    Assessment of Installed Power for Inclined Belt Conveyors Using Genetic Algorithm and Artificial Neural Networks
    (Konya Teknik Univ, 2022-06-01) Koken, Ekin
    In this study, the installed power (P inst , kW) of several inclined belt conveyors operating in the mining industry of Turkey was investigated through two soft computing algorithms (i.e., genetic expression programming (GEP) and artificial neural networks (ANN)). For this purpose, the most crucial belt (i.e., belt length (L), belt width (W), belt inclination (alpha)), operational (i.e., belt speed (Vb) b ) and throughput (Q)) and infrastructural (belt weight (Wb) b ) and idler weight (Wid)) id )) features of 42 belt conveyors were collected for each investigated belt conveyor. The collected data was transformed into a comprehensive dataset for soft computing analyses. Based on the GEP and ANN analyses, two robust predictive models were proposed to estimate the P inst . The performance of the proposed models was evaluated using several statistical indicators, and the statistical evaluations demonstrated that the models yielded a correlation of determination (R2) 2 ) greater than 0.95. Nevertheless, the ANN-based model has slightly overperformed in predicting the P inst values. In conclusion, the proposed models can be reliably used to estimate the P inst for the investigated conveyor belts. In addition, the mathematical expressions of the proposed models were given in the present study to let users implement them more efficiently.

    Assessment of Bohme Abrasion Value of Natural Stones Through Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)
    (MDPI, 2022-03-30) Strzalkowski, Pawel; Koken, Ekin; Strzałkowski, Paweł
    This present study explored the Bohme abrasion value (BAV) of natural stones through artificial neural networks (ANNs). For this purpose, a detailed literature survey was conducted to collect quantitative data on the BAV of different natural stones from Turkey. As a result of the ANN analyses, several predictive models (M1-M13) were established by using the rock properties, such as the dry density (rho(d)), water absorption by weight (w(a)), Shore hardness value (SHV), pulse wave velocity (V-p), and uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rocks. The performance of the established predictive models was evaluated by using several statistical indicators, and the performance analyses indicated that four of the established models (M1, M5, M10, and M11) could be reliably used to estimate the BAV of natural stones. In addition, explicit mathematical formulations of the proposed ANN models were also introduced in this study to let users implement them more efficiently. In this context, the present study is believed to provide practical and straightforward information on the BAV of natural stones and can be declared a case study on how to model the BAV as a function of different rock properties.
