A feed-forwarded neural network-based variational Bayesian learning approach for forensic analysis of traffic accident

In this work, a variational Bayesian learning-based computation algorithm is developed to “inversely” identify the deformation field of a crashed car and hence their residual strain fields based on its final damaged structural configuration (wreckage), which is important in three-dimensional traffic...
