in common classical methods of cavity depth estimation through microgravity data, usually when a pre-geometrical model is considered for the cavity shape, the simple geometrical models of sphere, vertical cylinder and horizontal cylinder are commonly used. it is obviously an important fact that in real conditions the shapes of the cavities are not exactly sphere, horizontal cylinder or vertical...

This paper investigates the identification of nonlinear systems by utilizing soft-computing approaches. As the identification methods, Feedforward Neural Network architecture (FNN), Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBFNN), Runge-Kutta Neural Networks (RKNN) and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) based identification mechanisms are studied and their performances are comparative...

This study presents a new method for modeling an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based on vibration for predicting surface roughness in the CNC turning process. The input parameters of the model are insert nose radius, cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and vibration amplitude, which determine the output parameter of the surface roughness. A Gauss type membership function was ...

Affective design is an important aspect of product development to achieve a competitive edge in the marketplace. A neural-fuzzy network approach has been attempted recently to model customer satisfaction for affective design and it has been proved to be an effective one to deal with the fuzziness and non-linearity of the modeling as well as generate explicit customer satisfaction models. Howeve...

This paper describes the fuzzy modeling of permanent magnet generator for studying its mechanical dynamic analysis. Firstly electromagnetic torque analysis of the generator is carried out using finite element based package. Then fuzzy model of the generator is developed. Performance was evaluated by comparing, integrated fuzzy model, individual fuzzy model and finite element model for the gener...

-In this paper, we analyze the impact of extinction ratio (Ron/off) of Mach-Zehnder (MZ) amplitude modulator using Fuzzy logic generator. The system performance has been analyzed by varying the value of extinction ratio (Ron/off) from 0 to 10 dB. It is found that the system gives optimum performance at extinction ratio value 9.965 dB. Further, the fuzzy model of the system is developed using AN...

Though the hi-tech industry has focused on value innovation and improving the quality of the new product development (NPD) process to drive new product performance, new product success has not changed dramatically over the years. This study presents a novel approach based on structural equation modeling (SEM) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to forecast value innovation and the...

The main problem associated with the traditional approach to image classification for the mapping of hydrothermal alteration is that materials not associated with hydrothermal alteration may be erroneously classified as hydrothermally altered due to the similar spectral properties of altered and unaltered minerals. The major objective of this paper is to investigate the potential of a neuro-fuz...

Short term prediction of traffic flow is one of the most essential elements of all proactive traffic control systems. Although various methodologies have been applied to forecast traffic parameters, several researchers have showed that compared with the individual methods, hybrid methods provide more accurate results . These results made the hybrid tools and approaches a more common method for ...
