In this study, the performance of a high-frequency arc welding machine including a two-switch inverter is analyzed. The control of the system is achieved using two different control techniques ifuzzy logic control (FLC) iistate space averaging based sliding control. Fuzzy logic control does not need accurate mathematical model of a plant and can be used in nonlinear applications. The second met...

In order to reduce the vibration of smart structures, this paper gets the optimal location of piezoelectric patch by the D-optimal design principle, and then uses the fuzzy logic to control the smart structures vibration. The fuzzy IF-THEN rules are established on analysis of the motion traits of cantilever beam. The fuzzy logic controller (FLC) designs base on using the displacement and veloci...

Fuzzy logic and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers are compared for use in direct current (DC) motors positioning system. A simulation study of the PID position controller for the armature-controlled with fixed field and fieldcontrolled with fixed armature current DC motors is performed. Fuzzy rules and the inferencing mechanism of the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) are evaluated ...

DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) is an effective technique to make use of the large amount of bandwidth in optical fibers to meet the broadband requirement of multimedia applications. The routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) algorithm efficiently manages optical network resources and is separated from the optical topology. This paper proposes a dynamic LLR algorithm using fuzzy ...

The paper introduces novel residuum-based reasoning systems in a pseudo— analysis based uninorm environment. Based on the definitions and theorems for lattice ordered monoids and left continuous uninorms and t-norms, certain distance-based operators are focused on, with the help of which the uninorm-residuum based approximate reasoning system becomes possible in Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) system...

The charging method has a significant influence on the performance and lifetime of Rechargeable batteries. Therefore intelligent charging algorithm which can properly determine the charging current is essential. In this study, a fuzzy-logic-control-based (FLC-based) battery charger is proposed. The proposed charger takes the voltage and current of battery into account, and adjusts the pwm duty ...

Conventional fuzzy logic controllers (FLC) are frequently being used to wherever the load is non-linear or when the mathematical model of a plant is unknown or to make a system or plant robust to external disturbances. The main working of the fuzzy logic controller depends upon the number of rules present in the rule base. Higher the number of rules better is the performance. However, with the ...

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) are driven by two energy convertors, i.e., an Internal Combustion (IC) engine and an electric machine. To make powertrain of HEV as efficient as possible, proper management of the energy elements is essential. This task is completed by HEV controller, which splits power between the IC engine and Electric Motor (EM). In this paper, a Genetic-Fuzzy control strategy...

This paper presents an implementation of a new robust control strategy based on interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller (IT2-FLC) applied to the wind energy conversion system (WECS). The generator used was variable speed turbine doubly fed induction (DFIG). Fuzzy concepts have been with great success in many applications worldwide. So far, vast majority systems type-1 controllers. However, T1-FL...

Available Bit Rate (ABR) streams are carried whenever bandwidth is available to do so. When transporting MPEG streams over ATM networks, the link utilization cannot be brought close to 100% no matter how efficient the connection control admission scheme is, but can be improved by ABR traffic. Due to the unpredictable fluctuations and burstiness of the MPEG streams, it is difficult to accurately...
