in this paper, optimal distributed control of the time-dependent navier-stokes equations is considered. the control problem involves the minimization of a measure of the distance between the velocity field and a given target velocity field. a mixed numerical method involving a quasi-newton algorithm, a novel calculation of the gradients and an inhomogeneous navier-stokes solver, to find the opt...

in this paper an approach based on evolutionary algorithms to find pareto optimal pair of state and control for multi-objective optimal control problems (moocp)'s is introduced‎. ‎in this approach‎, ‎first a discretized form of the time-control space is considered and then‎, ‎a piecewise linear control and a piecewise linear trajectory are obtained from the discretized time-control space using ...

the current paper proposes a technique for the numerical solution of linear control systems.the method is based on galerkin method, which uses the interpolating scaling functions. fora highly accurate connection between functions and their derivatives, an operational matrix forthe derivatives is established to reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations. several testproblems are given, a...

tunnelling through cities underlain by soft soil, commonly associated with soil movement around the tunnels and subsequent surface settlement. the predication of ground movement during the tunnelling and optimum support pressure could be based on analytical, empirical or the numerical methods. the commonly used earth pressure balance (epb) tunneling machines, uses the excavated soil in a pressu...

This paper presents a comprehensive virtual simulation model for CNC systems. The Virtual CNC (VCNC) has a modular architecture, allowing a real CNC to be prototyped quickly from standard library functions for feed drive models, feedback devices, axis control laws, and trajectory interpolation. Additional CNC modules can easily be prototyped and integrated to the VCNC by the user. Various appli...
