Paper presents role of fuzzy modeling in heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) and control models. HVAC design professionals are required to evaluate numerous design alternatives and properly justify their final conceptual selection through modeling. This trend, coupled with the knowledge of experienced designers, increasing complexity of the systems, unwillingness to commit addition...

Spend your time even for only few minutes to read a book. Reading a book will never reduce and waste your time to be useless. Reading, for some people become a need that is to do every day such as spending time for eating. Now, what about you? Do you like to read a book? Now, we will show you a new book enPDFd data engineering fuzzy mathematics in systems theory and data analysis that can be a ...

Fuzzy sets theory has proven over the years to be a valuable tool for modeling uncertainty in engineering. It is used extensively in control, in expert systems and in rule-based models. However, applications to sensitivity analysis and regression are still few, mainly because there is no appropriate software available. A C++ library of objects has been developed to easily and efficiently introd...

This paper presents an outlook on the perspectives of applying fuzzy logic techniques in traffic and transportation systems analysis and control. To this end, the theoretical and methodological principles of the fuzzy logic approach are outlined. An overview is given of the fuzzy logic applications in the transportation and traffic-engineering field, especially in the areas of estimation and pr...

The Chamshir water conveyance tunnel (CWCT) with a length of 7.4 km and boring diameter of 5.3 m is excavated using a refurbished single shield TBM, initially designed to work in hard rock formations. This study focuses on engineering geological issues, which are important for checking the suitability of this machine and proposing required modifications for improving its performance in soft roc...

Since many real-world engineering systems are too complex to be defined in precise terms, imprecision is often involved in any engineering design process. Fuzzy linear programming problems have an essential role in fuzzy modeling, which can formulate uncertainty in actual environment. One of the most practicable subjects in recent studies is based on LR fuzzy number, which was defined and used ...

rndetermination of rock mass deformation modulus is very important in different projects, especially in civil and mining engineering works. in-situ measurements such as dilatometer, plate load and flat jack methods may be applied to determine the deformation modulus. however, these methods are very expensive and time- consuming. analytical methods are very useful approaches which can also be us...

Rock mass classification is analogous to multi-feature pattern recognition problem. The objective is to assign a rock mass to one of the pre-defined classes using a given set of criteria. This process involves a number of subjective uncertainties stemming from: (a) qualitative (linguistic) criteria; (b) sharp class boundaries; (c) fixed rating (or weight) scales; and (d) variable input reliabil...

Linear systems have important applications to many branches of science and engineering. In many applications, at least some of the parameters of the system are represented by fuzzy rather than crisp numbers. So it is immensely important to develop numerical procedures that would appropriately treat general fuzzy linear systems and solve them. In this paper, householder decomposition method for ...

In this research, the relationship between P-wave velocity (Vp) and Electrical Resistivity (ER) parameters with rock mass quality indices is investigated; parameters such as rock mass quality classification (Q) and modified system for sedimentary rocks, known as Qsrm. For making predictive models, about 1200 data-sets extracted from sections drilled in Seymareh and Karun 2 Dam Sites (SDS and KD...
