A novel usage of neural network in optimization and implementation to the internal flow systems

To propose a robust and more effective algorithm for aerodynamic design optimization problem by using neural network.

Non‐linear feedback optimal control law for minimum‐time injection problem using fuzzy system

To devise a new technique to synthesise optimal feedback control law for non‐linear dynamic systems through fuzzy logic.

Observation of induction motor parameters

This paper aims to present an observer application for a squirrel cage induction motor, which is a complex non‐linear system with parameter variations.

Maneuvers and vibration suppression of flexible spacecraft with input nonlinearities

To provide an approach to vibration reduction of flexible spacecraft which operates in the presence of various disturbances, model uncertainty and control input non‐linearities…

Vibrations of the walls of a rectangular duct containing fluid flow

Investigate the vibrations of the walls of a rectangular channel through which fluid flows.

Turbulent mixing enhancement with a 10° chute mixer

Turbulent mixing of two co‐axial jets having a low annular to core area ratio is enhanced by employing a chute mixer, directing part of the annular stream at 10° towards the core…
