The proposed SASMC for the 2nd order nonlinear systems can overcome the drawbacks due to SMC. It can achieve a smaller mean tracking error than SMC, suppress chattering due to SMC, improve transient response due to modeling error, and reduce the gain of the controller.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121879329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both procedures comprise two major components: feature extraction and fuzzy K-NN based pattern classification. For the weld identification application, the weld image is processed line-by-line and three features are extracted for each object in each line image. These features are: the width, the mean square error (MSE) between the object and its Gaussian, and the peak intensity. For the tool failure application, two features: /spl Delta/RMS and peak/count ratio, are derived from AE signals generated by the cutting operation. The use of the fuzzy K-NN classifier and the classification results are discussed. The results of this study indicate that the fuzzy K-NN based procedures produce a high successful rate of recognition for both applications.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131480520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The iterative technique is capable of representing a class of dynamical systems as static multidimensional mappings. The practical solution of the prediction problem is strongly related with the availability of suitable representations of multidimensional mappings. The proposed technique, belonging to the memory-based techniques, highly reduces the memory amount required to store the representation of the mapping. The iterative technique is very well suited to work in conjunction with an associative memory structure as the monodimensional CMAC and in presence of on-fly data. An application example to dynamical system output prediction is presented. Moreover, a convergence discussion for the proposed algorithm is provided. Finally, computer simulations verify the stated theory.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133429571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Producing quality items of all types, electronic, mechanical, etc. requires effective techniques of sampling and testing. The impact of manufacturing a large number of defective items, can be very costly for both the consumer and the producer, especially if the search for the cause(s) of inaccuracies requires shutting down the facility for an unspecified period of time. In most cases inaccuracies occur due to bias, imprecision, and failure to predict the mean time before failure for items that perform in a satisfactory condition for a short period of time. In this paper all the variables specified were modified by considering all possible causes of inaccuracies that are critical in classifying the items manufactured as quality items. The Bayesian mathematical form of the cost equation was formulated as a function of the upper and lower limits relative to the quality characteristic X under investigation, the mean of X which was assumed as a variable, the variance of X, and the cost parameters. Both possibilities of predictable and unpredictable sampling accuracy were considered. The cost function was optimized to estimate the optimal sample size. The sample size was implemented together with the distribution of the fraction defective, and the two types of error I and II to estimate a set of decision points, and to construct the X~ chart for testing and for lot disposition.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132298432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
