ; Vol. 61, issue. 4 , August , 2014 , p. 2383-2391 ; Ghofrani, M. B ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
This study introduces a novel identification method for recognition of nuclear power plants (NPPs) transients by combining the autoregressive integrated moving-average (ARIMA) model and the neural network with error back-propagation (EBP) learning algorithm. The proposed method consists of three steps. First, an EBP based identifier is adopted to distinguish the plant normal states from the faulty ones. In the second step, ARIMA models use integrated (I) process to convert non-stationary data of the selected variables into stationary ones. Subsequently, ARIMA processes, including autoregressive (AR), moving-average (MA), or autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) are used to forecast time...

Abstract
In this work the effects of backwash pressure, duration of acid and sodium hydroxide backwashing, sodium hydroxide concentration, and the duration of forward washing on performance of permeate flux recovery (PFR) were investigated. A two-level fractional factorial design (FFD) was used to design the experiments. The ability of back propagation neural network (BPNN) and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) in predicting the performance of cleaning-in-place (CIP) of hydrophilic polyethersulfone (PES) membrane were investigated. It is found that BPNN has better ability in predicting the PFR performance than RBFNN. The best architecture of BPNN was a network consisting of 1 hidden layer...

Abstract
In this work, an optimum multilayer perceptron neural network is developed to model the correlation between hot working parameters (temperature, strain rate and strain) and flow stress of IN625 alloy. Three variations of standard back propagation algorithm (Broyden, Fletcher, Goldfarb and Shanno quasi-Newton, Levenberg-Marquardt and Bayesian) are applied to train the model. The results show that, in this case, the best performance, minimum error and shortest converging time are achieved by the Levenberg-Marquardt training algorithm. Comparing the predicted values and the experimental values reveals that a well trained network is capable of accurately calculating the flow stress of the alloy...

Abstract
In the event of a BLEVE, the overpressure wave can cause important effects over a certain area. Several thermodynamic assumptions have been proposed as the basis for developing methodologies to predict both the mechanical energy associated to such a wave and the peak overpressure. According to a recent comparative analysis, methods based on real gas behavior and adiabatic irreversible expansion assumptions can give a good estimation of this energy. In this communication, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach has been implemented to predict the BLEVE mechanical energy for the case of propane and butane. Temperature and vessel filling degree at failure have been considered as input...

Abstract
The phenomenon of the hydraulic jump is so complex that despite considerable laboratory and prototype studies, estimation of its main characteristics in a generalized and accurate form is still difficult. The Artificial Neural Network (ANN) approach aims at limiting the needs for costly and time-consuming experiments. In this study, two ANN models, multi-layer perceptron using back propagation algorithm (MLP/BP) and radial basis function using orthogonal least-squares algorithm (RBF/OLS), were used to predict the roller length, sequent depth, and the relative energy loss of the B-jump. Based on a pre-specified range of jump parameters, the input vectors include: upstream bed slope (tan θ),...
