in this study, 3 models of time-varying parameters (tvp), dynamic model selection (dms) and dynamic model averaging (dma) and a comparison with the ordinary least squares (ols) method in matlab in the time period 2003-2013 (with data on a monthly basis) are discussed. in the present study, the variables of unofficial exchange rate changes, interest rate changes and inflation in oil price foreca...

this paper proposes a new method of gain scheduling control design for a nonlinear system which is described as linear parameter varying form. a performance measure based on linear matrix inequality is introduced. to consider stability and performance measures in design process, the h∞ loop-shaping method is used to design the local controllers, which can be described as state feedback observer...

 In the present paper damped vibrations of non-homogeneous infinite rectangular plate of parabolically varying thickness resting on elastic foundation has been studied. Following Lévy approach, the equation of motion of plate of varying thickness in one direction is solved by quintic spline method. The effect of damping, elastic foundation and taperness is discussed with permissible range of pa...

a critical protection requirement for grid connected distributed generators (dg) is anti-islanding protection. in this paper, a new islanding detection method for any possible network loading is proposed based on utilizing and combining various system parameter indices. in order to secure the detection of islanding, eight intentional disturbances are imposed to the system under study in which t...

This paper describes a method to construct reduced-order models for high dimensional nonlinear systems. It is assumed that the nonlinear system has a collection of equilibrium operating points parameterized by a scheduling parameter. First, a reduced-order linear system is constructed at each equilibrium point using input/output data. This step combines techniques from dynamic mode decompositio...

An analysis has been presented of the effect of elastic foundation and uniform in-plane peripheral loading on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of circular plates of varying thickness exhibiting bi-directional functionally graded characteristics, on the basis of first order shear deformation theory. The material properties of the plate are varying following a power-law in both the radial ...
