Prediction of buckling damage of steel equal angle structural members using hybrid machine learning techniques by Nang Xuan Ho, Tien-Thinh Le, The-Hung Dinh, Van-Hai Nguyen

“…For this purpose, a database concerning compression tests of steel equal angle structural members was constructed from available resources with geometry variables such as length, width, thickness, mechanical properties of materials such as yield strength and initial imperfections (i.e. residual peak stress and initial geometric imperfections) and critical buckling load of columns. The hybrid PSOANN model was adopted because its prediction capability is higher than the traditional technique – i.e. scaled conjugate gradient (SCG). …”

A Comparative Study of Hybrid Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems to Predict the Unconfined Compressive Strength of Rocks by Annabelle Graham, Emma Scott

“…In this study, the application of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) investigate as a cost-efficient and reliable approach to predict UCS from Bulk Density (BD), Bulk Tensile Strength (BTS), dry density (DD) test, p-wave velocity test (Vp), Schmidt hammer rebound number (SRn), and point load index test (Is(50)). ANFIS excels in effortlessly amalgamating expert knowledge using linguistic rules and empirical data, thus enhancing model interpretability and transparency, qualities profoundly esteemed in the geosciences. …”

Fluid-structure interaction analysis for abdominal aortic aneurysms: the role of multi-layered tissue architecture and intraluminal thrombus by Xinhai Yue, Jiayi Huang, Ju Liu

“…Using fluid-structure interaction, we analyze the biomechanical responses of fusiform and saccular AAAs under three conditions: without ILT, with ILT but no tissue degradation, and with both ILT and tissue degradation.ResultsThe findings show that the media is the primary load-bearing layer, and the multi-layered model yields a more accurate stress profile than the single-layered tissue model. …”
