This paper proposes an efficient system identification method for modeling nonlinear behavior of civil structures. This method is developed by integrating three different methodologies: principal component analysis (PCA), artificial neural networks, and fuzzy logic theory, hence named PANFIS (PCA-based adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system). To evaluate this model, a 3-story building equipped with a magnetorheological (MR) damper subjected to a variety of earthquakes is investigated. To train the input-output function of the PANFIS model, an artificial earthquake is generated that contains a variety of characteristics of recorded earthquakes. The trained model is also validated using the1940 El-Centro, Kobe, Northridge, and Hachinohe earthquakes. The adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is used as a baseline. It is demonstrated from the training and validation processes that the proposed PANFIS model is effective in modeling complex behavior of the smart building. It is also shown that the proposed PANFIS produces similar performance with the benchmark ANFIS model with significant reduction of computational loads.

This paper proposes a neuro­fuzzy controllers for trajectory tracking control of robot manipulators. The computed torque method is an effective means for trajectory tracking control. However, the tracking performance of this method is severely affected by the uncertainties of robot manipulators. Therefore, the proposed controller is used to compensate the uncertainties of robot manipulators. In the neuro­fuzzy controllers, the number of fuzzy rules used forty­nine. The effectiveness of the proposed controllers is demonstrated by computer simulations using two­link robot manipulator, As a result, it is confirmed that the output of the proposed neuro­fuzzy controllers can efficiently decrease the uncertainties of robot manipulator.

In this paper, an stabilization control method using adaptive neuro-fuzzy controller(ANFC) is proposed for modeling of nonlinear complex systems. The proposed adaptive neuro-fuzzy controller implements system structure and parameter identification using the intelligent schemes together with optimization theory, linguistic fuzzy implication rules, and neural networks from input and output data of processes. The results show that the proposed method can produce the intelligence model with higher accuracy than other works achieved previously.

The resistance Spot Welding is widely used in the field of assembling the plates. However we don't still have any satisfactory solution, which is non-destructive quality evaluation in real-time or on-line, against it. Moreover, even though the rate of welding under the condition of expulsion has been high until now, quality control of welding against expulsion hasn't still been established. In this paper, it was proposed on the quality assurance technique of resistance spot welding pieces using Neuro-Fuzzy algorithm. Four parameters from electrode separation signal in the case of non-expulsion, and dynamic resistance patterns in the case of expulsion are selected as fuzzy input parameters. The parameters consist of Fuzzy Inference System are determined through Neuro-Learning algorithm. And then, fuzzy Inference System is constructed. It was confirmed that the fuzzy inference values of strength have within ${\pm}$4% error specimen in comparison with real strength for the total strength range, and the specimen percent having within ${\pm}$1% error was 88.8%. According to KS(Korean Industrial Standard), tensile-shear strength limit for electric coated of zinc is 400kgf/mm2. Judging to the quality of welding is good or bad, according to this criterion and the results of inference, the probability of misjudgement that good quality is valuated into poor one was 0.43%, on contrary it was 2.59%. Finally, the proposed Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System can infer the tensile-shear strength of resistance spot welding pieces with high performance for all cases-non-expulsion and expulsion. And On-Line Welding Quality Inspection System will be realized sooner or later.

In this Paper, we Propose a new neuro-fuzzy modeling using clustering-based learning method. In the proposed clustering method, number of clusters is automatically inferred and its parameters are optimized simultaneously, Also, a neuro-fuzzy model is learned based on clustering information at same time. In the previous modelling method, clustering and model learning are performed independently and have no exchange of its informations. However, in the proposed method, overall neuro-fuzzy model is generated by using both clustering and model learning, and the information of modelling output is used to clustering of input. The proposed method improve the computational load of modeling using Subtractive clustering method. Simulation results show that the proposed method has an effectiveness compared with the previous methods.

Many processes such as machining, injection-moulding and metal-forming are usually operated by hydraulic servo-systems. The dynamic characteristics of these systems are complex and highly non-linear and are often subjected to the uncertain external disturbances associated with the processes. Consequently, the conventional approach to the controller design for these systems may not guarantee accurate tracking control performance. An effective neuro-fuzzy controller is proposed to realize an accurate hydraulic servo-system regardless of the uncertainties and the external disturbances. For this purpose, first, we develop a simplified fuzzy logic controller which have multidimensional and unsymmetric membership functions. Secondly, we develop a neural network which consists of the parameters of the fuzzy logic controller. It is show that the neural network has both learning capability and linguistic representation capability. The proposed controller was implemented on a hydraulic servo-system. Feedback error learning architecture is adopted which uses the feedback error directly without passing through the dynamics or inverse transfer function of the hydraulic servo-system to train the neuro-fuzzy controller. A series of simulations was performed for the position-tracking control of the system subjected to external disturbances. The results of simulations show that regardless of inherent non-linearities and disturbances, an accuracy tracking-control performance is obtained using the proposed neuro-fuzzy controller.

The main idea of the proposed neuro-fuzzy system is conditional clustering whose main objective is to develop clusters preserving homogeneity of the clustered patterns with regard to their similarity in the input space as well as their respective values assumed in the output space. In the proposed neuro-fuzzy system, the structure identification is used with conditional fuzzy clustering, the parameter identification carried out by the hybrid learning scheme using back-propagation and total least squares.

It has been established that a crack has an important effect on the dynamic behavior of a structure. This effect depends mainly on the location and depth of the crack. Toidentifythelocation and depth of a crack in a structure, a method is presented in this paper which uses neuro-fuzzy-evolutionary technique, that is, Adaptive-Network-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) solved via hybrid learning algorithm (the back-propagation gradient descent and the least-squares method) and Continuous Evolutionary Algorithms (CEAs) solving sir ale objective optimization problems with a continuous function and continuous search space efficiently are unified. With this ANFIS and CEAs, it is possible to formulate the inverse problem. ANFIS is used to obtain the input(the location and depth of a crack) - output(the structural Eigenfrequencies) relation of the structural system. CEAs are used to identify the crack location and depth by minimizing the difference from the measured frequencies. We have tried this new idea on beam structures and the results are promising.

Recent trend changes a criterion for evaluation of humors that environmental problems are raised as a global issue. Burners with higher thermal efficiency and lower oxygen in the exhaust gas, evaluated better. To comply with environmental regulations, burners must satisfy the NO/sub x/ and CO regulation. Consequently, 'good burner'means one whose thermal efficiency is high under the constraint of NO/sub x/ and CO consistency. To make existing burner satisfy recent criterion, it is highly recommended to develop a feedback control scheme whose output is the consistency of NO/sub x/ and CO. This paper describes the development of a real time flame diagnosis technique that evaluate and diagnose the combustion states, such as consistency of components in exhaust gas, stability of flame in the quantitative sense. In this paper, it was proposed on the flame diagnosis technique of burner using Neuro-Fuzzy algorithm. This study focuses on the relation of the color of the flame and the state of combustion. Neuro-Fuzzy loaming algorithm is used in obtaining the fuzzy membership function and rules. Using the constructed inference algorithm, the amount of NO/sub x/ and CO of the combustion gas was successfully inferred.

This paper presents an adaptive fuzzy controller using an neural network and adaptation algorithm. Reference-model following neuro-fuzzy controller(RMFNFC) is invesgated in order to overcome the difficulty of rule selecting and defects of the membership function in the general fuzzy logic controller(FLC). RMFNFC is developed to tune various parameter of the fuzzy controller which is used for the discrete nonlinear system control. RMFNFC is trained with the identification information and control closed loop error. A closed loop error is used for design criteria of a fuzzy controller which characterizes and quantize the control performance required in the overall control system. A control system is trained up the controller with the variation of the system obtained from the identifier and closed loop error. Numerical examples are presented to control of the discrete nonlinear system. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
