Introduction: Researchers have employed surface electromyography (EMG) to study the human masticatory system and the relationship between the activity of masticatory muscles and the mechanical features of mastication. This relationship has several applications in food texture analysis, control of prosthetic limbs, rehabilitation, and teleoperated robots. Materials and Methods: In this paper, w...

in this paper, a stochastic multi-depot multi-objective vehicle routing problem (vrp) is studied. based on observations in real-world problems, we develop an aspect of the problem, such as stochastic availability of routes. to solve the problem in this situation, a two-objective mathematical model is developed, in which the related objective functions are: (1) minimizing transportation costs an...

‎in this paper‎, ‎we present a new modification of chebyshev-halley‎ ‎method‎, ‎free from second derivatives‎, ‎to solve nonlinear equations‎. ‎the convergence analysis shows that our modification is third-order‎ ‎convergent‎. ‎every iteration of this method requires one function and‎ ‎two first derivative evaluations‎. ‎so‎, ‎its efficiency index is‎ ‎$3^{1/3}=1.442$ that is better than that o...

this paper concerns a study on the optimal control for nonlinear systems. an appropriate alternative in order to alleviate the nonlinearity of a system is the exact linearization approach. in this fashion, the nonlinear system has been linearized using input-output feedback linearization (iofl). then, by utilizing the well developed optimal control theory of linear systems, the compensated nonl...

using the mean-value theorem for integrals we tried to solved the nonlinear integral equations of hammerstein type . the mean approach is to obtain an initial guess with unknown coefficients for unknown function y(x). the procedure of this method is so fast and don't need high cpu and complicated programming. the advantages of this method are that we can applied for those integral equation...

in this paper, a new smooth second order sliding mode control is proposed. this algorithm is a modified form of super twisting algorithm. the super twisting guarantees the asymptotic stability, but the finite time stability of proposed method is proved with introducing a new particular lyapunov function. the proposed algorithm which is able to control nonlinear systems with matched structured u...

In this paper, the nonlinear vibrations analysis of functionally graded (FG) rectangular plate in contact with fluid are investigated analytically using first order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The pressure exerted on the free surface of the plate by the fluid is calculated using the velocity potential function and the Bernoulli equation. With the aid of von Karman nonlinearity strain-displ...

The aim of this paper is to investigate geometrically nonlinear static analysis of axially functionally graded cantilever beam subjected to transversal non follower load. The considered problem is solved by finite element method with total Lagrangian kinematic approach. The material properties of the beam vary along the longitudinal direction according to the power law function. The finite elem...
