A damage detection algorithm based on neuro fuzzy hybrid system is presented in this study for location and severity predictions of cracks in beam-like structures. A combination of eigenfrequencies and rotation deviation curves are utilized as input to the soft computing technique. Both single and multiple damage cases are considered. Theoretical expressions leading to modal properties of damaged beam elements are provided. The beam formulation is based on Euler-Bernoulli theory. The cracked section of beam is simulated employing discrete spring model whose compliance is computed from stress intensity factors of fracture mechanics. A hybrid neuro fuzzy technique is utilized to solve the inverse problem of crack identification. Two different neuro fuzzy systems including grid partitioning (GP) and subtractive clustering (SC) are investigated for the highlighted problem. Several error metrics are utilized for evaluating the accuracy of the hybrid algorithms. The study is the first in terms of 1) using the two models of neuro fuzzy systems in crack detection and 2) considering multiple damages in beam elements employing the fused neuro fuzzy procedures. At the end of the study, the developed hybrid models are tested by utilizing the noise-contaminated data. Considering the robustness of the models, they can be employed as damage identification algorithms in health monitoring of beam-like structures.

To control a light weight flexible manipulator, a composite fuzzy controller is proposed. The controller is designed based on two time scaled models. A singular perturbation technique is applied for deriving the models. The proposed controller, however, does not use the complex equilibrium manifold equations, which are usually needed in the controller based on the two time scaled models. The controller for a slow sub-model and a fast sub-model are T-S type fuzzy controllers, which use 3 linguistic variables for each sub-model. A step trajectory is used in simulations as a reference trajectory of joint motions. The results of simulations with the proposed controller show excellent damping of flexible motions compared to a controller with derivative control of flexible motions.

A robust motion controller based on self-organizing fuzzy control(SOFC) and feed-back tracking control technique is proposed for a two-wheel driven mobile robot. The feed-back control technique of the controller guarantees the robot follows a desired trajectory. The SOFC technique of the controller deals with unmodelled dynamics of the vehicle and uncertainties. The computer simulations are carried out to verify the tracking ability of the proposed controller with various driving situations. The results of the simulations reveal the effectiveness and stability of the proposed controller to compensate the unmodelled dynamics and uncertainties.

A new interacting multiple model (IMM) method using intelligent input estimation (IIE) is proposed to track a maneuvering target. In the proposed method, the acceleration level for each sub-model is determined by IIE-the estimation of the unknown acceleration input by a fuzzy system using the relation between maneuvering filter residual and non-maneuvering one. The genetic algorithm (GA) is utilized to optimize a fuzzy system for a sub-model within a fixed range of acceleration input. Then, multiple models are composed of these fuzzy systems, which are optimized for different ranges of acceleration input. In computer simulation for an incoming ballistic missile, the tracking performance of the proposed method is compared with those of the input estimation (IE) technique and the adaptive interacting multiple model (AIMM) method.

This paper describes an approach for synthesizing a modularized gain scheduled PD type fuzzy logic controller(FLC) of nonlinear magnetic bearing system where the gains of FLC are on-line adapted according to the operating point. Specifically the systematic procedure via root locus technique is carried out for the selection of the gains of FLC. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed gain scheduled fuzzy logic controller yields not only maximization of stability boundary but also better control performance than a single operating point (without gain scheduling)fuzzy controller.

In this paper, a novel intelligent digital redesign (IDR) technique is proposed for the nonlinear interconnected systems which can be represented by a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model. The IDR technique is to convert a pre-designed analog controller into an equivalent digital one. To develop this method, the discretized models of the analog and digital closed-loop system with the decentralized controller are presented, respectively. Using these discretized models, the digital decentralized control gain is obtained to minimize the norm between the state variables of the analog and digital closed-loop systems and stabilize the digital closed-loop system. Its sufficient conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, a numerical example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

The fuzzy inference system is a popular computing framework based on the concepts of fuzzy set theory, fuzzy if-then rules, and fuzzy reasoning. The advantage of fuzzy approach over traditional ones lies on the fact that fuzzy system does not require a detail mathematical description of the system while modeling. As modeling method. the Group Method of Data Handling(GMDH) is introduced by A.G. Ivakhnenko GMDH is an analysis technique for identifying nonlinear relationships between system's inputs and output. We study a Novel Neuro-Fuzzy Network (NNFN) in this paper. NNFN is a network resulting from the combination of a fuzzy inference system and polynomial neural network(PNN) (7) which is advanced structure of GMDH. Simulation involve a series of synthetic as well as experimental data used across various neurofuzzy systems.

For nonlinear control system design, there are many studies based on TSK fuzzy model. However, TSK fuzzy modelling needs nonlinear dynamic equations of the object system or a data set fully distributed in input-output space. This paper proposes an modelling technique using only step input response data. The technique uses also the genetic algorithm. The object systems in this paper are nonlinear to control input variable or output variable. In the case of nonlinear to control input, response data obtained with several step input values are used. In the case of nonlinear to output, step input response data and zero input response data are used. This paper also presents a fuzzy controller design technique from TSK fuzzy model. The effectiveness of the proposed techniques is verified with numerical examples.

This paper presents a voltage-reactive power control algorithm considering fuzziness. In this paper, a coordination technique based on fuzzy set theory is applied for system loss-voltage compromises. Here, we introduce membership functions to measure the adaptability of real power loss of transmission line and the deviation of load bus voltage from the constraints. Then the optimization of problem is solved by a linear programming technique considering the fuzzy set theory. The objective is a degree of satisfaction about the fuzzy decision-making function. The effectiveness of this algorithm has been verified by testing on sample systems.

The mechanical characteristics of materials are very essential in structural analysis for the accuracy of structural calculations. The estimation modulus of elasticity of concrete ($E_c$), one of the most important mechanical characteristics, is a very complex area in terms of analytical models. Many attempts have been made to model the modulus of elasticity through the use of experimental data. In this study, the neuro-fuzzy (NF) technique was investigated in estimating modulus of elasticity of concrete and a new simple NF model by implementing a different NF system approach was proposed. A large experimental database was used during the development stage. Then, NF model results were compared with various experimental data and results from several models available in related research literature. Several statistic measuring parameters were used to evaluate the performance of the NF model comparing to other models. Consequently, it has been observed that NF technique can be successfully used in estimating modulus of elasticity of concrete. It was also discovered that NF model results correlated strongly with experimental data and indicated more reliable outcomes in comparison to the other models.
