in many manufacturing processes, the quality of a product is characterized by a non-linear relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. using nonlinear regression for monitoring nonlinear profiles have been proposed in the literature of profile monitoring which is faced with two problems 1) the distribution of regression coefficients in small samples is unkno...

we consider an approximation scheme using haar wavelets for solving a class of infinite horizon optimal control problems (ocp's) of nonlinear interconnected large-scale dynamic systems. a computational method based on haar wavelets in the time-domain is proposed for solving the optimal control problem. haar wavelets integral operational matrix and direct collocation method are utilized to ...

degenerate kernel approximation method is generalized to solve hammerstein system of fredholm integral equations of the second kind. this method approximates the system of integral equations by constructing degenerate kernel approximations and then the problem is reduced to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. convergence analysis is investigated and on some test problems, the propo...

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...

a comprehensive study on the structural, electronic and nonlinear optical (nlo) properties of alumina nanostructures (al2o3)n with n = 2-5 belonging to the groups iii and vi dopants carried out by density functional theory. the nbo charges exhibit dopant atoms caused to the increasing charge transfer and introduces acceptor-donor model for nlo response of alumina nanostructures. under the influ...

the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of vierendeel panel width and vertical truss spacing ratio in an inelastic behavior of the stf system due to earthquake loads. the stf system is applied to a six-storey building that serves as apartments [2]. the stf system is used in the building in the transverse direction (n-s direction), while in the longitudinal direction (w-e direction)...

the nonlinear static procedures (nsps) proposed by design codes do not lead to reliable results especially for tall buildings. they generally provide inconsistent estimates of inelastic seismic demands, especially for the top floors due to their inabilities in considering the higher modes effects. in this paper, a new enhanced pushover procedure is proposed which is based on the envelope of the...

in this article the nonlinear mixed volterra-fredholm integral equations are investigated by means of the modied three-dimensional block-pulse functions (m3d-bfs). this method converts the nonlinear mixed volterra-fredholm integral equations into a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. the illustrative   examples are provided to demonstrate the applicability and simplicity of our   scheme.

duffing harmonic oscillator is a common model for nonlinear phenomena in science and engineering. this paper presents he´s energy balance method (ebm) for solving nonlinear differential equations. two strong nonlinear cases have been studied analytically. analytical results of the ebm are compared with the solutions obtained by using he´s frequency amplitude formulation (faf) and numerical solu...

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...
