One of the methods to simplify the design process for a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is to reduce the number of variables representing the rule antecedent. This in turn decreases the number of control rules, membership functions, and scaling factors. For this purpose, we designed a single-input FLC that uses a sole fuzzy input variable. However, it is still deficient in the capability of adapting some varying operating conditions although it provides a simple method for the design of FLC's. We here design two simple-structured adaptive fuzzy logic controllers (SAFLC's) using the concept of the single-input FLC. Linguistic fuzzy control rules are directly incorporated into the controller by a fuzzy basis function. Thus some parameters of the membership functions characterizing the linguistic terms of the fuzzy control rules can be adjusted by an adaptive law. In our controllers, center values of fuzzy sets are directly adjusted by an adaptive law. Two SAFLC's are designed. One of them uses a Hurwitz error dynamics and the other a switching function of the sliding mode control (SMC). We also prove that 1） their closed-loop systems are globally stable in the sense that all signals involved are bounded and 2） their tracking errors converge to zero asymptotically. We perform computer simulations using a nonlinear plant.

The stability analysis for the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) has widely been reported. Furthermore many research in the FLC has been introduced to decrease the number of parameters representing the antecedent part of the fuzzy control rule. In this paper we briefly explain a single-input fuzzy logic controller (SFLC) or simple-structured FLC which uses only a single input variable. And then we analyze that it is absolutely stale based on the sector bounded condition. We also show the feasibility of the proposed stability analysis through a numerical example of a mass-damper-spring system.

This paper presents a Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) system to decide whether or not the right information of lanes can be extracted from gray-level images of road scene. The decision of noisy level of input images has been required because much noises usually deteriorates the performance of feature detection based on image processing and lead to erroneous results. As input parameters to FNN, eight noisiness indexes are constructed from a cumulative distribution function (CDF) and proved the indexes being classifiers of images as the good and the bad corrupted by sources of noise by correlation analysis between input images and the indexes. Considering real-time processing and discrimination efficiency, the proposed FNN is structured by eight input parameters, three fuzzy variables and single output. We conduct much experiments and show that our system has comparable performance in terms of false-positive rates.

This study was carried out to evaluate the aspect of microstructure and mechanical property development on additive manufactured pure Ti at elevated heat-input. For this work, pure Ti powder (commercial purity, grade 1) was selected, and selective laser melting was conducted from 0.5 to 1.4 J/mm. As a result, increase in heat-input led to the significant grain growth form 4 ㎛ to 12 ㎛, accompanying with the change of grain shape, correctly widmanstätten structured grains. In addition, Vickers microhardness was notably increased from 228 Hv to 358 Hv in accordance with elevated heat-input, which was attributed to the increased concentration of oxygen and nitrogen mainly occurred during selected laser melting process.

The function of SCR system in refuse incineration plant is to reduce the harmful combustion gases especially NOx which make serious environmental pollution. The SCR system normally have a NOx measurement system such as inlet NOx analyzer and outlet T.M.S.(Tele Monitoring System) to control the outlet NOx in stack. The NOx measurement system is very important, however there are frequently happened sensing problems and it need maintenance periodically. In this paper, we propose an estimation method of inlet NOx of SCR system by using general structured observer. The inlet NOx is considered as an input disturbance and it is modelled by applying FFT method in frequency domains. Through the design of general structured observer, the outlet NOx can be estimated by using observation error between real outlet NOx and estimated outlet NOx. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by comparing to a measured inlet NOx data.

Studies on the control of the inverted pendulum type system have been widely reported. This is because it is a typical complex nonlinear system and may be a good model for verifying the performance of a proposed control system. In this paper, we propose the design of some fuzzy logic control (FLC) systems for controlling a Segway-type mobile robot, which is an inverted pendulum type system. We first derive a dynamic model of the Segway-type mobile robot and then analyze it in detail. Next, we propose the design of some FLC systems that have good performance for the control of any nonlinear system. Then, we design two conventional FLC systems for the position and balance control of the Segway-type mobile robot, and we demonstrate their usefulness through simulations. Next, we point out the possibility of simplifying the design process and reducing the computational complexity,, which results from the skew symmetric property of the fuzzy control rule tables. Finally, we design two other FLC systems for position and balance control of the Segway-type mobile robot. These systems have only one input variable in the FLC systems. Furthermore, we observe that they offer similar control performance to that of the conventional two-input FLC systems.

Various inverted pendulum systems have been frequently used as a model for the performance test of the proposed control system. We first identify a rotary-type inverted pendulum system by the Euler-Lagrange method and then design a FLC (Fuzzy Logic Controller) fur the plant. FLC`s are one of useful control schemes fur plants having difficulties in deriving mathematical models or having performance limitations with conventional linear control schemes. Many FLC`s imitate the concept of conventional PD (Proportional-Derivative) or PI (Proportional-Integral) controller. That is, the error e and the change-of-error are used as antecedent variables and the control input u the change of control input Au is used as its consequent variable for FLC`s. In this paper we design a simple-structured FLC for the rotary inverted pendulum system. We also perform some computer simulations to examine the tracking performance of the closed-loop system.

Process monitoring of output variables affecting final performance have been mainly executed in semiconductor manufacturing process. However, even earlier detection of causes of output variation cannot completely prevent yield loss because a number of wafers after detecting them must be re-processed or cast away. Semiconductor manufacturers have put more attention toward monitoring process inputs to prevent yield loss by early detecting change-point of the process. In the paper, we propose the method to efficiently monitor functional input variables in multi-phase semiconductor manufacturing process. Measured input variables in the multi-phase process tend to be of functional structured form. After data pre-processing for these functional input data, change-point analysis is practiced to the pre-processed data set. If process variation occurs, key variables affecting process variation are selected using contribution plot for monitoring efficiency. To evaluate the propriety of proposed monitoring method, we used real data set in semiconductor manufacturing process. The experiment shows that the proposed method has better performance than previous output monitoring method in terms of fault detection and process monitoring.

Building information modeling (BIM) element to industry foundation classes (IFC) entity mappings need to be checked to ensure the semantic integrity of BIM models. Existing studies have demonstrated that machine learning algorithms trained on geometric features are able to classify BIM elements, thereby enabling the checking of these mappings. However, reliance on geometry is limited, especially for elements with similar geometric features. This study investigated the employment of relational data between elements, with the assumption that such additions provide higher classification performance. Neural structured learning, a novel approach for combining structured graph data as features to machine learning input, was used to realize the experiment. Results demonstrated that a significant improvement was attained when trained and tested on eight BIM element types with their relational semantics explicitly represented.

In this paper development of an automatic grid generation program for flow field calculation around 3D wing is described and its application is also introduced. The program is developed by using JAVA programming language and a graphic library, JOGL, and it can be usee either as an application program on a local computer or as a applet in the network environment. Currently, The program provides NACA series 4-digit airfoils as the wing cross-section shape and it offers a non-complicated GUI program which can easily generate structured grids for wings based on user's parameter input. Grid generated by the program can be selected as one of two types; O-type and C-type. In this research advancing layer method(ALM) augmented by elliptic smoothing method is used for the FLUENT. It is shown that by using current program high-quality structured grids around 3D wings can be easily generated, and typical grid generation results and flow solutions are demonstrated. Study on effects of geometric parameters on flow field is also tried by changing major wing parameters such as incidence angle type of wing-tip and sweepback angle.
