This notion of IFSs favours the intermingling of the uncertainty index in membership functions. The uncertainty index is basically generated from a lot of parameters such as lack of awareness, historical information, situation, short of standard terminologies, etc. Hence, the uncertainty index appended finding the membership grade under IFSs needs additional enhancement. Then, the concept of a moderator intuitionistic fuzzy set (MIFS) is defined by adding a parameter in the IFSs environment to make the uncertain behaviour more accurate. In this chapter, some new moderator intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid aggregation operators are presented on the basis of averaging and geometric point of views to aggregate moderator intuitionistic fuzzy information. Then, a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach is provided and successfully implemented to real-life problems of candidate selection.","PeriodicalId":326058,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Fuzzy Logic Approaches in Engineering Science","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123418869","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}

Nevertheless, some difficulties related to the lack of consistent methodologies to analyze the efficiency and water quality are verified. The chapter applies a methodology based in an adaptive neutral fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) approach to assess water quality. With this purpose, a water quality index is developed through a fuzzy reasoning. The relative importance of water quality indicators involved in the fuzzy inference process is modeled using a multi-attribute decision-aiding method. In recent years, fuzzy-logic-based methods have demonstrated to be appropriate to address uncertainty and subjectivity in environmental problems.","PeriodicalId":326058,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Fuzzy Logic Approaches in Engineering Science","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130615703","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}

In this chapter, it is observed that existing intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein hybrid aggregation operators do not follow the idempotency and boundedness. This leads to sometimes illogical and even absurd results to the decision maker. Hence, some new intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein hybrid aggregation operators such as the new intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein hybrid weighted averaging (IFEHWA) and the new intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein hybrid weighted geometric (IFEHWG) were developed. The new IFEHWA and IFEHWG operators can weigh the arguments as well as their ordered positions the same as the intuitionistic fuzzy Einstein hybrid aggregation operators do. Further, it is validated that the defined operators are idempotent, bounded, monotonic and commutative. Then, based on the developed approach, a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) procedure is given. Finally, a numerical example is conducted to demonstrate the proposed method effectively.","PeriodicalId":326058,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Fuzzy Logic Approaches in Engineering Science","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121654065","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}

Control parameters like electrolyte concentration (C), voltage (V), depth of cut (D) and electrolyte flow rate (F) have been considered for experimentation. The response data are initially trained and tested by using Artificial Neural Network. The contradictory responses like higher material removal rate (MRR), lower surface roughness (Ra), lower overcut (OC) and lower cutting force (Fc) are ensured individually by employing Firefly Algorithm. A multi-response optimization for all the responses is done initially by using the Genetic algorithm. Finally, in order to obtain a single set of parametric combination for all the output simultaneously fuzzy based Grey Relational Analysis technique is adopted. These natures driven soft computing techniques corroborates well during the parametric optimization of the electrochemical grinding process.","PeriodicalId":326058,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Fuzzy Logic Approaches in Engineering Science","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131948085","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}

Given the increasing trend of FL in machining, the chapter reviews the application of fuzzy logic in modelling and controlling the machining processes. The work begins with introduction section and then proceeds to discuss the importance role played by FL strategies in the traditional and modern manufacturing processes. The work summarizes some of the major applications of FL-based systems in various machining processes. Limitations, advantages, and the improvements to minimize the limitations are then discussed.
