in this research, an innovative numerical simulating approach for time domain analysis of multi degrees of freedom structures with uncertainty in dynamic properties is presented. a full scale finite element model of multi-story and multi bays of three sample structures has been constructed. the reduced order model of structure with holding the dominant and effective gramians in the balanced sta...

this study proposes a combination of a fuzzy sliding mode controller (fsmc) with integral-proportion-derivative switching surface based superconducting magnetic energy storage (smes) and pid tuned by a multi-objective optimization algorithm to solve the load frequency control in power systems. the goal of design is to improve the dynamic response of power systems after load demand changes. in t...

Evolutionary algorithms have been recognized to be suitable for extracting approximate solutions of multi-objective problems because of their capability to evolve a set of non-dominated solutions distributed along the Pareto frontier‎. ‎This paper applies an evolutionary optimization scheme‎, ‎inspired by Multi-objective Invasive Weed Optimization (MOIWO) and Non-dominated Sorting (NS) strategi...

control chart is the most well-known chart to monitor the number of nonconformities per inspection unit where each sample consists of constant size. generally, the design of a control chart requires determination of sample size, sampling interval, and control limits width. optimally selecting these parameters depends on several process parameters, which have been considered from statistical and...

Integrated modelling of the urban wastewater system has received increasing attention in recent years and it has been clearly demonstrated, at least at a theoretical level, that system performance can be enhanced through optimized, integrated control. However, most research to date has focused on simple, single objective control. This paper proposes consideration of multiple objectives to more ...

Multi-stage modeling provides powerful tools to study optimal switches between different technologies. In most of the related literature, however, it is assumed that the number of switches is a-priori fixed. In the present paper we allow for multiple optimally determined switches. Consequently, we are able to locate solution paths that not only lead to different long-run outcomes but also diffe...
