3 Soft Computing Soft computing methods are inspired by the computing and problem solving strategies in nature. They Are fundamentally different than the mathematically based problem solving methods. Soft computing tools are neural networks, genetic algorithm and fuzzy logic.

4 Problem Solving in Nature Nature solves very difficult inverse problems. Nature does not use mathematics. Two main components of nature s problem solving strategies are: Learning Reduction in disorder Nature utilizes random search and gradual improvement.

5 Forward Problems

6 Inverse Problems Type 1. Input is unknown Type 2. System is unknown

7 Inverse Problem of Constitutive Modeling Material Test

8 Inverse Problem of Constitutive Modeling from Field Measurements In many geotechnical problems it is too difficult to sample or perform realistic material tests. Often field measurements are available.

9 Autoprogressive Algorithm

10 Autoprogressive Algorithm Structure is modeled by FE and constitutive model is represented by a NN. Pre-train NN material model to learn linearly elastic constitutive behavior Apply boundary forces: apply P n, compute U n P = P + P n n 1 n KδU = P I j j 1 t n n n U = U + δu j j 1 j n n n σn = σnnn( εn,... :...) Enforce boundary displacements Train Neural Networks δun = Un + Un ( σ + δσ ) = ΝΝ(( ε + δε ),... :...) n n n n σ = σ NN(( ε + δε ),... :...) n n n n

68 Concluding Remarks Most of the difficult engineering problems are inverse problems. Very effective methods can be developed for solving these inverse problems by learning from nature s problem solving strategies. Neural networks, genetic algorithm and fuzzy logic enable development of these methods. Soft computing methods use nature s strategies of reduction in disorder and learning.

69 Concluding Remarks Soft computing methods are fundamentally different from the conventional mathematically based methods. Soft computing methods operate with Imprecision tolerance Non-universality Functional non-uniqueness.
