This study concerns the derivation of optimum tuning formulas for a passive Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) device, for the case of benchmark ideal excitations acting on a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) damped primary structure. The free TMD parameters are tuned first through a non-linear gradient-based optimisation algorithm, for the case of harmonic or white noise excitations, acting either as force on the SDOF primary structure or as base acceleration. The achieved optimum TMD parameters are successively interpolated according to appropriate analytical fitting proposals, by non-linear least squares, in order to produce simple and effective TMD tuning formulas. In particular, two fitting models are presented. The main proposal is composed of a simple polynomial relationship, refined within the fitting process, and constitutes the optimum choice. A second model refers to proper modifications of literature formulas for the case of an undamped primary structure. The results in terms of final (interpolated) optimum TMD parameters and of device effectiveness in reducing the structural dynamic response are finally displayed and discussed in detail, showing the wide and ready-to-use validity of the proposed optimisation procedure and achieved tuning formulas. Several post-tuning trials have been carried out as well on SDOF and MDOF shear-type frame buildings, by confirming the effective benefit provided by the proposed optimum TMD.

In this paper, the design of an optimum single input Fuzzy controller for application in dc to ac converters is presented. Contrary to conventional Fuzzy controllers, the proposed controller has a smaller number of rules and tuning parameters but is capable of performing identically to a conventional controller. These benefits lead to a simpler controller design. The controller is designed as a PI controller for small-signal disturbances. However, for optimum large-signal performance, heuristic tuning is used. The tuning is less complicated and hence optimum large-signal performance is achievable. The system is simulated and a hardware prototype was developed for comparison purposes.

In this paper, we propose a PID-PD controller and its tuning method to be modified form of PID controller that consist of the affine set of PID and PI-PD controller by analyzing relation between these controllers. The proposed tuning method controls the closed-loop system to locate between the step responses of system controlled by PID and PI-PD controller. The controller is designed by the optimum tuning method to minimize the proposed specific cost functions. Its effectiveness is examined by the case studies and their analysis.

The controller is designed by the optimum tuning method to minimize the proposed specific cost function subject to sensor noise insensitivity and robust stability. Its effectiveness is examined by the case study and analysis.

This paper describes combustion tuning methodology of double-swirl gas turbine combustor using six sigma tools. This methodology is consist of five steps-Define, Identify, Design, Optimize and Verify (DIDOV). First, the NOx reduction target was defined in the step design; second, the current status of the plant was diagnosed in the step of identify; third, the vital few control parameters to achieve the defined target were determined by analyzing the correlation between the control parameters and NOx emissions in the step of design; fourth, the optimum condition was derived from one of the six sigma tools in the step of optimize; finally, the optimum condition was verified by applying the condition to the gas turbine combustor in the step of verify. As a result of the suggested method, averaged NOx emissions were reduced by more than 70% and the standard deviation was improved by more than 60%. Thus, this methodology can be attributed to the efficient reduction of NOx emission with saving combustion tuning time.

The optimum damping and tuning frequency ratio of the tuned mass damper-inerter (TMDI) for the base-isolated structure is obtained using the numerical searching technique under stationary white-noise and filtered white-noise earthquake excitation. The minimization of the isolated structure's mean-square relative displacement and absolute acceleration, as well as the maximization of the energy dissipation index, were chosen as the criteria for optimality. Using a curve-fitting technique, explicit formulae for TMDI damping and tuning frequency for white-noise excitation are then derived. The proposed empirical expressions for TMDI parameters are found to have a negligible error, making them useful for the effective design of base-isolated structures. The effectiveness of TMDI and its optimum parameters are influenced by the soil condition and isolation frequency, according to the comparison made of the optimized parameters and response with different soil profiles. The effectiveness of an optimally designed TMDI in controlling the displacement and acceleration response of the flexible isolated structure under real and pulse-type earthquakes is also observed and found to be increased as the inertance mass ratio increases.
