in this paper, we introduce hybrid of block-pulse functions and bernstein polynomials and derive operational matrices of integration, dual, differentiation, product and delay of these hybrid functions by a general procedure that can be used for other polynomials or orthogonal functions. then, we utilize them to solvedelay differential equations and time-delay system. the method is based upon ex...

We analyze the observability of the continuous and discrete states of a class of continuous-time linear hybrid systems. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions that the structural parameters of the model must satisfy in order for filtering and smoothing algorithms to operate correctly. Our conditions are simple rank tests that exploit the geometry of the observability subspaces generated ...

A method of diagnosing the occurrence of arbitrary events in hybrid dynamical systems is presented. The methodology unifies results from the Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) and Diagnosis (DX) communities. In this approach the diagnosis is not performed on the output trajectory of the system but rather on the fundamental governing dynamics, thus not requiring the computation of residuals. Th...

In this paper, a hybrid solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and micro gas turbine (MGT) power system is parametrically studied to evaluate the effect of different operating conditions. The SOFC/MGT power system includes SOFC reactor, combustion chamber, compressor and turbine units, and two heat exchangers. The effects of fuel utilization, temperature, and pressure are assessed on performance of t...

in this paper, an adaptive rule based controller for an anti-lock regenerative braking system (arbs) of a series hybrid electric bus (sheb) has been proposed. the proposed controller integrates the regenerative braking and wheel anti-lock functions by controlling the electric motor of the hybrid vehicle, without using any conventional mechanical anti-lock braking system. the performance of the ...

Constructed wetlands have not been commonly used in Vietnam due to the lack of information in the selection of proper types of constructed wetlands, type of reeds, design parameters and performance efficiency, in tropical climates. This paper focuses on Canna generalis, which is a common reed and easy to grow both in water and wet land conditions. Two kinds of hybrid constructed wetlan...

in this paper, the numerical technique based on hybrid bernoulli and block-pulse functions has been developed to approximate the solution of system of linear volterra integral equations. system of volterra integral equations arose in many physical problems such as elastodynamic, quasi-static visco-elasticity and magneto-electro-elastic dynamic problems. these functions are formed by the hybridi...

This thesis introduces the concept of structural hybrid systems to address, as a particular case, the model checking problem of switching (possible large scale) linear time invariant systems. Within the proposed setup, we provide necessary conditions to ensure properties such as controllability, at each time. We show that such model checking controllability properties can be implemented using e...

This paper describes a hybrid reasoning system for complex diagnostic tasks in structural engineering. This project combines results from research into compositional modelling with model reuse for improving the quality of diagnosis through a systematic consideration of feasible models for explaining observations. This leads to more accurate predictions of behaviour and as a result, improved str...
