a new dynamic friction model for modeling of elliptical vibration assisted turning (evat) was developed in this research. the periodic change of the friction force direction is known to be one of the most important causes of this phenomenon. in modeling of machining processes (including the evat process), static coulomb friction model was employed by most of the researchers. because of the peri...

introduction: the development of an appropriate model for the quality control of an industrial wastewater treatment system can save the time as well as the cost. this study was performed to determine an appropriate model in order to predict the cod and tkn parameters by bod5 and nh4+ in the meybod industrial estate waste water treatment plant (wwtp). methods: this descriptive – analytical study...

in the present study, the energetic and economic modeling of lentil and chickpea production in esfahan province of iran was conducted using adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) and linear regression. data were taken by interviewing and visiting of 140 lentil farms and 110 chickpea farms during 2014-2015 production period. the results showed that the yield and total energy consumption w...

this paper describes a simple, physically-based conceptual model utilizing watershed drainage characteristics for rainfall-runoff simulation. this conceptual physiographic model is essentially based on the work of najafi (2003), which has led to a model compris-ing the main tributary subwatersheds and a single main channel subwatershed. the ki-nematic wave (kw) theory is used to describe flow o...

Nowadays, demand response programs (DRPs) play an important role in price reduction and reliability improvement. In this paper, an optimal integrated model for the emergency demand response program (EDRP) and dynamic economic emission dispatch (DEED) problem has been developed. Customer’s behavior is modeled based on the price elasticity matrix (PEM) by which the level of DRP is determined for ...

The choice network revenue management model incorporates customer purchase behavior as a function of the offered products, and is the appropriate model for airline and hotel network revenue management, dynamic sales of bundles, and dynamic assortment optimization. The optimization problem is a stochastic dynamic program and is intractable, and a linear program approximation called choice determ...

This paper looks at a new method of modelling non-l inear dynamic processes, using grid-type Sugeno fuzzy models and a priori knowledge. The proposed hybrid fuzzy convolution dynamic model consists of a non-linear fuzzy steady-state static, and a gain-independent impulse response model-based dynamic part. The modelling of non-linear pH processes is chosen as a realistic case study for the demon...

in this paper the optimal design of a dissipator made of aluminium and steel and principallysubjected to shear forces and the preliminary results of the characterization tests are described.the device has been designed on the basis of an optimization procedure with the objective tomaximize the energy dissipated in the device. the response of a 3d frame equipped with thedevice and subjected to 7...

this paper presents a methodology for design of instrumentation sensor networks in non-linear chemical plants. the method utilizes a robust extended kalman filter approach to provide an efficient dynamic data reconciliation. a weighted objective function has been introduced to enable the designer to incorporate each individual process variable with its own operational importance. to enhance the...
