High-Performance Inverse Artificial Neural Network Controller for Asynchronous Motor Control by Benyekhlef Kada, Mourad Hebali, Ibrahim Farouk Bouguenna, Benaoumeur Ibari, Menouer Bennaoum

“…These inverse artificial neural networks have been learned from conventional control system (PI controller and vector control) data using MATLAB software. Comparison between the responses of both the classical controller and the IANNs showed the ability and effectiveness of the latter in precisely controlling the three properties of the asynchronous motor, and it also achieved better dynamic motor behavior, speed without overtaking, and good load disturbance rejection, which proves the high performance of these developed IANNs. …”

Analytical Simulation of 3D Wind-Induced Vibrations of Rectangular Tall Buildings in Time Domain by Iván F Huergo, Hugo Hernández-Barrios, Roberto Gómez-Martíne

“…The Monte Carlo simulation method for along-wind loads on tall buildings performed in the time and space domain may be the only analytical viable option for specific problems such as nonlinearity behavior, nonclassically damping, and detailed structural models in commercial software. However, both across-wind and torsional-wind loads due to vortex shedding are not usually simulated in time domain because the vertical decay constants are unknown or the empirical coherence functions cannot be applied in Monte Carlo simulation methods. …”
