A detailed literature review of the recent advances in hybrid vibration-control systems was
presented in this article. In the literature, a combination of two or more vibration-control …

This chapter describes some of the recent studies on the optimal control of structures.
Initially, different passive, active and semi-active control devices are introduced and the …

Optimization studies on blood pumps that require complex designs are gradually increasing
in number. The essential design criteria of centrifugal blood pump are minimum shear stress …

Solar chimney systems which consist of three main parts (collector, chimney, turbine) are
one of the main thermal methods that produce electricity using solar energy. In a solar …

Background and objective Side effects that may occur when using blood pumps for
treatment of patients are the main limitations on pump rotational speed determination. Efforts …

This article discusses the issue of optimizing controller design issues, in which the artificial
intelligence (AI) evolutionary bat (EB) optimization algorithm is combined with the fuzzy …

Introduction This paper proposes an optimal active vibration control system to control an
active tuned mass damper (ATMD), which can help reduce the seismic structural damages …

This work aims to improve the performance of the Bees Algorithm (BA), particularly in terms
of simplicity, accuracy, and convergence. Three improvements were made in this study as a …

This paper presents a sensitivity analysis on the performance of optimal proportional–
integral–derivative (PID) controller for use in nonlinear smart base-isolated structures with …

In order to address the problems of insufficient load capacity and rotor vibration, an active
fluid-film bearing lubricated with magnetorheological fluid (MRF) is proposed. First, the …
