Mine Blast Algorithm (MBA) is newly developed metaheuristic technique. It has outperformed Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and their variants when solving various engineering optimization problems. MBA has been improved by IMBA, which is modified in this paper to accelerate its convergence speed furthermore. The proposed variant, so called Accelerated MBA (AMBA), repla...

A supervisory Adaptive Network‐based Fuzzy Inference System (SANFIS) is proposed for the empirical control of a mobile robot. This controller includes an ANFIS controller and a supervisory controller. The ANFIS controller is off‐line tuned by an adaptive fuzzy inference system, the supervisory controller is designed to compensate for the approximation error bet...

28 Facing fierce competition in marketplaces, companies try to determine the optimal settings of design 29 attribute of new products from which the best customer satisfaction can be obtained. To determine 30 the settings, customer satisfaction models relating affective responses of customers to design attributes 31 have to be first developed. Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) was a...

Peak ground acceleration (PGA) plays an important role in assessing effects of earthquakes on the built environment, persons, and the natural environment. It is a basic parameter of seismic wave motion based on which earthquake resistant building design and construction are made. The level of damage is, among other factors, directly proportional to the severity of the ground acceleration, and i...

This paper presents an approach for modeling and prediction of both surface roughness and cutting zone temperature in turning of AISI304 austenitic stainless steel using multi-layer coated (TiCN+TiC+TiCN+TiN) tungsten carbide tools. The proposed approach is based on an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) with particle swarm optimization (PSO) learning. AISI304 stainless steel bars are...

This paper analyses the operation of an adaptive neurofuzzy inference system (ANFIS)-based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for solar photovoltaic (SPV) energy generation system. The MPPT works on the principle of adjusting the voltage of the SPV modules by changing the duty ratio of the Quasi-zsource inverter. The duty ratio of the inverter is calculated for a given solar irradiance and tem...

This paper presents sensorless rotor position estimation of Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) where the position is to be determined by Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The rotor position sensing is very essential for the SRM for its efficient operation. Previously rotor position sensors are used to estimate the position of rotor for SRM. Due to its drawback the sensors have to be r...
