Discovering Prediction Model For Environmental Distribution Maps, Ke Zhang, Huidong Jin, Nianjun Liu, Rob Lesslie, Lei Wang, Zhouyu Fu, Terry Caelli

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Currently environmental distribution maps, such as for soil fertility, rainfall and foliage, are widely used in the natural resource management and policy making. One typical example is to predict the grazing capacity in particular geographical regions. This paper uses a discovering approach to choose a prediction model for real-world environmental data. The approach consists of two steps: (1) model selection which determines the type of prediction model, such as linear or non-linear; (2) model optimisation which aims at using less environmental data for prediction but without any loss on accuracy. The latter step is achieved by automatically selecting non-redundant features …


Contact Element Method With Two Relative Coordinates And Its Application To Prediction Of Strip Profile Of A Sendzimir Mill, Hai-Liang Yu, Xiang-Hua Liu, Gyoo-Taek Lee Jan 2007

Contact Element Method With Two Relative Coordinates And Its Application To Prediction Of Strip Profile Of A Sendzimir Mill, Hai-Liang Yu, Xiang-Hua Liu, Gyoo-Taek Lee

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

A new numerical method, Contact Element Method with Two Relative Coordinates, has been developed. The main features of this method are that element meshing depends on the contact length between rolls or between the work roll and the strip, and that each element has two relative coordinates based on two separate contact objects. With this method, a program code “Setup Models for Sendzimir Mill” (SM4SM) has been developed for prediction of the strip profile of a 20-high Sendzimir mill with double AS-U-Roll systems. The strip profiles are predicted under various rolling conditions, such as the positions of AS-U racks, the …
