Since the large erecting mechanism has nonlinearities, parameter uncertainties and external disturbance, it is difficult to realize a model-based sliding mode control design. So a fuzzy adaptive sliding mode control scheme which combined fuzzy control with sliding mode control is proposed to achieve nonlinear control of the erecting mechanism. This control scheme is mainly use the fuzzy system ...

Several adaptation techniques have been investigated to optimize fuzzy inference systems. Neural network learning algorithms have been used to determine the parameters of fuzzy inference system. Such models are often called as integrated neuro-fuzzy models. In an integrated neuro-fuzzy model there is no guarantee that the neural network learning algorithm converges and the tuning of fuzzy infer...

Seismic hazard assessment like many other issues in seismology is a complicated problem, which is due to a variety of parameters affecting the occurrence of an earthquake. Uncertainty, which is a result of vagueness and incompleteness of the data, should be considered in a rational way. Using fuzzy method makes it possible to allow for uncertainties to be considered. Fuzzy inference system,...

In this study, the self-tuning method for fuzzy PID controllers that has been developed in a previous study of the authors is implemented on PLC in order to control some standard processes formed on FEEDBACK PCS 327 Process Control Simulator. In this tuning method, the input scaling factor corresponding to the derivative coefficient and the output scaling factor corresponding to the integral co...

Decision-tree algorithms provide one of the most popular methodologies for symbolic knowledge acquisition. The resulting knowledge, a symbolic decision tree along with a simple inference mechanism, has been praised for comprehensibility. The most comprehensible decision trees have been designed for perfect symbolic data. Classical crisp decision trees (DT) are widely applied to classification t...

The Bandler–Kohout Subproduct (BKS) inference mechanism is one of the two established fuzzy relational inference (FRI) mechanisms, the other being Zadeh’s Compositional Rule of Inference (CRI). Both these FRIs are known to possess many desirable properties. It can be seen that many of these desirable properties are due to the rich underlying structure, viz., the residuated algebra, from which t...
