Experimental Comparison of Type-1 and Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controllers for the Control of Level and Temperature in a Vessel
2011
Abstract The objective of this experimental study is to compare the performance of type-1 and type-2 fuzzy logic controllers on a real system where the control of liquid level and temperature are considered. By the use of genetic algorithms it is possible to optimize the fuzzy sets of each fuzzy controller assuring high control performance. The experimental results show that a better control in terms of robustness can be achieved by type-2 fuzzy logic controllers.
Solving type-2 assembly line balancing problem with fuzzy binary linear programming
2013
This paper deals with the use of fuzzy set theory as a viable alternative method for modelling and solving the stochastic assembly line balancing problem. This paper presents a fuzzy extension of the simple assembly line balancing problem of type 2 SALBP-2 with fuzzy job processing times since uncertainty, variability, and imprecision are often occurred in real-world production systems. The job processing times are formulated by triangular fuzzy membership functions using their statistical distributions. This study proposes to solve a Fuzzy Binary Linear Problem FBLP with fuzzy coefficients in the objective function and in a constraint. Finally, the effect of the unbalancing of a station in…
F.A.L.C.A.D.E.: a fuzzy software for the energy and environmental balances of products
2004
Abstract It is generally well known that the reliability of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) studies depends upon exact, complete and sharp input data that, unfortunately, are not always available. Furthermore, when available, the input data are affected by uncertainty whose importance is not always adequately taken into consideration. This paper describes the software F.A.L.C.A.D.E. (Fuzzy Approach to Life Cycle Analysis and Decision Environment): a tool designed for the calculation of the eco-profile of products, based on a fuzzy logic approach. The originality of the method already treated in other papers is to use the fuzzy representation to manage the complex relationships that arise in compi…
