Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeart Rate Variability Analysis in Different Age and Pathological ConditionsM.E.S. Chelladurai, N. KumaravelProblem statement: Heart Rate Variability (HRV) has been used as a measure of mortality primarily with patients who had undergone cardiac surgery. The analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) demands specific capabilities which are not provided either by parametric or nonparametric conventional estimation methods. The Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) adaptively estimates the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) of nonlinear nonstationary signals. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 4 Aug 2011 · 6,822 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Controllers for Permanent Magnet Brushless DC Motor Drive System using Adaptive-Network-based Fuzzy Interference SystemV.M. Varatharaju, Badrilal Mathur, UdhayakumarProblem statement: The tuning methodology for the parameters of adaptive speed controller causes a transient deviation of the response from the set reference following variation in load torque in a permanent-magnet brushless DC (BLDC) motor drive system. Approach: This study develops a mathematical model of the BLDC drive system, firstly. Secondly, discusses a design of the closed loop drive system … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 19 Jul 2011 · 6,948 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFault Reconstruction Using Sliding Mode ObserversK. Hakiki, B. Mazari, A. Liazid, S. DjaberIn this study, a nonlinear sliding observer is proposed to explicitly reconstruct fault signals. The novelty lies in the application of the equivalent output injection concept. Previous work in the area of fault detection has used disruption of the sliding motion to detect faults. The aim of the present study was to design a robust observer that slides in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,683 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Rainfall-runoff Models to Zard River Catchment'sM. B. Rahnama, G. A. BaraniRainfall-runoff models are nonlinear processes according to the sequential and spatial distribution of the rainfall. So, it is difficult to explain the response of catchments systems with the simple models. In the present work simulation of the rainfall-runoff processes have been carried out by the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and the HEC-HMS models. The ANN models of Multi Layer Perceptron … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,535 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Reliability Analysis of Steel Moment Frames Using Monte Carlo TechniqueMajid Mahjoor Lotf AabadiDesigning of structures is the function of operation of them. However, operation of the structures depends on different uncertainties. In practical cases, uncertain parameters are simplified and formulated to certain parameters which are implemented in the designing approach. In this investigation, different structural parameters which bear with uncertainties including loading conditions, strength of materials and geometry of the structural elements … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2019 · 7,683 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Impact between Adjacent Structures during of Earthquake and their Effective ParametersAlireza M. Goltabar, R. Shamstabar Kami, A. EbadiIn this research, buildings with 2-15 stories and different heights were put together using GAP joint element and nonlinear time-history analyses were done for Tabas, Elcentro and Sakaria accelerographs. The responses of both impact and non-impact cases were compared. With results analyzing, we found out that the impact increased the responses in taller buildings but decreased them in shorter ones. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,795 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUsing an Adaptative Fuzzy-Logic System to Optimize the Performances and the Reduction of Chattering Phenomenon in the Control of Induction MotorM. M. Krishan, L. Barazane, A. KhwaldehProblem statement: Neural networks and fuzzy inference systems are becoming well-recognized tools of designing an identifier/controller capable of perceiving the operating environment and imitating a human operator with high performance. Also, by combining these two features, more versatile and robust models, called “neuro-fuzzy” architectures have been developed. The mo Approach: Motivation behind the use of neuro-fuzzy approaches was based on … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,526 accessesView PDF Cite
