Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInput-Output Feedback Linearization Cascade Controller Using Genetic Algorithm for Rotary Inverted Pendulum SystemIraj Hassanzadeh, Saleh Mobayen, Abbas HarifiThe Rotary Inverted Pendulum (RIP) system is a significant classical problem of control engineering which has been investigated in the past decades. This study presents an optimum Input- Output Feedback Linearization (IOFL) cascade controller utilized Genetic Algorithm (GA). Due to the non-minimum phase behavior of the system, IOFL controller leads to unstable internal dynamics. Therefore a cascade structure is proposed … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,414 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Cost Estimation Model for Repair Bridges Based on Artificial Neural NetworkMohamed Bouabaz, Mounir HamamiEstimating the total cost of bridges repair and maintenance with high accuracy is an important components, and points to a need for a cost estimation model. This paper focuses on the development of a more accurate estimation model for repair and maintenance of bridges in developing countries using artificial neural networks. Cost and design data for two categories of repair … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,300 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of Pile- Soil Interaction Subjected to Lateral Loads in Layered SoilsA. Avaei, Abdoul R. Ghotbi, M. AryafarTo stabilize infrastructures such as tall buildings, bridges, etc., piles are used to resist lateral loads created from earth pressure, wind, waves and earthquake extensively. Pile design requires understanding of how the load is transferred from a pile to surrounding soil and vice versa. Pile properties, soil stress-strain behavior and pile-soil interaction play important roles in pile-response subjected to lateral … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of some by-Products using In situ and In vitro Gas Production TechniquesBesharati Maghsoud, Taghizadeh Akbar, Janmohammadi Hossein, Moghadam Gholam AliFood by-products in Iran are produced in high levels. In this study, in situ and in vitro gas production techniques were used to describe nutritive value of apple pomace, tomato pomace and noodle waste. For this purpose two ruminal fistulated sheep were used. Nylon bags which were approximately (6×12 cm) containing 5 g samples (2 mm screen) were incubated in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,949 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Sorghum Density As Affected By Two Water Qualities Under Drip Irrigation SystemB.A. Ould Ahmed, T. Yamamoto, M. Inoue, H. DehghanisanijPot experiment was conducted under glasshouse conditions during 2005 at the Arid Land Research Center, Tottori University in Tottori, Japan. The study presented here was aimed to evaluating the response of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench), density under two different water qualities. The investigation was carried out in randomized complete block design experiments located in a plastic greenhouse. Crop growth … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,552 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStability Analysis and Stability Chart for Unsaturated Residual Soil SlopeBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj. Ali, R. S.K. RajooIn tropical residual soils most hill slope failures are caused by rainfall. It is therefore important to consider dynamic hydrological conditions when attempting to analyze the stability of residual soil slopes. This paper describes a coupled hydrology/stability model that has been developed to overcome the limitations of the standard method of analysis used to investigate stability of tropical soil slopes. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,329 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDamping of Generator Oscillations Using an Adaptive UPFC-based ControllerD. Nazarpour, S. H. Hosseini, G. B. GharehpetianIn this study a UPFC-based non-linear adaptive controller is proposed and designed to damp generator oscillations. The adaptive controller design is based on determination of control signal using a new linear quadratic pole placement control law and identification of power system parameters with recursive least squares method with adaptive directional forgetting factor. A new model of UPFC has been introduced … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Analysis of Pressure Pulses in the Jerk Fuel Injection SystemsR. A. Baker, T. FirozComputer software has been developed and described in the present study of thorough parametric analysis and design of a mechanical diesel fuel injection system. The method is based on the numerical solution of one dimensional, unsteady, incompressible flow equations through the fuel pipe along with appropriate initial condition, pump end boundary condition and nozzle end boundary condition. Method of characteristics … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 5 · 31 May 2005 · 7,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Modeling of Wastewater Oxidation under Microgravity ConditionsBoyun Guo, Donald W. Holder, David S. SchechterVolatile removal assembly (VRA) is a module installed in the International Space Station for removing contaminants (volatile organics) in the wastewater produced by the crew. The VRA contains a slim pack bed reactor to perform catalyst oxidation of the wastewater at elevated pressure and temperature under microgravity conditions. Optimal design of the reactor requires a thorough understanding about how the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,891 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Simple Scheme for Improved Performance of Fixed Outage Rate Cellular SystemHussein M.Aziz Basi, M. B.R. MurthyThe traffic characteristic of mobile cellular systems is rather distinct from that of a fixed telephone network. However the system planning and design are still carried out with the tools of conventional traffic theory. In the recent days much work is being done in the performance evaluation of mobile or cellular communication systems in order to develop a system with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
