The major problems with the conventional neural network, especially Back Propagation Neural Network, arise from the necessity of many training data for neural network learning and ambiguity in the relation of neural network structure to the convergence of solution. In this paper, the PNN is used as a pattern classifier to detect the damage of structure to avoid those drawbacks of the conventional neural network. In the PNN-based pattern classification problems, the probability density function for patterns is usually assumed by Gaussian distribution. But, in this paper, several probability density functions are investigated in order to select the most approriate one for structural damage assessment.

This paper presents a neural network approach to estimate the surface roughness by considering the relationship between the polishing operation parameters and the surface roughness. The neural network model predicts the post-machining surface roughness by using several factors such as pre-machining surface roughness, pressure, feed rate, spindle speed, and the number of polishing as inputs. In this paper, the several neural network models are implemented to estimate the surface roughness by using actual experimental data. The experimental results show that the neural network approach is more appropriate to represent the polishing characteristics of mold and die compared with the results obtained by the approach using exponential function.

This paper proposes a technique for recognizing online handwritten cursive data obtained by tracing a motion trajectory while a user is in the 3D space based on a convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm. There is a difficulty in recognizing the virtual character input by the user in the 3D space because it includes both the character stroke and the movement stroke. In this paper, we divide syllable into consonant and vowel units by using labeling technique in addition to the result of localizing letter stroke and movement stroke in the previous study. The coordinate information of the separated consonants and vowels are converted into image data, and Korean handwriting recognition was performed using a convolutional neural network. After learning the neural network using 1,680 syllables written by five hand writers, the accuracy is calculated by using the new hand writers who did not participate in the writing of training data. The accuracy of phoneme-based recognition is 98.9% based on convolutional neural network. The proposed method has the advantage of drastically reducing learning data compared to syllable-based learning.

The purpose of this thesis is to reduce force ripple of linear pulse motor(LPM) using neural network and to enhance precision. In order to this, we propose a new controller using a neural network to compensate disturbances. The structure includes adaptation block which learns the dynamics of the periodic disturbance and forces the interferences, caused by disturbances. The proposed controller compensates an unmodeled dynamics in the LPM. The neural network changes a current command to reduce position error and force ripple of the LPM. We compare proposed controller with PI controller. Simulation result shows that the proposed controller has better performance than a PI controller without neural network.

This paper describes a lateral guidance system of an autonomous vehicle, using a neural network model of magneto-resistive sensor and magnetic fields. The model equation was compared with experimental sensing data. We found that the experimental result has a negligible difference from the modeling equation result. We verified that the modeling equation can be used in simulations. As the neural network controller acquires magnetic field values(B$\_$x/, B$\_$y/, B$\_$z/) from the three-axis, the controller outputs a steering angle. The controller uses the back-propagation algorithms of neural network. The learning pattern acquisition was obtained using computer simulation, which is more exact than human driving. The simulation program was developed in order to verify the acquisition of the teaming pattern, teaming itself, and the adequacy of the design controller. The performance of the controller can be verified through simulation. The real autonomous electric vehicle using neural network controller verified good results.

This study was conducted to predict the drafts of various tillage tools with a model tool and a neural network. Drafts of tillage tools were measured and a time lagged recurrent neural network was developed. The neural network had a structure to predict dynamic draft, having a function of one step ahead prediction . The results showed the model tool draft had linear relations with high coefficient of determinations to the drafts of the tillage tools. Also, the drafts of tillage tools were successfully predicted by the developed neural network.

Concerning the issue of high-dimensions, hybrid uncertainties of randomness and intervals including implicit and highly nonlinear limit state function, reliability analysis based on the hybrid uncertainty reliability mode combining with back propagation neural network (HU-BP neural network) is proposed in this paper. Random variables and interval variables are as input layer of the neural network, after the training and approximation of the neural network, the response variables are obtained through the output layer. Reliability index is calculated by solving the optimization model of the most probable point (MPP) searching in the limit state band. Two numerical cases are used to demonstrate the method proposed in this paper, and finally the method is employed to solving an engineering problem of the aerospace friction plate. For this high nonlinear, small failure probability problem with interval variables, this method could achieve a good analysis result.

Long-term runoff model can be used to establish the effective plan of water reources allocation and the determination of the storage capacity of reservoir. So this study aims at the development of monthly runoff model using artificial neural network technique.

Conventional expert systems has been criticized due to its lack of capability to adapt to the changing decision-making environments. In literature, many methods have been proposed to make expert systems more environment-adaptive by incorporating fuzzy logic and neural networks. The objective of this paper is to propose a new approach to building a self-evolving expert system inference mechanism by integrating fuzzy neural network and fuzzy rule extraction technique. The main recipe of our proposed approach is to fuzzify the training data, train them by a fuzzy neural network, extract a set of fuzzy rules from the trained network, organize a knowledge base, and refine the fuzzy rules by applying a pruning algorithm when the decision-making environments are detected to be changed significantly. To prove the validity, we tested our proposed self-evolving expert systems inference mechanism by using the bankruptcy data, and compared its results with the conventional neural network. Non-parametric statistical analysis of the experimental results showed that our proposed approach is valid significantly.
