Recently, data driven fuzzy modelling has drawn a great deal of attention not only from academia but also from industry. However, a dynamic fuzzy model might be difficult to develop when training data do not contain sufficient information about the process nonlinearity. In order to avoid this problem and to reduce the model complexity, this paper presents a fuzzy Hammerstein (FH) modelling appr...

Roles are meant to capture dynamic and temporal aspects of realworld objects. The role concept has been used with many semantic meanings: dynamic class, aspect, perspective, interface or mode. This paper identifies common semantics of different role models found in the literature. Moreover, it presents a set of conceptual modelling patterns for the role concept that include both the static and ...

Individuals can be identified by their handwriting. Signatures are, for example, currently used as a biometric identifier on documents such as cheques. Handwriting recognition is also applied to the recognition of characters and words on documents—it is, for example, useful to read words on envelopes automatically, in order to improve the efficiency of postal services. Handwriting is a dynamic ...

The new paradigm of Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) [1] necessitates the analysis and validation of non-functional requirements for IMA systems. This includes the analysis of their performability. In this paper we present an initial approach of a performance modelling framework, based on the SAE standardised modelling and analysis language AADL [2, 3], to integrate performance analysis in the...

The present contribution is directed towards the concept of a reliable SHM system for grouted joints of the offshore wind turbines. It focuses on static and dynamic tests of a laboratory structure with a grouted joint, on a proper finite element modelling of its behaviour and damage progress. The entire structure as well as the joint itself is subjected to static and dynamic tests. The material...

In this paper, the general case of an anisotropic thermo-electro elastic body subjected to static biasing fields is considered. The biasing fields may be introduced by heat flux, body forces, external surface tractions, and electric fields. By introducing proper thermodynamic functions and employing variational principle for a thermo-electro elastic body, the nonlinear constitutive relations an...

algal growth and the water quality effects were studied and modeled in the lower reaches of the colusa basin drain as a stream system. statistical techniques such as the correlation matrix and the stepwise multiple regression are performed on such variables as algal biomass, ammonia, nitrate, orthophosphate, temperature, and the solar radiation intensity in deriving an algae statistical model. ...

introduction: sensory-motor control and in general gaining balance will be impaired after an ankle injury and in fatigue situations. the aim of this research was to study the effect of exercise-based fatigue on static and dynamic balance in mountaineering athletes who were successful in returning to a suitable level of physical activity after an ankle sprain injury. materials and methods: 25 ac...
