Optimization methodology for tuning fuzzy logic controllers
(2002)IFAC Proceedings Volumes ~ Proceedings of the 15th IFAC World CongressThe scope of this paper is to present an optimization methodology for tuning fuzzy logic controllers used in suspension system for ground vehicles. The proposed optimization method combines the advantages of two categories of optimization algorithms, deterministic and stochastic. Numerical experiments show the improvement in efficiency and reliability of the search for the optimum. The fuzzy logic membership functions are optimized such ...Conference Paper -
Nonlinear functional characterizations of uncertainty in model validation
(2002)IFAC Proceedings Volumes ~ Proceedings of the 15th IFAC World CongressModel validation provides a useful means of assessing the ability of a model to account for a specific experimental observation, and has application to modeling, identifi- cation and fault detection. In this paper we consider a new approach to the linear fractional transformation (LFT) model validation problem by deploying quadratic functionals, and more generally nonlinear functionals, to specify noise and dynamical perturbation sets. ...Conference Paper -
Air detrainment in high-speed chute flows
(2002)Hydraulic Measurements and Experimental Methods 2002Air added to high-speed chute flows is known to reduce the potential of cavitation damage at the chute floor. Therefore hydraulic model experiments using advanced fiber optical instrumentation were conducted to investigate two-phase flows with regard to air detrainment. Two different set-ups for air addition to water flow were studied, namely: (1) Pre-aerated discharge supply, and (2) Chute aerator. Differences between the two set-ups are ...Conference Paper -

Pier and abutment scour - New laboratory data
(2002)Proceedings of First International Conference on Scour of FoundationsThe purpose of this paper is threefold: (1) Presentation of a scour installation used over the past 6 years; (2) Summary of results pertaining to the Shields entrainment criterion that was expanded for bridge pier and bridge abutment; and (3) Discussion of new results. Based on a long term investigation of scour, the experimental method was improved to result presently in an installation that might be of general interest. Accordingly, ...Conference Paper
