Abstract: This paper investigates the use of a learning-based approach of Adaptive Dynamic Programming (ADP) on a highly nonlinear four-bar mechanism which uses simple initial evaluation of nonlinear ...

State-of-the-art techniques for pavement performance evaluation have attracted considerable attention in recent years. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) can simulate the human brain to discover hidden ...

Abstract: Under the basic frame of evolution computations (EA) and the kernel idea of Nelder-Mead simplex method, a novel evolution algorithm (EA), namely the two dimensions simplex EA (2D-simplexEA), ...
