In this study, a usefulness of the iterative solution procedures is reviewed for the elasto-plastic large deflection analysis of imperfect plates by finite element method. Three typical solution techniques such as simple incremental(SI) method, Newton-Raphson(NR) method and modified Newton-Raphson (mNR) method are compared. It is concluded that for thin plates which are given rise to the large deflection, iteration for the convergence of the unbalance force should be performed and in this case mNR method is more useful than NR method since the computing time of the former becomes to be a half of the latter, in which the accuracy of the result remains same. For thick plates or thin plates with large initial deflection, however, the use of SI method is quite better since the unbalance force may be negligible.

In EIT(electrical impedance tomography), the internal resistivity(or conductivity) distribution of the unknown object is estimated using the boundary voltage data induced by different current patterns using various reconstruction algorithms. In this paper, we present a regularized modified Newton-Raphson(mNR) scheme which employs additional a priori information in the cost functional as soft constraint and the weighting matrices in the cost functional are selected based on the exponentially weighted least square criterion. The computer simulation for the 32 channels synthetic data shows that the reconstruction performance of the proposed scheme is improved compared to that of the conventional regularized mNR at the expense of slightly increased computational burden.

In boundary estimation in Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), conventional method is the modified Newton Raphson (mNR) method .The mNR is famous for good method since has good convergence and robustness against noisy data. But the mNR is low efficiency to get and update Jacobian matrix. So, the mNR become very slow algorithm. We propose the Quasi Newton (QN) method to improve efficiency which will lead to speed up in boundary estimation. The QN can improve a low efficiency by using estimated Jacobian matrix contrary to using exactly calculated Jacobian matrix, this used by the mNR. And finally, we propose the modified Quasi Newton (mQN) method because the QN has some problems such as bad early convergence rate and instability of 'divided by zero'. For the verification of the propose method, numerical experiments are conducted and the results show a good performance.

The 6-DOF parallel manipulator is a closed-kindmatic chain robot manipulator that is capable of providing high structural rigidity and positional accuracy. Because of its advantage, the parallel manipulator have been widely used in many engineering applications such as vehicle/flight driving simulators, rogot maniplators, attachment tool of machining centers, etc. However, the kinematic analysis for the implementation of a real-time controller has some problem because of the lack of an efficient lagorithm for solving its highly nonliner forward kinematic equation, which provides the translational and orientational attitudes of the moveable upper platform from the lenght of manipulator linkages. Generally, Newton-Raphson method has been widely sued to solve the forward kinematic problem but the effectiveness of this methodology depend on how to set initial values. This paper proposes a hybrid method using genetic algorithm(GA) and Newton-Raphson method to solve forward kinematics. That is, the initial values of forward kinematics solution are determined by adopting genetic algorithm which can search grobally optimal solutions. Since determining this values, the determined values are used in Newton-Raphson method for real time calcuation.

The solution of the power flow is one of the most important problems in electrical power systems. These traditional methods such as Gauss-Seidel method and Newton-Raphson (NR) method have had drawbacks up to now such as initial values, abnormal operating solutions and divergences in heavy loads. In order to overcome theses problems, the power flow solution incorporating genetic algorithm (GA) is introduced in this paper. General operator of genetic algorithm, arithmetic crossover, and non-uniform mutation operator of GA are suggested to solve the power flow problem. While abnormal solution cannot be obtained by a NR method, multiple power flow solution can be obtained by a GA method. With a heavy load, both normal solution and abnormal solution can be obtained by a proposed method. In this paper, a floating number representation instead of the binary number representation is introduced for accuracy. Simulation results have been compared with traditional methods.

In electrical impedance tomography (EIT), modified Newton Raphson (mNR) method is widely used inverse algorithm for static image reconstruction due to its convergence speed and estimation accuracy. The unknown conductivity distribution is estimated iteratively by minimizing a cost functional such that the residual error namely the difference in measured and calculated voltages is reduced. Although, mNR method has good estimation performance, EIT inverse problem still suffers from ill-conditioned and ill-posedness nature. To mitigate the ill-posedness, generally, regularization methods are adopted. The inverse solution is highly dependent on the choice of regularization parameter. In most cases, the regularization parameter has a constant value and is chosen based on experience or trail and error approach. In situations, when the internal distribution changes or with high measurement noise, the solution does not get converged with the use of constant regularization parameter. Therefore, in this paper, in order to improve the image reconstruction performance, we propose a new scheme to determine the regularization parameter. The regularization parameter is computed based on residual error and updated every iteration. The proposed scheme is tested with numerical simulations and laboratory phantom experiments. The results show an improved reconstruction performance when using the proposed regularization scheme as compared to constant regularization scheme.

Electrical impedance tomograpy(EIT) determines the resistivity distribution inside an inhomogeneous target by means of voltage and current measurements conducted at the target boundary. In this paper, a simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation(SPSA) approach is proposed for the solution of the EIT image reconstruction. Results of numerical experiments of EIT solved by the SPSA approach are presented and compared to that obtained by the modified Newton-Raphson(mNR) method.

In general, feature detection and tracking algorithms is classified by EBGM using Garbor-jet, NNC-R and STK algorithm using pixel eigenvalue. In those algorithms, EBGM and NCC-R detect features with feature model, but STK algorithm has a characteristics of an automatic feature selection. In this paper, to solve the initial problem of NR tracking in STK algorithm, we detected features using STK algorithm in modelled feature region and tracked features with NR method. In tracking, to improve the tracking accuracy for features by NR method, we proposed BMA-NR method. We evaluated that BMA-NR method was superior to NBMA-NR in that feature tracking accuracy, since BMA-NR method was able to solve the local minimum problem due to search window size of NR.

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) techniques are increasingly employed for PWM inverter fed induction motor drive. Among various popular PWM methods used, Selective Harmonic Elimination PWM (SHEPWM) has been widely accepted for its better harmonic elimination capability. In addition, using SHEPWM, it is also possible to maintain better voltage regulation. Hence, in this paper, an attempt has been made to apply Bacterial Foraging Algorithm (BFA) for solving selective harmonic elimination problem. The problem of voltage harmonic elimination together with output voltage regulation is drafted as an optimization task and the solution is sought through proposed method. For performance comparison of BFA, the results obtained are compared with other techniques such as derivative based Newton-Raphson method, and Genetic Algorithm. From the comparison, it can be observed that BFA based approach yields better results. Further, it provides superior convergence, reduced computational burden, and guaranteed global optima. The simulation results are validated through experimental findings.

The power flow calculations(PFc) are the most important and powerful tools in power systems engineering. The conventional power flow problem is solved generally with numerical methods such as Newton-Raphson(NR). The conventional numerical method generally have some convergency problem, which is sensitive to initial value, and numerical stability problem concerned with jacobian matrix inversion. This paper presents a new PFc algorithm based on the improved genetic algorithm (IGA) which can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above. The parameters of GA, with dynamical hierarchy of the coding system, are improved to make GA a practical algorithm in the problem of real system. Some case studies with test bus system also present to show the performance of proposed algorithm. The results of proposed algorithm are compared with the results of PFc obtained using a conventional NR method.
