This paper addresses the analysis and design of fuzzy-model-based controller for nonlinear systems using extended PDC and optimal pole-placement schemes. In the design procedure, we represent the nonlinear system using a Takagi-Sugeno fkzy model and formulate the controller rules by using the extended parallel distributed compensator (EPDC) and construct an overall fuzzy logic controller by blending all local state feedback controllers with an optimal pole-placement scheme. Unlike the commonly used parallel distributed compensation technique, by blending a newly extended parallel distributed compensator and the optimal poleplacement schemes, we can design not only a local stable k z y controller but also an overall stable fuzzy controller to perform the tacking control objective. Furthermore, a stability analysis is carried out not only for the fuzzy model but also for a real nonlinear system. Finally. the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed fizzy model-based controller design method has been shown through a simulation example.

An optimal layout condition of the offshore wind turbines is studied by using the response surface analysis which is a kind of the design of experiments. Based on the assumption that total 36 turbines would be installed in the offshore wind farm, the number and distance of the rows and columns are used as the design variables and the efficiency decrease of power generation due to the wake decay by the interactions of turbines and the installation cost of the internal electric grid are considered as the objective functions of the response surface analysis for the layout design of turbines. Useful design information can be derived by analyzing the relationship between the design variables and target functions. It is found that the row number and the distance between rows should be minimized, and the optimal distance between columns should be estimated and adopted to the layout design within the specified design range in order to ensure the economics for the offshore wind farm.

This paper discusses the application of a hybrid discretiziation method for the discretization procedure that needs to be included in discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) for the problem of allocating PV (photovoltaic) systems onto distribution power systems. For this purpose, this paper proposes a rule-based expert system considering the objective function value and its optimizing speed as the input parameters and applied it to the PV allocation problem including discrete decision variables. For multi-level discretization, this paper adopts a hybrid method combined with a simple rounding and sigmoid funtion based 3-step and 5-step quantization methods, and the application of the rule based expert system proposing the adequate discretization method at each PSO iteration so that the DPSO with the hybrid discretization can provide better performance than the previous DPSO.

For the case of the capacity increase of Masan-Changwon wastewater treatment plant, the changes of near-field dilution rates due to the increased discharges into Masan Bay from the submerged multipart-diffuser were predicted by using CORMIX model. As the increase of wastewater discharges from currently 280,000 m3f day to 720,000 m3fday by 2011, the dilution rates become much lower than the present rates. To enhance the reduced dilution rates, the engineering design changes of diffuser length and alignment were considered as an optimal engineering option. According to the results of the model simulations for these changes, the dilution rates were increased in the strong ambient current of spring tide, but they were not affected by these changes in the weak current of neap tide in Masan Bay. From the analysis of oceanographic survey data, new outfalls sites have been searched. A promising outfalls site is selected and proposed on the basis of maximum obtainable dilution rates predicted by the model simulations.

Ths paper presents an optimization method which determines locations and size of capacitors simultaneously while minimizing power losses and improving voltage profile in radial distribution systems. Especially, the cost function associated with capacitor pla.cerrent is considered as step function due to banks of standard discrete capacities. Genetic algorithms(GA) are used to obtain efficiently the solution of the cost function associated with capacitors which is non-continuous and non-differentiable function. The strings in GA consist of the node nwnber index and size of capacitors to be installed. The length mutation operator, which is able to change the length of strings in each generation, is used. The proposed Jrethod which determines locations and size of capacitors simultaneously can reduce power losses and improve voltage proftle with capacitors of minimum size. Its efficiency is proved through the arolication in radial distribution systems.ystems.

This study performed the optimum design of balanced and unbalanced span length bridges with many variable Girder types by using the optimum design program to minimize the cost for PSC box girder bridge of the full staging method. The objective of this study is to present tendon's application direction about complicated construction hereafter by studying about optimum tendon arrangement that is worked in each variable Girder type. This program used SUMT procedure and Kavlie's extended penalty function to allow infeasible design points in the process. Powell's direct method was used in searching design points and Gradient Approximate Method was used to reduce design hours.

In this paper, we show that the proper equi-replicate binary designs with h($h\geq2$)-concurrence most balanced designs are (M, S)-optimal. It is very difficult to construct with more than 3-concurrence designs, so we choose 3-concurrence most balanced designs out of the known PBIBD(3).

최근 개별 제품의 가격이 상승하고 품질의 중요성이 강조됨에 따라, 생산현장에서 제품의 불량을 검사하고, 불량품을 즉시 재작업하는 공정이 많아지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 불량품의 재작업 과정을 고려하여 생산라인에서 비용을 최소화 하는 최적 배치사이즈와 재작업 정책을 결정하는 모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델은 다수의 기계가 연속적으로 연결된 다단계생산시스템을 가정하고 있으며, 검사 공정의 위치 변화에 따른 두 가지 재작업 정책과 두 정책으로부터 변형된 정책을 반영할 수 있다. 제안된 모델을 통해 생산 환경에 따라 비용을 최소화하는 재작업 정책과 최적의 생산 배치사이즈를 결정할 수 있으며, 생산 환경요인들의 변화에 따른 배치사이즈와 비용의 변화를 정책 별로 비교 분석할 수 있다.

The nesting of two-dimensional patterns onto a given raw sheet has applications in a number industries. It is a common problem often faced by designers in the shipbuilding, garment making, blanking die design, glass and wood industries. This paper presents a multi-stage layout approach for nesting two-dimensional patterns by using artificial intelligence techniques with a relatively short computation time. The raw material with irregular boundaries and internal defects which must be considered in various cases of nesting was also investigated in this study. The proposed nesting approach consists of two stages : initial layout stage and layout improvement stage. The initial layout configuration is achieved by the self-organizing assisted layout(SOAL) algorithm while in the layout improvement stage, the simulated annealing(SA) is adopted for a finer optimization.

An effective nesting algorithm has been proposed to allocate the arbitrary shapes on one or several raw sheets by applying the well-known simulated annealing algorithm as the optimization technique. In this approach, both the shapes to be allocated and the raw sheets are represented as the grid-based models. This algorithm can accommodate every possible situations encountered in cutting apparel parts from the raw leather sheets. In other words, the usage of the internal hole of a shape for other small shapes, handling of the irregular boundaries and the interior defects of the raw sheets, and the simultaneous allocation on more than one raw sheets have been tackled on successfully in this study. Several computational experiments are presented to verify the robustness of the proposed algorithm.
