This work proposes a neural-fuzzy sliding mode control scheme for a hydro-turbine speed governor system. Considering the assumption of elastic water hammer, a nonlinear mode of the hydro-turbine governor system is established. By linearizing this mode, a sliding mode controller is designed. The linearized mode is subject to uncertainties. The uncertainties are generated in the process of linear...

In this paper, we use parametric form of fuzzy number and we converta fuzzy linear system to two linear system in crisp case. Conditions for the existence of a minimal solution to $mtimes n$ fuzzy linear equation systems are derived and a numerical procedure for calculating the minimal solution is designed. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the proposed method.

infiltration plays an important role in surface and subsurface hydrology and it is a key factor in the rainfall and runoff equations. the use of new approaches that have no limitations of common theoretical and empirical methods to determine infiltration relationships, will minimize the necessity of time consuming and costly experiments to determine permeability values and will make it possible...

Seismic hazard assessment like many other issues in seismology is a complicated problem, which is due to a variety of parameters affecting the occurrence of an earthquake. Uncertainty, which is a result of vagueness and incompleteness of the data, should be considered in a rational way. Using fuzzy method makes it possible to allow for uncertainties to be considered. Fuzzy inference system,...

An adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system based on interval Gaussian type-2 fuzzy sets in the antecedent part and Gaussian type-1 fuzzy sets as coefficients of linear combination of input variables in the consequent part is presented in this paper. The capability of the proposed method (we named ANFIS2) for function approximation and dynamical system identification is remarkable. The structure o...

In this paper, an adaptive neuro fuzzy sliding mode based genetic algorithm (ANFSGA) controlsystem is proposed for a pH neutralization system. In pH reactors, determination and control of pH isa common problem concerning chemical-based industrial processes due to the non-linearity observedin the titration curve. An ANFSGA control system is designed to overcome the complexity of precisecontrol o...
