Article Citation - Scopus: 3Estimation of Deformation Modulus of Coals Using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)(Szechenyi Istvan University, 2022-05-29) Köken, E.In this study, the Young modulus (E) of different coals was investigated using artificial neural networks (ANN). For this purpose, a comprehensive literature survey was carried out to compile such datasets available for the ANN analyses. As a result of the literature survey, a database composed of 81 datasets was formed. In the ANN analyses, uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and dry density (ρ<inf>d</inf>) of coals were adopted as input parameters. The ANN analysis results demonstrated that the predictive model established in this study could be reliably used to estimate the E for different coals. The correlation of determination value (R2) for the developed model is 0.85, which shows its relative success. In this context, this study can be declared a case study showing the applicability of ANN for the evaluation of E for a wide range of coal types. However, the number of samples and independent variables should be increased to obtain more comprehensive models in future studies. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 9Assessment of Deformation Properties of CoAl Measure Sandstones Through Regression Analyses and Artificial Neural Networks(Polska Akad Nauk, Polish Acad Sciences, 2023-07-24) Koken, EkinThe deformation properties of rocks play a crucial role in handling most geomechanical problems. However, the determination of these properties in laboratory is costly and necessitates special equipment. Therefore, many attempts were made to estimate these properties using different techniques. In this study, various statistical and soft computing methods were employed to predict the tangential Young Modulus (Eti, GPa) and tangential Poisson's Ratio (vti) of coal measure sandstones located in Zonguldak Hardcoal Basin (ZHB), NW Turkey. Predictive models were established based on various regression and artificial neural network (ANN) analyses, including physicomechanical, mineralogical, and textural properties of rocks. The analysis results showed that the mineralogical features such as the contents of quartz (Q, %) and lithic fragment (LF, %) and the textural features (i.e., average grain size, d50, and sorting coefficient, Sc) have remarkable impacts on deformation properties of the investigated sandstones. By comparison with these features, the mineralogical effects seem to be more effective in predicting the Eti and vti. The performance of the established models was assessed using several statistical indicators. The predicted results from the proposed models were compared to one another. It was concluded that the empirical models based on the ANN were found to be the most convenient tools for evaluating the deformational properties of the investigated sandstones.
