A New Evaluation Approach to Mechanical Kinematic Concept Using Fuzzy Neural Network

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, BP network is applied to structure multi-level evaluation model to implement evaluation for the kinematic concepts acquired by function analysis. Under this approach, the best concept can be selected once evaluation indicators of each candidate are fuzzily quantified, converted into evaluation attribute value, and fed into the trained network model. During the process, neural network is used to solve the bottle-neck problem of knowledge acquiring and expression, which can be viewed as knowledge base and reasoning engine for the evaluation. At the same time, it is effective in solving the problem of weight distribution in evaluation indicator system. Fuzzy logic is used to achieve the fuzzy quantization for the attribute value of evaluation indicator in evaluation system, which can be used as the I/O value for neural network.
