Artificial Neural Network Method for Solution of Boundary Value Problems With Exact Satisfaction of Arbitrary Boundary Conditions
Kevin McFall,J. R. Mahan +1 more
TL;DR: The approximate ANN solution automatically satisfies BCs at all stages of training, including before training commences, due to its unconstrained nature and because automatic satisfaction of Dirichlet BCs provides a good starting approximate solution for significant portions of the domain.

Artificial Neural Networks in Radiation Heat Transfer Analysis
TL;DR: In this article, Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) have been used to estimate the radiation distribution factor matrices and their subsequent use in radiation heat transfer calculations, without the need to perform a new ray trace for each value of emissivity.
Automated design parameter selection for neural networks solving coupled partial differential equations with discontinuities
TL;DR: An automated design parameter selection process is developed to choose a single ANN from an ensemble comprising numerous combinations of design parameters and random starting weights and biases, which provides low error solutions for the three different thermal-fluid science example problems explored, including the Navier–Stokes equations.

Design, Analysis, Experimentation, and Control of a Partially Compliant Bistable Mechanism
TL;DR: This study presents the design analysis and development of a novel partially compliant bistable mechanism, which consists of initially straight, large deflecting fixed-pinned compliant links, rigid links, and a sliding mass and realizes the realization and dynamic response of the mechanism and the trajectory control of the slider.
