in this paper, a consistent pattern with the optimal coordinated design of pss and sssc controller to improve the damping of low frequency oscillations is shown. in this design, sensing and signal transmission time delays are considered as effectiveness parameters. the design problem has been considered an optimization problem and biogeography-based optimization (bbo) algorithm is used for sear...

Hybrid control system composed of a base isolation system and a magneto-rheological damper so-called smart base isolation is one of effective semi-active control system in controlling the seismic response of structures. In this paper, a design method is proposed for designing the smart base isolation system in order to achieve an effective performance under multiple earthquakes. The base mass, ...

Micron-wood-fiber molded products are new kinds of high strength man-made wooden products. They are innovative products among molded fiber products nowadays. This paper studied a new method to design their screw joints using optimal design. It has combined the optimal design with reliability design ingeniously. The CAD programming method was put forward, which can optimize the structural parame...

When the number of data used for an identification experiment is small, the data contain transient effects and these effects contribute to the accuracy of the identified model. Consequently, when designing the optimal input signal for an identification experiment in the case of small data set, these transient effects have to be taken into account. In this paper, we present a methodology for opt...
