controller design remains an elusive and challenging problem foruncertain nonlinear dynamics. interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems (it2fls) incomparison with type-1 fuzzy logic systems claim to effectively handle systemuncertainties especially in the presence of disturbances and noises, but lack aformal mechanism to guarantee performance. in contrast, adaptive sliding modecontrol (asmc) provides...

A system is built to serve a common purpose of an organization or a network; it usually consists of a set of operations, interfaces for inputs and outputs, and a group of users with direct or indirect interactions. Systems exist in nature as well as in virtually any conceivable area of human society (Dori, 2003). We are surrounded by systems which undergo changes over time and experience some s...

We describe a new platform for system dynamics modeling that supports detailed and object oriented modeling while preserving attractive features of existing tools, including a completely declarative language with a graphical representation. New concepts supporting this platform include collections of entities, attributes, relationships, aggregation and allocation functions, and actions, which a...

Standard textbook economic theory quite generally assumes the neoclassical economic model, which is a static model of unregulated free markets. Every western government in our era believes implicitly in a free market with “springs,” where imbalances are only of short-term nature. The model postulates the nonempirical idea of utility and assumes stable equilibrium, a notion that goes back over t...

Although DEA is a powerful method in evaluating DMUs, it does have some limitations. One of the limitations of this method is the result of the evaluation is based on previously data and the results are not proper for forecasting the future changes. So For this purpose, we design feedback loops for forecasting inputs and outputs through system dynamics and simulation. Then we use DEA model to f...

In this paper, a dual system consisting of two 5 DOF (RRRRR) robot manipulators is considered as a cooperative robotic system used to manipulate a rigid payload on a desired trajectory between two desired initial and end positions/orientations. The forward and inverse kinematic problems are first solved for the dual arm system. Then, dynamics of the system and the relations between forces/momen...

One of the main milestones in the study of opto-mechanical system is to increase the sensitivity of weak forces measurement up to the standard quantum limit. We have studied the detection of weak force under a bistable condition in red detuned regime. In this case, dynamics of the system behaves asymptotically similar to stationary state and applying external force affects phase and fluctuation...

In this paper, a robust local controller has been designed to balance the power for distributed energy resources (DERs) in an islanded microgrid. Three different DER types are considered in this study; photovoltaic systems, battery energy storage systems, and synchronous generators. Since DER dynamics are nonlinear and uncertain, which may destabilize the power system or decrease the performanc...
