This paper describes the use of a genetic search method in the design of a command augmentation system for a high-performance aircraft. A genetic algorithm is used to design H-infinity controllers for the longitudinal and lateral-directional channels. The integral of absolute value of error between actual response and that of an ideal model is used as the fitness criterion. Starting from an ini...

The purpose of this work is to design a state feedback controller using Parametric Eigenstructure Assignment (PAE) technique that has the capacity to be reconfigured in the case that partial actuator faults occur. The proposed controller is capable of compensating the gain losses in actuators and maintaining the control performance in faulty situations. Simulations show the performance enhancem...

Purpose: Proprioception is a part of the somatosensory system responsible for sending information to the central nervous system to monitor the status of various body parts relative to each another. One of the main causes of impaired proprioception is fatigue. In the following study, the effects of fatigue on quadriceps muscle and hence on knee proprioception in healthy subjects was studied.&nbs...

in this article, we propose and analyze a computational method for numerical solution of general two point boundary value problems. method is tested on problems to ensure the computational eciency. we have compared numerical results with results obtained by other method in literature. we conclude that propose method is computationally ecient and eective.

due to the complex structure of the pressure-adjusting device used in most sprinklersfor variable irrigation, it is not possible to observe the flow behavior of the water passingthrough the flow field. in this paper, an integral three dimensional (3d) numerical modelbased on the structural characteristics of the fluidic sprinkler was constructed to simulatethe flow field distribution using comp...

Let R be a local Noetherian domain of positive characteristic. A theorem of Hochster and Huneke (1992) states that if R is excellent, then the absolute integral closure of R is a big Cohen-Macaulay algebra. We prove that if R is the homomorphic image of a Gorenstein local ring, then all the local cohomology (below the dimension) of such a ring maps to zero in a finite extension of the ring. The...

objective: cone beam computed tomography (cbct) is applied for the imaging of the maxillofacial and dental structures, particularly for surgical treatments and dental implants. the aim of this study was to assess the effect of slice thickness on the accuracy of cbct linear measurements. methods: in this diagnostic accuracy study, forty-two titanium pins with the same dimensions were inserted in...

In this paper, a special technique is studied by using the orthogonal Chebyshev polynomials to get approximate solutions for singular and hyper-singular integral equations of the first kind. A singular integral equation is converted to a system of algebraic equations based on using special properties of Chebyshev series. The error bounds are also stated for the regular part of approximate solut...

in this paper, we propose and analyze an efficient matrix methodbased on bell polynomials for numerically solving nonlinear fredholm- volterraintegral equations. for this aim, first we calculate operational matrix of integration and product based on bell polynomials. by using these matrices, nonlinearfredholm-volterra integral equations reduce to the system of nonlinear algebraicequations which...

a numerical method for solving nonlinear fredholm-volterra integral equations of general type is presented. this method is based on replacement of unknown function by truncated series of well known chebyshev expansion of functions. the quadrature formulas which we use to calculate integral terms have been imated by fast fourier transform (fft). this is a grate advantage of this method which has...
