this paper presents a mathematical model for a flow shop scheduling problem consisting of m machine and n jobs with fuzzy processing times that can be estimated as independent stochastic or fuzzy numbers. in the traditional flow shop scheduling problem, the typical objective is to minimize the makespan). however,, two significant criteria for each schedule in stochastic models are: expectable m...

On time replacement of a cutting tool with a new one is an important task in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS). A fuzzy logic-based approach was used in the present study to predict and simulate the tool wear progress in turning operation. Cutting parameters and cutting forces were considered as the input and the wear rate was regarded as the output data in the fuzzy logic for construct...

in this paper presents a maximum power point tracking (mppt) technique based on the hill climbing search (hcs) method and fuzzy logic system for wind turbines (wts) including of permanent magnet synchronous generator (pmsg) as generator. in the conventional hcs method the step size is constant, therefor both steady-state response and dynamic response of method cannot provide at the same time an...

Images of fuzzy sets under fuzzy relations have been investigated mainly in two contexts: on the one hand, mostly under the term “full image” (Gottwald, 1993), they can be regarded as very general tools for fuzzy inference, leading to the so-called “compositional rule of inference” (Gottwald, 1993; Bauer et al., 1995). The theory of fuzzy relational equations makes direct use of this fundamenta...
