Discrete-Time Output Feedback Sliding Mode Control For Uncertain Systems, Ming-Chang Pai
Discrete-Time Output Feedback Sliding Mode Control For Uncertain Systems, Ming-Chang Pai
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
This paper presents a discrete-time output feedback sliding mode control to stabilize a class of linear uncertain systems in which the state is unavailable and no estimated state is required. The proposed sliding mode controller is derived to guarantee the existence of quasi-sliding mode by using output feedback only and the stability of overall closed-loop system is assured. This scheme ensures the robustness against parametric uncertainties and disturbances. Neither chattering phenomenon will occur nor the knowledge of upper bound of uncertainties is required. Simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed control methodology.

Variable-Thickness Boundary Layers For Sliding Mode Control, Chyun-Chau Fuh
Variable-Thickness Boundary Layers For Sliding Mode Control, Chyun-Chau Fuh
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
Sliding mode control is a nonlinear feedback control technique which provides good robustness against modeling uncertainties and external disturbances. However, as the uncertainties or disturbances increase, a greater control input is required, and the control signal may cause an undesirable chattering phenomenon. In general, the further the system trajectory from the origin, the more violent the chattering effect. However, as the trajectory moves closer to the origin, the degree of chattering gradually reduces. As a result, even if an attempt is made to eliminate chattering by introducing a small constant boundary layer around the sliding surface, the chattering phenomenon may …

The Manpower Supply Planning And Shift Setting For Mass Rapid Transit Carriage Maintenance In Short-Term Operations, Shangyao Yan, Chia-Hung Chen, Miawjane Chen
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
An effective carriage maintenance plan cannot only reduce the mass rapid transit system operating costs, but is also directly related to its safety and schedule punctuality. Traditionally, the arrangement of the carriage maintenance manpower supply has been based on staff experience, and has been performed manually following simple rules. This is not only time-consuming but often ineffective. Therefore, in this research, we incorporate flexible management strategies, different combinations of principles, and the related operating constraints, to develop a basic carriage maintenance manpower supply plan model. Furthermore, we construct an integrated model by modifying the basic model, which can help an …

Determining The Repair Ranking Of Existing Rc Bridges Using Multi-Pole Fuzzy Pattern Recognition Evaluation Method, Ming-Te Liang, Ting- Bang Chu, Wen-Hu Tsao, Chi-Jang Yeh
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
This paper proposes a technique for determining the repair ranking of existing reinforced concrete (RC) bridges using the multi-pole fuzzy pattern recognition evaluation method. The differences between bridges and grades are expressed by weighted generalized weight distance. To find the optimal relative membership degree of an evaluated bridge attributed to any grade, the operative principle is that the sum of the square of weighted generalized weight distance is minimum. Based on this principle, the problem of extreme value is established by the objective function in connection with constraint condition. Using the Lagrangean method, the multi-pole fuzzy pattern recognition evaluation method …

Developing A Convective Code With Vorticity Transport In Upwind Method, Je -Ee Ho
Developing A Convective Code With Vorticity Transport In Upwind Method, Je -Ee Ho
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
The Navier-Strokes equations are usually used to solve the convective problems, however, to satisfy the conversation of mass, the uncertainty of pressure terms will easily trigger off the numerical divergence during the iterative process; which results in a calculating failure and makes the numerical solutions impossible. In this study, a vorticity–transport method that avoids the involvement of pressure terms by cross differentiate the governing equations and meets the flow conservation with stream function was proposed. With the aid of the upwind scheme and implicit method, an effective transformation from the partial differential equations into the vortex potential algebraic equations would …

The Profitability Of The Weekend Effect: Evidence From The Taiwan Mutual Fund Market, Mei-Chen Lin, Miawjane Chen
The Profitability Of The Weekend Effect: Evidence From The Taiwan Mutual Fund Market, Mei-Chen Lin, Miawjane Chen
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
In this research we first investigated the day-of-the-week effect in the Taiwan mutual fund market. The results revealed significantly negative Monday returns and positive Friday returns. This weekend effect did not vary greatly between the early and later periods of the month. In the absence of transaction costs, weekend trading strategies, both simple and complex, can increase returns and moderate risk. Finally, the pattern triggered by macroeconomic news can only partially subsume the weekend effects of fund returns.

Journal of Marine Science and Technology
Internal solitary wave propagation over a submarine ridge causes energy dispersion. Under this condition, the hydrodynamic interaction between the wave and ridge affects the oceanographic and marine environment. This study investigates how ridge height and potential energy affect wave-ridge interaction using a cumulative regression model. Three probability functions 1 pˆ , 2 pˆ and 3 pˆ , are utilized to investigate weighted influence of elements on wave reflection. Deviance and Pearson tests are employed to assess the goodness-of-fit of the proposed model and to improve the overdispersion problem. The cumulative logistic regression model demonstrates that bathymetry induced internal wave reflection …
