This paper proposes a novel fault tolerant tracking control (FTTC) scheme for a class of nonlinear systems with actuator failures based on the policy iteration (PI) algorithm and the adaptive fault observer. The estimated actuator failure from an adaptive fault observer is utilized to construct an improved performance index function that reflects the failure, regulation and control simultaneously. With the help of the proper performance index function, the FTTC problem can be transformed into an optimal control problem. The fault tolerant tracking controller is composed of the desired controller and the approximated optimal feedback one. The desired controller is developed to maintain the desired tracking performance at the steady-state, and the approximated optimal feedback controller is designed to stabilize the tracking error dynamics in an optimal manner. By establishing a critic neural network, the PI algorithm is utilized to solve the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, and then the approximated optimal feedback controller can be derived. Based on Lyapunov technique, the uniform ultimate boundedness of the closed-loop system is proven. The proposed FTTC scheme is applied to reconfigurable manipulators with two degree of freedoms in order to test the effectiveness via numerical simulation.

We present an approach to parallelizing optimal power flow that is suitable for distributed implementation and is applicable to very large interconnected power systems. This approach can be used by utilities to optimize economy interchange without disclosing details of their operating costs to competitors. Recently, it is becoming necessary to incorporate contingency constraints into the formulation, and more rapid updates of telemetered data and faster solution time are becoming important to better track changes in the system. This concern led to a research to develop an efficient algorithm for a distributed optimal power flow based on the Auxiliary Problem Principle and to study the convergence rate improvement of the distributed algorithm. The objective of this paper is to find a set of control parameters with which the Auxiliary Problem Principle (Algorithm - APP) can be best implemented in solving optimal power flow problems. We employed several IEEE Reliability Test Systems, and Korea Power System to demonstrate the alternative parameter sets.

In this paper, we propose a optimal design using the Evolution Strategy of a high gain $4\times4$ array antenna that have the resonant frequency of a 19.05GHz with 18.86GHz~19.26GHz bandwidth. The proposed array antenna structure is designed to be allocated equally electric power by microstrip patch power splitter. Thus the optimal array antenna with power splitter are determined by using an optimal design program based on the evolution strategy. To achieve this, an interface program between a commercial EM analysis tool and the optimal design program is constructed for implementing the evolution strategy technique that seeks a global optimum of the objective function through the iterative design process consisting of variation and reproduction. The simulation result of $4\times4$ array antenna is confirmed that the Gain is 19.36 dBi at resonance frequency 19.05GHz.

It is very a time-consuming and error-prone process to obtain the optimal injection condition, which can produce good injection molding products in some operational variation of facilities, from a seed injection condition. This study proposes a new approach to search the optimal injection molding condition using a neural network and a genetic algorithm. To estimate the defect type of unknown injection conditions, this study forces the neural network into learning iteratively from the injection molding conditions collected. Major two parameters of the injection molding condition - injection pressure and velocity are encoded in a binary value to apply to the genetic algorithm. The optimal injection condition is obtained through the selection, cross-over, and mutation process of the genetic algorithm. Finally, this study compares the optimal injection condition searched using the proposed approach. with the other ones obtained by heuristic algorithms and design of experiment technique. The comparison result shows the usability of the approach proposed.

In this study, the optimal method is applied to strengthening of RC hollow slab bridges using external prestressing. The Queen-post and King-post shapes are considered to find the effective tendon configurations. In order to achieve the objective rating factor, the optimal configurations and tendon forces are obtained by using the Sequential Unconstrained Minimization Technique (SUMT). The object function for optimal strengthening is constituted with the dimensionless function of material costs. The constraints are formulated by design specification and the rating factor. The validity of this study is presented by the analysis of the results of strengthening of the RC hollow slab bridges.

Convective/stratiform radar echo classification schemes by Steiner et al. (1995) and Biggerstaff and Listemaa (2000) are examined on a monsoonal front during the summer monsoon-Changma period, which is organized as a cloud cluster with mesoscale convective complex. Target radar is S-band with wavelength of 10cm, spatial resolution of 1km, elevation angle interval of 0.5-1.0 degree, and minimum elevation angle of 0.19 degree at Jindo over the Korean Peninsula. For verification of rainfall amount retrieved from the echo classification, ground-based rain gauge observations (Automatic Weather Stations) are examined, converting the radar echo grid data to the station values using the inverse distance weighted method. Improvement from the echo classification is evaluated based on the correlation coefficient and the scattered diagram. Additionally, an optimal use method was designed to produce combined rainfalls from the radar echo and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar (TRMM/PR) data. Optimal values for the radar rain and TRMM/PR rain are inversely weighted according to the error variance statistics for each single station. It is noted how the rainfall distribution during the summer monsoon frontal system is improved from the classification of convective/stratiform echo and the use of the optimal use technique.

This paper presents a new algorithm to find the optimal distribution of steel diagonal braces (SDB) using artificial bee colony optimization technique. The four different objective functions are employed based on the transfer function amplitude of; the top displacement, the top absolute acceleration, the base shear and the base moment. The stiffness parameter of SDB at each floor level is taken into account as design variables and the sum of the stiffness parameter of the SDB is accepted as an active constraint. An optimization algorithm based on the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is proposed to minimize the objective functions. The proposed ABC algorithm is applied to determine the optimal SDB distribution for planar buildings in order to rehabilitate existing planar steel buildings or to design new steel buildings. Three planar building models are chosen as numerical examples to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method. The optimal SDB designs are compared with a uniform SDB design that uniformly distributes the total stiffness across the structure. The results of the analysis clearly show that each optimal SDB placement, which is determined based on different performance objectives, performs well for its own design aim.
