In the contractual business, construction firms are generally more concerned with short-term financial strategies than the longterm ones. Working capital management is the central issue of all short-term financial concerns. Thus, it’s urgent to study the cash portion of working capital management to rationalize the amount of cash and current assets possessed in certain time. The S-curve is quit...

This paper presents a new approach for stability analysis of Takagi-Sugeno (TS) models. The analysis considers information derived from existing or induced order relations among the membership functions. Partitioning of the state-space and the use of piecewise Lyapunov functions (PWLF) arise naturally as a consequence of induced order relations. Conditions under the novel approach can be expres...

This paper presents a Takagi-Sugeno (TS) synchronous generator unit model intended for application in an autotuning power system stabilizer. The model takes into account all three process variables that can affect synchronous machine dynamics regarding stability beside usually used active and reactive power (P and Q) it includes also line reactance (xm). It is shown that the proposed model give...

A novel optimal method is developed to improve the identification and estimation of Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model. The idea comes from the fact that the main drawback of T-S model is that it can not be applied when the membership functions are overlapped by pairs. This limits the application of the T-S model because this type of membership function has been widely used in the stability and con...

A large class of dynamic systems can be decomposed into or approximated by cascaded subsystems. Applications include multi-agent systems, distributed process control, and hierarchical large-scale systems. Nonlinear dynamic systems can be represented as Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models, with linear or affine consequents. For cascaded TS systems, it has been proven that the stability of the subsys...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a fuzzy model based indirect adaptive control scheme for a class of nonlinear systems with a dead-zone. The Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model is used for representing a nonlinear system, where the parameters of the fuzzy model are updated online according to Lyapunov stability theorem. An inverse functions are cascaded with the plant to cancel the effects of dea...

Childhood autism is one of the most common developmental disorders in children, whose disabilities generally tend to follow through adulthood. The therapy given to an autistic child depends on its accurate assessment, which is a challenging clinical decision making problem. This paper describes the application of functional fuzzy model in autism assessment support systems. The fuzzy model uses ...

A large class of nonlinear systems can be well approximated by Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models, for which methods and algorithms have been developed to analyze their stability and to design observers and controllers. However, results obtained for Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models are in general not directly applicable to the original nonlinear system. In this paper, we investigate what conclusions can be d...

A Fick’s model that includes a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model to estimate the effective diffusivity was analyzed. The modelling of drying kinetics on mango trough this diffusional-fuzzy model was compared with the theoretical Fick’s model and the empirical Peleg and Weibull models. The identification and validation was performed from experimental drying curves of ripe mango slices (Mangifera indica ...
