Stripper columns are used for sweetening crude oil, and they must hold product hydrogen sulfide content as near the set points as possible in the faces of upsets. Since product    quality cannot be measured easily and economically online, the control of product quality is often achieved by maintaining a suitable tray temperature near its set point. Tray temperature control method, however, is n...

This paper introduces a complete framework of Modified Adaptive Fuzzy Inference Engine (MAFIE) and its application. The fuzzy with hybridization schemes has become of research interest in versatile applications over the past decade. The fuzzy hybridizations models are quite popular among practitioners or researchers in various advanced promising fields to help solve problems with a small number...

this paper introduces an indirect adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller as a power system stabilizer for damping local and inter-area modes of oscillations of multi-machine power systems. this controller is designed based on the combination of sliding mode controller and the fuzzy logic systems. the fuzzy systems are used to approximate the unknown functions of power system model. generator sp...

In this paper, an adaptive control method for hybrid position/force control of robot manipulators, based on neuro-fuzzy modeling, is presented. Since the force control involves applying certain amount of force on the surface of an object, it is important to consider the friction force between the end-effector and the surface into account. In order to compensate this friction force, a robust and...

Abstract: This paper adresses the problem of fault estimation for continuous-time TakagiSugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with interval time varying delay. The approach is based on a fuzzy Adaptive Fault Diagnostic Observer (AFDO). By considering an appropriate Lyapunov function, less conservative linear-matrix-inequality (LMI) conditions for the existence of the fault estimator are proposed. Furtherm...

the problem of hypothesis testing with a nuisance parameter is considered. two methods forusing fuzzy knowledge on the nuisance parameter to test hypotheses are suggested. these methods areneither a pure classical nor a pure bayesian approach to hypothesis testing, but rather related to both. afew known examples and their applications, which cannot be studied by the parametric statisticalmethod...

This paper considers the problem of the robot motion control in a presence of the major uncertainties such as the varying load. The proposed adaptive fuzzy system (FLS) is employed to estimate dynamic influence of the varying load and also the major part of the mechanism dynamics. Carefully designed membership functions and rules preserve the interpretability of FLS as each rule works toward es...

Systems containing uncertainty are traditionally analyzed with probabilistic methods. However, for non-linear, non-Gaussian systems solutions can sometimes be very di4cult to obtain. The focus of this work is to determine if in such cases fuzzy dynamic system models may provide an alternative approach that more easily leads us to a good solution. In this paper, we present a fuzzy estimator whos...
