Abstract
Rockburst intensity prediction is one of the basic works of underground engineering disaster prevention and mitigation. Considering the dynamic variability and fuzziness in rockburst intensity prediction, variable fuzzy sets (VFS) are selected for evaluation and prediction. Here, there are two problems in the application of traditional VFS: (i) the relative membership degree (RMD) calculation process is complex and time-consuming, and the RMD matrix of all indexes can be only obtained by using the RMD function repeatedly; (ii) unreasonable weights of indicators have great impact on the synthetic relative membership degree (SRMD), so it is difficult to guarantee the correctness of the final prediction result. In view of the above problem, this paper established three simplified feature relationship expressions of RMD based on VFS principle and used the SRMD function to establish a BP neural network model to optimize SRMD. The improved VFS method is more efficient and the prediction results are more stable and reliable than the traditional VFS method. The main advantages are as follows: (1) the improved VFS method has higher computational efficiency; (2) the improved VFS method can verify the correctness of RMD at all times; (3) the improved VFS method has higher prediction accuracy; and (4) the improved VFS method has higher fault tolerance and practicability.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
