in this paper, finding dynamic load carrying capacity (dlcc) of flexible link manipulators in point to-point motion was formulated as an optimal control problem. the finite element method was employed for modelling and deriving the dynamic equations of the system. the study employed indirect solution of optimal control for system motion planning. due to offline nature of the method, many diffic...

In this paper, with the aim of estimating internal dynamics matrix of a gimbaled Inertial Navigation system (as a discrete Linear system), the discretetime Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation for optimal control has been extracted. Heuristic Dynamic Programming algorithm (HDP) for solving equation has been presented and then a neural network approximation for cost function and control input ...

this paper describes an advantageous method for using the capacitor banks in the distribution network, optimally. the aim is to determine the count, location and capacitor values in order to minimize the annual cost resulting from energy losses and capacitor bank’s installation cost. besides, in the case of having nonlinear loads in the network, by installing capacitors in appropriate locations...

introduction: epilepsy is a clinical syndrome in which seizures have a tendency to recur. sodium valproate is the most effective drug in the treatment of all types of generalized seizures. finding the optimal dosage (the lowest effective dose) of sodium valproate is a real challenge to all neurologists. in this study, a new approach based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) was pre...

The optimal path planning of cooperative manipulators is studied in the present research. Optimal Control Theory is employed to calculate the optimal path of each joint choosing an appropriate index of the system to be minimized and taking the kinematics equations as the constraints. The formulation has been derived using Pontryagin Minimum Principle and results in a Two Point Boundary Value Pr...
