In recent years, high-rise construction has been rising. A big challenge for engineers and executives in the construction of these structures is the stability of the structures against earthquakes. And this requires the development of appropriate arrangements for structures under lateral system and are braced system. And this requires the development of appropriate arrangements for structures ...

introduction: variable resolution x-ray (vrx) ct is a new type of ct that can image objects at various spatial resolutions. in a vrx ct scanner, the spatial resolution increases at the cost of reduction in the field of view (fov). an important factor that limits the spatial resolution of the vrx ct is the effect of focal spot size. also, the optimum magnification is different at each incident a...

A variable structure slip control strategy is developed for grasping objects by a robot end-effector. A hybrid controller comprised of a fuzzy controller and a PI controller is designed to perform the strategy. When a grasped object is slipped by an external force as a disturbance, the applied fingertip force is rapidly increased to stop sliding and then decreased to a reliable limit to hold th...

Abstract Previous studies have investigated technology’s impact on international affairs, but few analyzed the effect of artificial intelligence system structure. This study integrates heterogeneous datasets and network science concepts with several power factors advances as a methodology to understand evolution perspective around research, knowledge, innovation, technology an endogenous variab...

A sliding sector has been defined as a subset of the state space, inside which a norm of state decreases with zero control input [1]. In this paper, an invariant sliding sector is defined to be such a kind of sliding sector inside which with a suitable control law, the norm keeps decreasing and the system state stays there since then after entering the sector, i.e. the sector defined in the pap...

A variable-structure (VS) PID controller for the level process is proposed. A methodology of analysis of its stability and performance is given. It is proposed that stability of the VS system can be approximately analyzed via the describing function method. The describing function of the VS PID controller is derived. It is shown that the system with the VS PID controller is quasi-linear. Tuning...

Systems with unilateral constraints usually possess a variable structure dynamics, in which systems can switch from one mode to another due to contacts and impacts. In particular, friction participating into contacts and impacts will extremely complicate the dynamics, and even result in some singularities when using rigid body models. In this paper, we develop a method that can well deal with t...

The theory of variable structure systems (VSS) with sliding modes is currently one of the most significant research topics within the control engineering domain. Moreover, recently a number of important applications of the theory in the field of power electronics, motion control, robotics, bioprocess etc. have also been reported. Therefore, this paper presents a brief introduction to the theory...

In this paper, a new state and parameter estimation method is introduced based on the particle filter (PF) and the smooth variable structure filter (SVSF). The PF is a popular estimation method, which makes use of distributed point masses to form an approximation of the probability distribution function (PDF). The SVSF is a relatively new estimation strategy based on sliding mode concepts, form...

The main purpose of this paper is to study the lattice structure of variable precision rough sets. The notion of variation in precision of rough sets have been further extended to variable precision rough set with variable classification error and its algebraic properties are also studied.
