...Y.S. Kim; H.I. Park Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the feasibility of committee neural network (CNN) theory for the improvement of accuracy and consistency of the neural network model on the estimation of preconsolidation pressure from the field piezocone measurements. Design...

...Emmanuel Blanchard; Adrian Sandu; Corina Sandu Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a new computational approach for parameter estimation in the Bayesian framework. A posteriori probability density functions are obtained using the polynomial chaos theory for propagating...

...Oleg Michailovich; Allen Tannenbaum Purpose This paper seeks to develop a reliable and computationally efficient method for estimating and predicting large‐amplitude optical flows via taking into consideration their coherence along the time dimension. Design/methodology/approach Although...

...D. Roy Mahapatra; S. Suresh; S.N. Omkar; S. Gopalakrishnan Purpose To develop a new method for estimation of damage configuration in composite laminate structure using acoustic wave propagation signal and a reduction‐prediction neural network to deal with high dimensional spectral data. Design...

...Peng Li; Calvin Lee; Brian Corner Purpose To explore three‐dimensional scanning technology in capturing the shape of inflated parachutes for accurate estimation of surface area and volume. Design/methodology/approach The volume and surface area of an inflated round parachute are important...
