Spalling detection via deep transfer network by Wu, Ruida

“…In order to get a better performance in detecting civil infrastructure problem, a method based on deep learning for spalling detection could be developed. Due to the fast development of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, especially in applications of deep learning in computer vision, structural damage recognition could rely on such knowledge because such problem is indeed a repetitive work which requires learning knowledge from past experience. …”

A New Collocation Scheme Using Non-polynomial Basis Functions by Zhang, Chao, Liu, Wenjie, Wang, Li-Lian

“…With a direct inverting the operator, the basis can be pre-computed in a fast and stable manner. This leads to new collocation schemes for general second-order boundary value problems with (i) the matrix corresponding to the operator LλLλ being identity; (ii) well-conditioned linear systems and (iii) exact imposition of various boundary conditions. …”
