Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Numerical Estimation of Thermal Contact Resistance in Contacting SurfacesM.H. Shojaefard, K. GoudarziFor some manufacturing processes, the heat transfer between the components, the tools and the environment has an effect on tool-life and the accuracy of the formed component. Consequently, the measurement of Thermal Contact Resistance (TCR) is of increasing interest to researchers and industrial engineers participating in the manufacture of high-precision components. A new transient method and measurement apparatus are used … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,451 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploiting Surrounding Text for Retrieving Web ImagesS. A. Noah, A. Azilawati, T. M.T. Sembok, T. W.T.S. MeriamWeb documents contain useful textual information that can be exploited for describing images. Research had been focused on representing images by means of its content (low level) description such as color, shape and texture, little research had been directed to exploiting such textual information. The aim of this research was to systematically exploit the textual content of HTML documents for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,734 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDirect Model Reference Adaptive Controller Based-On Neural-Fuzzy Techniques for Nonlinear Dynamical SystemsHafizah Husain, Marzuki Khalid, Rubiyah YusofThis paper presents a direct neural-fuzzy-based Model Reference Adaptive Controller (MRAC) for nonlinear dynamical systems with unknown parameters. The two-phase learning is implemented to perform structure identification and parameter estimation for the controller. In the first phase, similarity index-based fuzzy c-means clustering technique extracts the fuzzy rules in the premise part for the neural-fuzzy controller. This technique enables the recruitment … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Advantages of PID Fuzzy Controllers Over The Conventional TypesAbdullah I. Al-Odienat, Ayman A. Al-LawamaFuzzy logic controllers (FLC's) have the following advantages over the conventional controllers: they are cheaper to develop, they cover a wider range of operating conditions, and they are more readily customizable in natural language terms. A self-organizing fuzzy controller can automatically refine an initial approximate set of fuzzy rules. Application of PI-type fuzzy controller increases the quality factor. In this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 18,036 accessesView PDFCite
