The Machine Learning as an Expert System

Submitted by Ajit R. Jadhav on

1.

To cut a somewhat long story short, I think that I can ``see'' that Machine Learning (including Deep Learning) can actually be regarded as a rules-based expert system, albeit of a special kind.

I am sure that people must have written articles expressing this view. However, simple googling didn’t get me to any useful material.

I would deeply appreciate it if someone could please point out references in this direction. Thanks in advance.

As part of this meeting we are organizing Symposium 7.4 on “Mechanics of Electrochemically Active Materials”. The deadline for abstract submission is April 30

When to use equation of state models in modeling high velocity impacts?

Submitted by rctron on

Equation of state models (Mie-Gruneisen equation of state etc) have been widely used to study hydrodynamic response of material during explosive deformation, ballistic impacts for a long time. As far as I understand, a hydrodynamic response is required to be incorporated in a model if the pressure of impact leads to an increase volumetric strength. That is the stress wave speed in the material exceeds the speed of sound in the material (v = sqrt(elastic modulus/density)).  Ballistic impacts occur at strain rates close to 10^9 to 10^12/s.
