In the several past years, Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) havebecame basic algorithm for state-variables and parameters estimation of discrete nonlinear systems.The UKF has consistently outperformed for estimation. Sometimes least estimation error doesn't yieldwith UKF for the most nonlinear systems. In this paper, we use a new approach for a two variablestate no...

In this paper a novel method is proposed for construction of an exponential observer for nonlinear system. The presented method is based on direct solution of dynamic error without any linearzing of nonlinear terms. Necessary and sufficient conditions for construction of direct observer are presented. Stability of the observer is checked using Lyapunov theorem. Also the ability of this observer...

In this investigation, attempts have been made to solve two-dimension nonlinear viscous flow between slowly expanding or contracting walls with weak permeability by utilizing a semi analytical Akbari Ganji's Method (AGM). As regard to previous papers, solving of nonlinear equations is difficult and the results are not accurate. This new approach is emerged after comparing the achieved solutions...

This paper develops a computational model for nonlinear bending analysis of functionally graded (FG) plates using a four-node quadrilateral element SQ4T within the context of the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT). In particular, the construction of the nonlinear geometric equations are based on Total Lagrangian approach in which the motion at the present state compared with the initia...

In this study, nonlinear vibration of a composite cable is investigated by considering nonlinear stress-strain relations. The composite cable is composed of an aluminum wire as reinforcement and a rubber coating as matrix. The nonlinear governing equations of motion are derived about to an initial curve and based on the fundamentals of continuum mechanics and the nonlinear Green-Lagrangian stra...

This paper presents a theoretical approach to implementation of the “Multi-realization of nonlinear MIMO systems”. This method aims to find state-variable realization for a set of systems, sharing as many parameters as possible. In this paper a special nonlinear multi-realization problem, namely the multi-realization of feedback linearizable nonlinear systems is considered and an algorithm for ...

this study presents the effects of project uncertainties on nonlinear time-cost tradeoff (tct) profile of real life engineering projects by the fusion of fuzzy logic and artificial neural network (ann) models with hybrid meta-heuristic (hmh) technique, abridged as fuzzy-ann-hmh. nonlinear time-cost relationship of project activities is dealt with ann models. ann models are then integrated with ...

while significant advances have been made on the blast analysis, applications of nonlinear analysis of structures under explosion have been limited to the frames and structural behavior of bridges subjected to blast is an issue that has attracted attention of researchers in recent years. nonlinear dynamic analysis can be lead to the most accurate responses of the structure under blast but the u...

In this paper, a new analytical approach has been presented for solving strongly nonlinear oscillator problems. Iteration perturbation method leads us to high accurate solution. Two different high nonlinear examples are also presented to show the application and accuracy of the presented method. The results are compared with analytical methods and with the numerical solution using Runge-Kutta m...
