the purpose of this paper is to studying nonlinear k-ε turbulence models and its advantages in internal combustion engines, since the standard k-ε model is incapable of representing the anisotropy of turbulence intensities and fails to express the reynolds stresses adequately in rotating flows. therefore, this model is not only incapable of expressing the anisotropy of turbulence in an engine c...

in this paper, optimum location of power system stabilizers in order to damp inter-area oscillations has been investigated by using modal series method. nonlinear effects grow in dynamical behaviors of heavily loaded stressed power systems significantly. hence linear based methods and techniques no longer present clear and exact response of the systems. in this article by defining new nonlinear...

Modeling and analysis of future prices has been hot topic for economic analysts in recent years. Traditionally, the complex movements in the prices are usually taken as random or stochastic process. However, they may be produced by a deterministic nonlinear process. Accuracy and efficiency of economic models in the short period forecasting is strategic and crucial for business world. Nonlinear ...

A new approach for pole placement of nonlinear systems using state feedback and fuzzy system is proposed. We use a new online fuzzy training method to identify and to obtain a fuzzy model for the unknown nonlinear system using only the system input and output. Then, we linearized this identified model at each sampling time to have an approximate linear time varying system. In order to stabilize...

in this paper, an adaptive fuzzy control scheme is proposed for a class of perturbed strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown discrete and distributed time-varying delays, and the proposed design method does not require a priori knowledge of the signs of the control gains.based on the backstepping technique, the adaptive fuzzy controller is constructed. the main contributions of the paper...

the proposal lateral load pattern for pushover analysis is given in two forms for symmetric concrete buildings: 1-(x/h)0.5 for low-rise and mid-rise buildings, 2- sin(πx/h) for high-rise buildings. these two forms give more realistic results as compared to conventional load patterns such as triangular and uniform load patterns. the assumed buildings of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 30 story concrete bui...

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 ...
