Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptimization of the Performance of Single-Phase Capacitor-Run Induction MotorMahdi Salman AlshamasinThe aim of the study was to suggest optimal solution for the impact of harmonics on the performance of Capacitor-Run Motor (CRM), the most commonly used single-phase motor. Therefore, investigations were carried out over the entire slip from no-load condition up to the locked-rotor condition, for harmonics of various orders in the case of using Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) speed control. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,483 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Fuzzy Mathematical Programming Approach to DEA ModelsA. Azadeh, S.F. Ghaderi, Z. Javaheri, M. SaberiEvaluating the performance of activities or organizations by traditional Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as efficiency frontier analysis models requires crisp input/output data. However, in real-world problems inputs and outputs are often imprecise. This study develops DEA models using imprecise data represented by fuzzy sets. An important outcome of assessing relative efficiencies within a group of Decision Making Units (DMUs) in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,232 accessesView PDFCite
