In this paper, training of the PINN with an application of optimization techniques is performed on simple one-dimensional mechanical problems of elasticity, namely rods and beams. Different boundary conditions are considered.\u0000Required computer algorithms are implemented using Python programming packages with the intention of creating neural networks. Numerical results are presented, and the efficiency of the proposed technique is investigated through numerical experiments with different numbers of epochs, batches, hidden layers, neurons, and collocation points.\u0000The paper provides useful skills for using a PINN for different problems of solid mechanics. The proposed methodology is a continuation of our intention of using PINNs for problems of the theory of elasticity. The objectives are to present simply the main steps of constructing PINN and an implementation of it. A detailed explanation of the Python programming code, based on the scientific software Tensorflow, built in the Keras library and optimizers, may help compose an effective code for complicated models in mechanics.\u0000PINNs are proposed in many recent publications to solve complicated direct and inverse problems. It seems to be a promising method that will play a central role in the development of computational mechanics in the near future. Nevertheless, the lack of educational material does not help new users to enter this scientific area.

However, MI-EEG signals produced by imagined movements of small limbs present a real classification challenge to be effectively used in BCI systems. It is due to a reduced signal level and increased noisy distorted effects. This study aims to decode individual right-hand fingers’ imagined movements for BCI applications, using MI-EEG signals from C3, Cz, P3, and Pz channels. For this purpose, the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) preprocesses the non-stationary and non-linear EEG signals to finally use a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) to classify corresponding feature sequences. An average accuracy of 98.8 % was achieved for ring-finger movements decoding using k-fold cross-validation on a public dataset (Scientific-Data).

Then we extract the centerline of the binary vascular tree and separate it into different arterial segments. Finally, by extracting the underlying arterial topology, position, and pixel features, we construct a powerful coronary artery segment classifier based on a support vector machine. Each arterial segment is classified into the left coronary artery (LCA), left anterior descending (LAD), and other types of arterial segments. The proposed method was tested on a dataset with 225 ICAs and achieved a mean accuracy of 70.33% for the multi-class artery classification and a mean intersection over union of 0.6868 for semantic segmentation of arteries. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, which provides impressive performance for analyzing the individual arteries in ICAs.","PeriodicalId":335387,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Applied & Computational Mathematics","volume":"21 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120874369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, an uncertainty design optimization method based on evidence theory is proposed, which can consider both interval variables and random variables in the optimization process.

The technological improvements of the fourth industrial revolution have resulted in changes in the connection between physical space and man, known as the cyber physic model, which necessitates monitoring systems to protect the structural branch and so correct this structural vulnerability. Thus, the structural health monitoring system is the exact measure of the evolution required by the cyber physic model in construction and the protection of the monumental buildings, ensuring not only their economic development but also the safety of society. Therefore, this research work presents the innovative proposal of the cyber-physical structural health monitoring system aimed at buildings and skyscrapers, based on and differentiated by intelligent computing techniques, using the negative selection algorithm to perform the analysis and monitoring of structural integrity, overcoming the existing traditional work. The cyber-physical structural health monitoring system will be applied to experimental data obtained from the shear building model that represents these imposing skyscrapers. An artificial immune system will be developed and used in the decision-making process based on the acquisition and processing of the obtained signals to perform the identification, localization, and quantification of possible structural damage. Observing the results, this work proved to be efficient, robust, and economically feasible, having high performance and overcoming the shortcomings of traditional techniques.
