3) Calculate a new control input that minimizes the cost function, 4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 until desired minimization is achieved, 5) Send the first control input, to the plant, 6) Repeat entire process for each time step. The... more
Abstract— This paper describes the design and development of hexapod robot with three degrees of freedom (3 DOF) at each leg. The system developed is composed of the mechanical assembly, the circuits used to control the servomotors... more
The analytical determination of internal rate of return (IRR) is computationally demanding and the computational labour tends to be compounded as the project life becomes longer. Although some commercial software exist for computing the... more
The paper is about Newton Raphson Method which is all inclusive to solve the non-square and non-linear problems. The study also aims to comparing the rate of performance, rate of convergence of bisection method, root finding of the Newton... more
This paper presents the combination of two different methods to perform the waveform analysis for PWM-operated inverter. The two techniques are Newton-Raphson method and Curve-Fitting as a PWM concept to operate PWM-based inverter, the... more

Abstract Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices have been proposed to be effective for controlling power flow and regulating bus voltage in electrical power systems, resulting in an increased transfer... more
A high order shear deformation theory is used to develop a discrete model for the sensitivity analysis and optimization of laminated plate and shell structures in non-linear response. The geometrically non-linear analysis is based on an... more
The paper presents the water network optimization by selecting the optimal pipe diameters for steady state flow and water hammer. The optimization method used is the Genetic Algorithm (GA). The GA's have been used in solving the water... more
In this paper a Neural Network Model Predictive control is implemented, for this is describe each one of the steps, as the calculus of the function cost derivate, the calculus of the first and second derivate of the neural network and... more
