چکیده

INTRODUCTION There is a large class of problems that are at best poorly solved. These problems involve the transformation of data across the boundary between the real world and the digital world. And they occur whenever a computer is sampling and/or acting on real world data. Examples of these “boundary transformation” problems include the computer recognition of human speech, computer vision, textual and image content recognition, robot control, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Automatic Target Recognition, etc. These are difficult problems to solve on a computer, since they require the computer to find complex structures and relationships in massive quantities of low precision, ambiguous, noisy data. “Boundary transformations” are also very important. Our inability to adequately solve these problems constitutes a significant barrier to computer usage,

Design of an Adaptive-Neural Network Attitude Controller of a Satellite using Reaction Wheels

In this paper, an adaptive attitude control algorithm is developed based on neural network for a satellite using four reaction wheels in a tetrahedron configuration. Then, an attitude control based on feedback linearization control is designed and uncertainties in the moment of inertia matrix and disturbances torque have been considered. In order to eliminate the effect of these uncertainties, ...

Potential impact of global warming on river runoff coming to Jor reservoir, Malaysia by integration of LARS-WG with artificial neural networks

Background: Changes in temperature and precipitation pattern seriously affect the amount of river runoff coming into Dam Lake. These changes could influence the operating conditions of reservoir systems such as Jor hydropower reservoir system (Malaysia) with the total capacity of 150 MW. So, it is necessary to analyze the effect of changes in weather parameters on the river runoff and consequen...

Experimental and finite-element free vibration analysis and artificial neural network based on multi-crack diagnosis of non-uniform cross-section beam

Crack identification is a very important issue in mechanical systems, because it is a damage that if develops may cause catastrophic failure. In the first part of this research, modal analysis of a multi-cracked variable cross-section beam is done using finite element method. Then, the obtained results are validated usingthe results of experimental modal analysis tests. In the next part, a nove...
