In this article, the process of representing modelling uncertainties, record to record （RTR） variations and cognitive uncertainties for moment resisting steel frames of various heights is discussed in detail. RTR uncertainty is used by incremental dynamic analysis （IDA）, modelling uncertainties are considered through backbone curves and hysteresis loops of component, and cognitive uncertainty is presented in three levels of material quality. IDA is used to evaluate RTR uncertainty based on strong ground motion records selected by the k-means algorithm, which is favoured over Monte Carlo selection due to its time saving appeal. Analytical equations of the Response Surface Method are obtained through IDA results by the Cuckoo algorithm, which predicts the mean and standard deviation of the collapse fragility curve. The Takagi-Sugeno-Kang model is used to represent material quality based on the response surface coefficients. Finally, collapse fragility curves with the various sources of uncertainties mentioned are derived through a large number of material quality values and meta variables inferred by the Takagi-Sugeno-Kang fuzzy model based on response surface method coefficients. It is concluded that a better risk management strategy in countries where material quality control is weak, is to account for cognitive uncertainties in fragility curves and the mean annual frequency.展开更多

文摘Open caissons are widely used in foundation engineering because of their load-bearing efficiency and adaptability in diverse soil conditions.However,accurately predicting their undrained bearing capacity in layered soils remains a complex challenge.This study presents a novel application of five ensemble machine(ML)algorithms-random forest(RF),gradient boosting machine(GBM),extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),adaptive boosting(AdaBoost),and categorical boosting(CatBoost)-to predict the undrained bearing capacity factor(Nc)of circular open caissons embedded in two-layered clay on the basis of results from finite element limit analysis(FELA).The input dataset consists of 1188 numerical simulations using the Tresca failure criterion,varying in geometrical and soil parameters.The FELA was performed via OptumG2 software with adaptive meshing techniques and verified against existing benchmark studies.The ML models were trained on 70% of the dataset and tested on the remaining 30%.Their performance was evaluated using six statistical metrics:coefficient of determination(R²),mean absolute error(MAE),root mean squared error(RMSE),index of scatter(IOS),RMSE-to-standard deviation ratio(RSR),and variance explained factor(VAF).The results indicate that all the models achieved high accuracy,with R²values exceeding 97.6%and RMSE values below 0.02.Among them,AdaBoost and CatBoost consistently outperformed the other methods across both the training and testing datasets,demonstrating superior generalizability and robustness.The proposed ML framework offers an efficient,accurate,and data-driven alternative to traditional methods for estimating caisson capacity in stratified soils.This approach can aid in reducing computational costs while improving reliability in the early stages of foundation design.
文摘It is one of the topics that have been studied extensively on maximum power point tracking(MPPT)recently.Traditional or soft computing methods are used for MPPT.Since soft computing approaches are more effective than traditional approaches,studies on MPPT have shifted in this direction.This study aims comparison of performance of seven meta-heuristic training algorithms in the neuro-fuzzy training for MPPT.The meta-heuristic training algorithms used are particle swarm optimization(PSO),harmony search(HS),cuckoo search(CS),artificial bee colony(ABC)algorithm,bee algorithm(BA),differential evolution(DE)and flower pollination algorithm(FPA).The antecedent and conclusion parameters of neuro-fuzzy are determined by these algorithms.The data of a 250 W photovoltaic(PV)is used in the applications.For effective MPPT,different neuro-fuzzy structures,different membership functions and different control parameter values are evaluated in detail.Related training algorithms are compared in terms of solution quality and convergence speed.The strengths and weaknesses of these algorithms are revealed.It is seen that the type and number of membership function,colony size,number of generations affect the solution quality and convergence speed of the training algorithms.As a result,it has been observed that CS and ABC algorithm are more effective than other algorithms in terms of solution quality and convergence in solving the related problem.
文摘The word“spatial”fundamentally relates to human existence,evolution,and activity in terrestrial and even celestial spaces.After reviewing the spatial features of many areas,the paper describes basics of high level model and technology called Spatial Grasp for dealing with large distributed systems,which can provide spatial vision,awareness,management,control,and even consciousness.The technology description includes its key Spatial Grasp Language(SGL),self-evolution of recursive SGL scenarios,and implementation of SGL interpreter converting distributed networked systems into powerful spatial engines.Examples of typical spatial scenarios in SGL include finding shortest path tree and shortest path between network nodes,collecting proper information throughout the whole world,elimination of multiple targets by intelligent teams of chasers,and withstanding cyber attacks in distributed networked systems.Also this paper compares Spatial Grasp model with traditional algorithms,confirming universality of the former for any spatial systems,while the latter just tools for concrete applications.
文摘Soil swelling-related disaster is considered as one of the most devastating geo-hazards in modern history.Hence,proper determination of a soil’s ability to expand is very vital for achieving a secure and safe ground for infrastructures.Accordingly,this study has provided a novel and intelligent approach that enables an improved estimation of swelling by using kernelised machines(Bayesian linear regression(BLR)&bayes point machine(BPM)support vector machine(SVM)and deep-support vector machine(D-SVM));(multiple linear regressor(REG),logistic regressor(LR)and artificial neural network(ANN)),tree-based algorithms such as decision forest(RDF)&boosted trees(BDT).Also,and for the first time,meta-heuristic classifiers incorporating the techniques of voting(VE)and stacking(SE)were utilised.Different independent scenarios of explanatory features’combination that influence soil behaviour in swelling were investigated.Preliminary results indicated BLR as possessing the highest amount of deviation from the predictor variable(the actual swell-strain).REG and BLR performed slightly better than ANN while the meta-heuristic learners(VE and SE)produced the best overall performance(greatest R2 value of 0.94 and RMSE of 0.06%exhibited by VE).CEC,plasticity index and moisture content were the features considered to have the highest level of importance.Kernelized binary classifiers(SVM,D-SVM and BPM)gave better accuracy(average accuracy and recall rate of 0.93 and 0.60)compared to ANN,LR and RDF.Sensitivity-driven diagnostic test indicated that the meta-heuristic models’best performance occurred when ML training was conducted using k-fold validation technique.Finally,it is recommended that the concepts developed herein be deployed during the preliminary phases of a geotechnical or geological site characterisation by using the best performing meta-heuristic models via their background coding resource.
文摘Quantum computing offers unprecedented computational power, enabling simultaneous computations beyond traditional computers. Quantum computers differ significantly from classical computers, necessitating a distinct approach to algorithm design, which involves taming quantum mechanical phenomena. This paper extends the numbering of computable programs to be applied in the quantum computing context. Numbering computable programs is a theoretical computer science concept that assigns unique numbers to individual programs or algorithms. Common methods include Gödel numbering which encodes programs as strings of symbols or characters, often used in formal systems and mathematical logic. Based on the proposed numbering approach, this paper presents a mechanism to explore the set of possible quantum algorithms. The proposed approach is able to construct useful circuits such as Quantum Key Distribution BB84 protocol, which enables sender and receiver to establish a secure cryptographic key via a quantum channel. The proposed approach facilitates the process of exploring and constructing quantum algorithms.
文摘This study evaluates the undrained uplift capacity of open-caisson anchors embedded in anisotropic clay using Finite Element Limit Analysis(FELA)and a hybrid machine learning framework.The FELA simulations inves-tigate the influence of the radius ratio(R/B),anisotropic ratio(re),interface roughness factor(α),and inclination angle(β).Specifically,the results reveal that increasingβsignificantly enhances Nc,especially as soil behavior approaches isotropy.Higherαimproves resistance at steeper inclinations by mobilizing greater interface shear.Nc increases with re,reflecting enhanced strength under isotropic conditions.To enhance predictive accuracy and generalization,a hybrid machine learning model was developed by integrating Extreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost)with Genetic Algorithm(GA)and Mutation-Based Genetic Algorithm(MGA)for hyperparameter tuning.Among the models,MGA-XGBoost outperformed GA-XGBoost,achieving higher predictive accuracy(R^(2)=0.996 training,0.993 testing).Furthermore,SHAP analysis consistently identified anisotropic ratio(re)as the most influential factor in predicting uplift capacity,followed by interface roughness factor(α),inclination angle(β),and radius ratio(R/B).The proposed framework serves as a scalable decision-support tool adaptable to various soil types and foundation geometries,offering a more efficient and data-driven approach to uplift-resistant design in anisotropic cohesive soils.

文摘The application of machine learning was investigated for predicting end-point temperature in the basic oxygen furnace steelmaking process,addressing gaps in the field,particularly large-scale dataset sizes and the underutilization of boosting algorithms.Utilizing a substantial dataset containing over 20,000 heats,significantly bigger than those in previous studies,a comprehensive evaluation of five advanced machine learning models was conducted.These include four ensemble learning algorithms:XGBoost,LightGBM,CatBoost(three boosting algorithms),along with random forest(a bagging algorithm),as well as a neural network model,namely the multilayer perceptron.Our comparative analysis reveals that Bayesian-optimized boosting models demonstrate exceptional robustness and accuracy,achieving the highest R-squared values,the lowest root mean square error,and lowest mean absolute error,along with the best hit ratio.CatBoost exhibited superior performance,with its test R-squared improving by 4.2%compared to that of the random forest and by 0.8%compared to that of the multilayer perceptron.This highlights the efficacy of boosting algorithms in refining complex industrial processes.Additionally,our investigation into the impact of varying dataset sizes,ranging from 500 to 20,000 heats,on model accuracy underscores the importance of leveraging larger-scale datasets to improve the accuracy and stability of predictive models.

文摘This study proposes a novel time-synchronization protocol inspired by stochastic gradient algorithms.The clock model of each network node in this synchronizer is configured as a generic adaptive filter where different stochastic gradient algorithms can be adopted for adaptive clock frequency adjustments.The study analyzes the pairwise synchronization behavior of the protocol and proves the generalized convergence of the synchronization error and clock frequency.A novel closed-form expression is also derived for a generalized asymptotic error variance steady state.Steady and convergence analyses are then presented for the synchronization,with frequency adaptations done using least mean square(LMS),the Newton search,the gradient descent(GraDes),the normalized LMS(N-LMS),and the Sign-Data LMS algorithms.Results obtained from real-time experiments showed a better performance of our protocols as compared to the Average Proportional-Integral Synchronization Protocol(AvgPISync)regarding the impact of quantization error on synchronization accuracy,precision,and convergence time.This generalized approach to time synchronization allows flexibility in selecting a suitable protocol for different wireless sensor network applications.

文摘In recent years,the development of new types of nuclear reactors,such as transportable,marine,and space reactors,has presented new challenges for the optimization of reactor radiation-shielding design.Shielding structures typically need to be lightweight,miniaturized,and radiation-protected,which is a multi-parameter and multi-objective optimization problem.The conventional multi-objective(two or three objectives)optimization method for radiation-shielding design exhibits limitations for a number of optimization objectives and variable parameters,as well as a deficiency in achieving a global optimal solution,thereby failing to meet the requirements of shielding optimization for newly developed reactors.In this study,genetic and artificial bee-colony algorithms are combined with a reference-point-selection strategy and applied to the many-objective(having four or more objectives)optimal design of reactor radiation shielding.To validate the reliability of the methods,an optimization simulation is conducted on three-dimensional shielding structures and another complicated shielding-optimization problem.The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms outperform conventional shielding-design methods in terms of optimization performance,and they exhibit their reliability in practical engineering problems.The many-objective optimization algorithms developed in this study are proven to efficiently and consistently search for Pareto-front shielding schemes.Therefore,the algorithms proposed in this study offer novel insights into improving the shielding-design performance and shielding quality of new reactor types.
