ABSTRACT A new approach is developed for vulnerability analysis of monuments based on
a matrix model and the relationships with static and structural factors, climatic conditions, air …

The expert system for predicting the service life of buildings, fuzzy buildings service life
(FBSL), is a computer application that contributes to the preventive conservation of …

In the present work, explicit formula or mathematical model of hedge-algebras-based
controller (HAC) is proposed to represent relationship between control and state variables …

Tuning the seismic control systems in order to achieve optimal performance is a challenging
area due to the system and disturbance uncertainties. Although, model uncertainties …

This paper proposes an effective hybrid control approach through combining together the
proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller and fuzzy logic control method. The …

The hedge algebras theory has the potential to make significant applications in the field of
computational intelligence. The purpose of the present study is to improve the control …

The control of vibration and displacement in structures under seismic excitation is very
challenging, and designing a structural control system against disturbances has drawn great …

Much research has been conducted in recent decades on structural control to improve the
performance of different towers and high-rise buildings against severe earthquakes and …

The optimal value of the expansion factor and quantization factor parameters is the key to
determine the performance of the variable domain fuzzy proportion-integral-derivative (PID) …

This study presents a novel direct model reference fuzzy controller as applied to the control
of a nonlinear system over a network subject to variable network induced time delay. The …
