The nonlinear model of an orthogonal cutting process devised by Grabec is studied to demonstrate the importance of choosing an appropriate step-size and evolutionary algorithm for numerically integrating a system of nonlinear differential equations. Two different algorithms are used for computing the system trajectory, and the dependence of the phase portrait on the step-size is shown. A qualitative understanding to connect the proper step-size and the system nonlinearity is established. 相似文献
The authors introduce a program used as a tool for protective relaying courses at the undergraduate level. This program allows students to practice protective devices coordination in power systems on a personal computer by representing the time-current curve with dynamic computer graphics. The program is provided with a debugging system that is designed to inform the user of any problem found in a protection scheme. To make students fully understand the dynamic performance of protective devices coordination, the program allows students to assign the location of a fault, and will display the operating time of the protective devices according to the tripping sequence. The program also has the function of automatic coordination analysis, the results of which can be compared with the user's scheme and can also help the user to have a better understanding of what is actually used in industry today 相似文献
Electrocardiogram is widely used to diagnose the congestive heart failure (CHF). It is the primary noninvasive diagnostic tool that can guide in the management and follow-up of patients with CHF. Heart rate variability (HRV) signals which are nonlinear in nature possess the hidden signatures of various cardiac diseases. Therefore, this paper proposes a nonlinear methodology, empirical mode decomposition (EMD), for an automated identification and classification of normal and CHF using HRV signals. In this work, HRV signals are subjected to EMD to obtain intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). From these IMFs, thirteen nonlinear features such as approximate entropy \( (E_{\text{ap}}^{x} ) \), sample entropy \( (E_{\text{s}}^{x} ) \), Tsallis entropy \( (E_{\text{ts}}^{x} ) \), fuzzy entropy \( (E_{\text{f}}^{x} ) \), Kolmogorov Sinai entropy \( (E_{\text{ks}}^{x} ) \), modified multiscale entropy \( (E_{{{\text{mms}}_{y} }}^{x} ) \), permutation entropy \( (E_{\text{p}}^{x} ) \), Renyi entropy \( (E_{\text{r}}^{x} ) \), Shannon entropy \( (E_{\text{sh}}^{x} ) \), wavelet entropy \( (E_{\text{w}}^{x} ) \), signal activity \( (S_{\text{a}}^{x} ) \), Hjorth mobility \( (H_{\text{m}}^{x} ) \), and Hjorth complexity \( (H_{\text{c}}^{x} ) \) are extracted. Then, different ranking methods are used to rank these extracted features, and later, probabilistic neural network and support vector machine are used for differentiating the highly ranked nonlinear features into normal and CHF classes. We have obtained an accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 97.64, 97.01, and 98.24 %, respectively, in identifying the CHF. The proposed automated technique is able to identify the person having CHF alarming (alerting) the clinicians to respond quickly with proper treatment action. Thus, this method may act as a valuable tool for increasing the survival rate of many cardiac patients.
The proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller is the most commonly used controller in control application due to its simplicity. However, the control output may exceed the plant input limit which eventually deteriorates the system performance. This is known as a windup phenomenon, which causes large overshoot, long settling time and instability in the control system. Various anti‐windup methods have been introduced to overcome the windup phenomenon such as the Steady‐State Integral Proportional‐Integral Controller (SIPIC). Due to the coupling of the proportional, integral and derivative tuning gains, it is difficult to tune for non‐overshoot and short settling time to coexist in a PID. With decoupling, a greater range of tuning gains can be applied to control the rising slope without disturbing the damping state. Currently, SIPIC with decoupling effect has only been studied for the proportional and integral tuning gains. This paper presents the effect of integrating derivative control on SIPIC in motor speed control. SIPIC+D shows better speed control on a direct current motor under no‐load and loading conditions compared with other existing anti‐windup added with derivative control. 相似文献
This study was aimed at understanding how the process conditions affect the weld‐line strength and microstructure of injection molded microcellular parts. A design of experiments (DOE) was performed and polycarbonate tensile test specimens were produced for tensile tests and microscopic analysis. Injection molding trials were performed by systematically adjusting four process parameters (i.e., melt temperature, shot size, supercritical fluid (SCF) level, and injection speed). For comparison, conventional solid specimens were also produced. The tensile strength was measured at the weld line and away from the weld line. The weld‐line strength of injecton molded microcellular parts was lower than that of its solid counterparts. It increased with increasing shot size, melt temperature, and injection speed, and was weakly dependent on the supercritical fluid level. The microstructure of the molded specimens at various cross sections were examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a light microscope to study the variation of cell size and density with different process conditions. 相似文献
Ant colony optimization (ACO) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are two popular algorithms in swarm intelligence. Recently, a continuous ACO named ACOR was developed to solve the continuous optimization problems. This study incorporated ACOR with PSO to improve the search ability, investigating four types of hybridization as follows: (1) sequence approach, (2) parallel approach, (3) sequence approach with an enlarged pheromone-particle table, and (4) global best exchange. These hybrid systems were applied to data clustering. The experimental results utilizing public UCI datasets show that the performances of the proposed hybrid systems are superior compared to those of the K-mean, standalone PSO, and standalone ACOR. Among the four strategies of hybridization, the sequence approach with the enlarged pheromone table is superior to the other approaches because the enlarged pheromone table diversifies the generation of new solutions of ACOR and PSO, which prevents traps into the local optimum. 相似文献
