Laminar film condensation of a saturated pure vapor in forced flow over a flat plate is analyzed as boundary layer solutions. Similarity solutions for some real fluids are presented as a function of modified Jakob number (C$\_$pι/ ΔΤ/Prh$\_$fg/) with property ratio (No Abstract.see full/text) and Pγ as parameters and compared with approximate solutions which were obtained from energy and momentum equations without convection and inertia terms in liquid flow. Approximate solutions agree well with the similarity solutions when the values of modified Jakob number are less then 0.1 near 1 atmospheric pressure.

In this paper, an alternative analytical method is presented to evaluate the nonlinear vibration behavior of single and double tapered cantilever beams. The admissible lateral displacement function satisfying the geometric boundary conditions of a single or double tapered cantilever beam is derived by using Rayleigh-Ritz method. Based on the Lagrange method and the Newton Harmonic Balance (NHB) method, analytical approximate solutions in closed and explicit form are obtained. These approximate solutions show excellent agreement with those of numeric method for small as well as large amplitude. Moreover, due to brevity of expressions, the present analytical approximate solutions are convenient to investigate effects of various parameters on the large amplitude vibration response of tapered beams.

Wind-induced vibration of buildings with viscoelastic dampers are studied analytically. The added viscoelastic dampers change the damping distribution and reduce the response of buildings. The distribution of damping resistance that results from these viscoelastic dampers is known as non-classical or non-proportional. Non-classically damped structures are analyzed by state-space approach. However, this approach is complex and time-consumming compared to classical approach. This paper is aimed at the analysis of wind-induced Vibration Of buildings With Viscoelastic dampers. The Process Of State-Space approach is studied and the approximate analysis is suggested to overcome the complex and time-consuming access. For numerical certification, PSDF(Power Spectral Density Function) is obtained. Autocorrelation function is obtained in time domain and PSDF is obtained by fourier transformation of this function in frequency domain. It is found that Approximate method can give close approximation to exact solution.

In this paper, we analyze the effects of scaling factors on the performance of a fuzzy logic controller(FLC). The quantitative relation between input and output variables of FLC is obtained by using a qualsi-linear fuzzy model, and an approximate transfer function of FLC is dervied from the comparison of it with the conventional PID controller. Then we analyze in detail the effects of scaling factor using this approximate transfer function and root locus method. Also we suggest an on-line tuning method for scaling factors which employs an sample performance function and a variable reference for tuning index.

Partially linear regression is capable of providing more complete description of the linear and nonlinear relationships among random variables. In support vector regression (SVR) the hyper-parameters are known to affect the performance of regression. In this paper we propose an iterative reweighted least squares (IRWLS) procedure to solve the quadratic problem of partially linear support vector regression with a modified loss function, which enables us to use the generalized approximate cross validation function to select the hyper-parameters. Experimental results are then presented which illustrate the performance of the partially linear SVR using IRWLS procedure.

The paper describes the construction of global function approximation models for use in design optimization via global search techniques such as genetic algorithms. Two different approximation methods referred to as evolutionary fuzzy modeling (EFM) and neuro-fuzzy modeling (NFM) are implemented in the context of global approximate optimization. EFM and NFM are based on soft computing paradigms utilizing fuzzy systems, neural networks and evolutionary computing techniques. Such approximation methods may have their promising characteristics in a case where the training data is not sufficiently provided or uncertain information may be included in design process. Fuzzy inference system is the central system for of identifying the input/output relationship in both methods. The paper introduces the general procedures including fuzzy rule generation, membership function selection and inference process for EFM and NFM, and presents their generalization capabilities in terms of a number of fuzzy rules and training data with application to a three-bar truss optimization.

In this paper, we describe the algorithm which controls an unknown nonlinear system with multilayer neural network. The multilayer neural network can be used to approximate any continuous function to any desired degree of accuracy. With the former fact, we approximate unknown nonlinear function on the nonlinear system by using of multilayer neural network. The weight-update rule of multilayer neural network is derived to satisfy Lyapunov stability. The whole control system constitutes controller using feedback linearization method. The weight of neural network which is used to implement nonlinear function is updated by the derived update-rule. The proposed control algorithm is verified through computer simulation.

This paper presents a systematic procedure to obtain shape functions of the infinite elements for soil-structure interaction analysis. The function spaces are derived from the analytical solutions and appropriate assumptions based on physical interpretation. The function spaces are complete for the surface wave components, but approximate for the body wave components. Three different infinite elements are developed by using the wave functions of the derived function spaces. Numerical example analysis is presented for demonstrating the effectiveness of the present infinite elements.

In this paper, we introduce Baldwin's approximate reasoning with fuzzy logic and some truth function mappings usually used in Baldwin's method. And we introduce some assessment criteria for approximate reasonings and we define some truth function mappings which satisfy more criteria than those which are already known.

This paper was researched the straight cruise of fish robot according to biological mimic, and it was compared the proposed method which was considered up to 7th order components in fourier series of Liu's tail motion function with the approximate method which was used general sine function by simulation. If fish robot has a large number of links and if the length of tail link is long. The end rotary joint trajectory of tail motion function generally is different from sine function. Therefore The approximate method which expresses tail motion trajectories as fundamental component in fourier series has a problem. Through the computer simulation, the proposed method showed 10% excellent propulsion and velocity than the conventional method.
