The development of Neural-network (NN) technology stemmed from the desire to create an artificial system that could perform "intelligent" tasks similar to those performed by the human brain. In this paper the performance of NN to the structural optimization concept of frame structure is presented. The optimum set of frame designs is obtained using Finite Element (FE) software where stress and displacement constraints has been chosen as the optimum criteria. The optimized data then used to train the NN through Back Propagation Neural-network technique (BPNN) to identify the capability of this strategy to predict the exact data. Three case studies were performed with different complexity of structural configuration. Result indicates the Neural-network capable of predicting the exact solution with proper training but this ability depends on the complexity of the frame structural optimization itself.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
