Abstract
In this paper efficient neural networks are trained for design
of double layer grids. Square oblique-on-oblique grids with
spans varying between 25 and 75 meters are considered.
Backpropagation algorithm is employed for training efficient
neural networks for evaluation of the maximum deflection,
weight, and design of double layer grids. A special method is
developed for data ordering to reduce the nonlinearity of the
data and to increase the speed of training. This approach
also provides the necessary stability. Additional neural nets
are trained and tested for design of grids using the developed
data ordering.
