Backlash is one of several discontinuities found in different kinds of systems, it can be found in actuators of different types, such as mechanical and hydraulic, giving way to unwanted effects in the system behavior. PI loop shaping control design implementing a describing function to find the...

This paper presents a novel approach to real time automatic flood control in a managed river network that is subject to uncertain inflows. The proposed approach uses multiple models to represent inflows ranging from low to high flow. Optimal model selection is achieved in a minimum mean square...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the properties of the classical goodness of fit test statistics X 2 , G 2 , GM 2 , and NM 2 in testing quality of process represented as the trinomial distribution with dip null hypothesis and to devise a control chart for the trinomial...
