a fault-tolerant control (ftc) methodology has been presented for nonlinear processes being imposed by control input constraints. the proposed methodology uses a combination of feedback linearization and model predictive control (flmpc) schemes. the resulting constraints in the transformed process will be dependent on the actual evolving states, making their incorporation in the design context ...

controlling a system with minimum information and regardless of dynamic equations which dominate systems is the aim of intelligent control. one of the common approaches for process control is applying shewhart's quality control charts. neuro-fuzzy networks, as one of the branches of artificial intelligence (ai), can play an effective role in the enforcement of process control's common...

260 What is the minimum amount of carbon dioxide that a process can produce? This may seem like a trivial question but it is not a question usually asked when processes are being designed. In many cases, there is a lack of a quantitative description of what is the highest efficiency, least amount of energy, or lowest amount of carbon dioxide that can be achieved for a particular process, i.e., ...

This article investigates integrated maintenance, production, and product quality control policy for a supply chain consisting of single machine producing only one type product, main storage warehouse, multi-purchases warehouses. The variation the production rate its use over time impact manufacturing system’s degradation degree. Hence, is subject to random failure that directly affects product...

intelligent wells provide the ability for monitoring and control of downhole environment of the wells. downhole monitoring is achieved through sensors while control is realized with downhole valves. recovery from intelligent wells can be improved by proper selection of candidate wells/fields and optimizing the number, location and performance of the installed interval control valves. design cri...

Real-time control of product performance parameters is a key for proactive quality control (QC), as it can prevent the occurrence of potential quality problems in the earliest stage of manufacturing. It is recognized that dynamic product QC must be coordinated with the control of the process through which eywords: roduct quality control rocess control ntegrated product and process engineering u...
