In order to improve the reliability of tripping solenoid valve and switching steam turbine in nuclear power plant reduce abnormal closing. According working principle valves plant, this paper designs a kind electromagnetic sealing test system, including base, measurement control system hydraulic system. The detection is an offline By simulating real load condition tightness tested valve. actual...

Atmospheric pressure is a variable that has been often manipulated in the trade space surrounding the design and engineering of space exploration vehicles and extraterrestrial habitats. Low pressures were used to reduce structural engineering and launch mass throughout the early human space program; moreover, low pressures will certainly be considered in future concepts for the same reasons. Fu...

The design of physical (plant) and control aspects of a dynamic system have traditionally been treated as two separate problems, often solved in sequence. Optimizing plant and control design disciplines separately results in sub-optimal system designs that do not capitalize on the synergistic coupling between these disciplines. This coupling is inherent in most actively controlled dynamic syste...

A large-scale statistical experimental design was used to determine essential cultivation parameters that affect biomass accumulation and geraniol production in transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsun NN) cell suspension cultures. The carbohydrate source played a major role in determining the geraniol yield and factors such as filling volume, inoculum size and light were less important...

High Strength Concrete (HSC) is defined as concrete that meets special combination of performance and uniformity requirements that cannot be achieved routinely using conventional constituents and normal mixing, placing, and curing procedures. It is a highly complex material, which makes modeling its behavior a very difficult task. This paper aimed to show possible applicability of Neural Networ...

In this chapter the problem of identifying events in dynamic processes (e.g. faults, anomalous behaviours, etc.) is tackled with soft computing techniques aimed at the classification of the process transients generated by such events. A review of previous work is followed by a discussion of several alternative designs and models which employ both fuzzy and neural systems. These have been develo...
