Popis: The aim of the present study is to develop a series of artificial neural networks (ANN) and to determine, by comparison to experiments, which type of neural network is able to predict the measured structural deformations most accurately. For this approach, three different ANNs are proposed. Firstly, the classical form of an ANN in the form of a feedforward neural network (FFNN). In the second approach a new modular radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is proposed and the third network consists of a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). By means of comparative calculations between neural network enhanced numerical predictions and measurements, the applicability of each type of network is studied.
