Characteristics of the feedforward neural network
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Input Features | Displacement and strains on longitudinal direction. |
| Target Outputs | Crack width data (top and bottom extreme fibres), strains (on the transverse direction), stresses (on the transverse and longitudinal directions), and displacements (on the transverse and vertical directions). |
| Preprocessing | – Zero values replaced with non-zero means or 1e-3. |
| Data Split | – Training: 60% |
| Network Architecture | – Input Layer: the same size as input features. |
| Optimization | – Optimizer: Adam. |
| Loss Function | Mean Squared Error (MSE). |
| Metrics | Mean Absolute Error (MAE). |
| Training Parameters | – Batch Size: 32. |
| Regularization | – L2 Regularization (1e-4). |
| Evaluation | Final test performance: MSE and MAE metrics. |
