Abstract

In the rapidly developing field of smart cities, accurately predicting weather conditions plays a vital role in various sectors, including industry, tourism, agriculture, social planning, architecture, and economic development. Unfortunately, the instruments used (such as pyranometers, barometers, and thermometers) often suffer from low accuracy, high computational costs, and a lack of robustness. This limitation affects the reliability of weather predictions and their application across these critical areas. This study proposes artificial neural network-multilayer perceptrons (ANN-MLPs). A dataset of 480 data points was used, with 80% allocated for the training phase, 10% for the validation phase, and 10% for the testing phase. The best results were obtained with the structure 6-17-1 (6 inputs, 17 hidden neurons, and 1 output neuron) to predict weather condition data in the Ghardaïa district. Weather conditions parameters include air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and cumulative precipitation. Results showed that the most relevant input factors are, in order of importance: earth-sun distance (DT-S) with a relative importance (RI) of 31.10%, factor conversion (d) with an RI of 26.05%, and solar radiation (SR) with an RI of 16.26%. The contribution of the elevation of the sun (HI) has an RI of 13.29%. The optimal configuration includes seventeen neurons in the hidden layer with a logistic sigmoid activation function and a Levenberg–Marquardt learning algorithm, resulting in a root mean square error (RMSE) of 3.3043% and a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.9683. The proposed model can predict both short- and long-term climate factors such as solar radiation, air temperature, and wind energy in areas with similar conditions.

Abstract

The demand for robotic systems employing composite materials is steadily improving due to their high bending stiffness, favorable strength-to-weight ratio, and durability under dynamic loading. It is still challenging to guarantee dynamic stability and precise frequency response in composite robotic components. This study addresses these issues by conducting a simulation-based 3D bending analysis and frequency response modeling of carbon/epoxy and carbon/PPS composites under sinusoidal loading. The remarkable mechanical and thermal properties of carbon/epoxy and carbon/PPS composites, such as their high specific strength, stiffness, and excellent fatigue resistance, align well with the requirements of robotic systems. The model comparison involved analyzing three-dimensional bending stresses, displacements, and free vibration dynamics for both materials under a sinusoidal load applied to their inner surfaces. The sinusoidal load was selected to simulate periodic dynamic forces commonly encountered in robotic applications, such as oscillating arms, vibrating components, and cyclic loading during operation. The thick shell (S=4) of axial length (L=4S) and circumferential span (α=45°) comprises cross-ply laminate [90°/0°/90°] with supported boundary conditions. The transverse displacement of the carbon PPS composite cylindrical shell was 0.719 nm, which was lower than that of the carbon epoxy composite (0.746 nm). The same behavior was observed for the stress values. Conversely, the PPS composite cylindrical shell yielded a higher natural frequency. The obtained eigenvalues indicated a similar behavior when comparing the shape modes with a relative increase in their values in the carbon PPS composite.
