A Performance Investigation of Different ANFIS Parameters On Screw Withdrawal Strength Virtual Laboratory Tests

Abstract

Today’s computer technology offers large amount usage of virtual environment possibilities to us. By the usage of advanced computer technologies’ skills, mankind improved their life styles and can easily supply their demands. Certainly, the usage of this technology affects also educational systems and its instruments. Especially, students and researchers can easily get the data from the virtual environment and of course researchers and scientists can share data as well. This study is to investigate the advantages of computer technologies in the field of virtual laboratory usage that is important component of educational system. In this paper, screw withdrawal strength test was used to point out the usage of virtual laboratory. The method of study based on the testing data of a particleboard screw holding ability, which was obtained under various testing conditions. These testing conditions and the results of tests were used as an input and output data for creating correlations in Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). Half of the inputs and outputs were used for training, the others used for virtual testing. Finally, obtained data were evaluated with the point of average training and testing errors, and questioned the role in architectural education.
