Control of Inverted Pendulum Based on Differential Evolution Abstract: Fuzzy control is an efficient method for the control of nonlinear‚ uncertain plants. Although satisfactory performance can be achieved with the fuzzy control method‚ its performance can still be improved‚ if some optimization algorithms are used to tune some of its parameters. In this paper‚ we testify the performance of the fuzzy logic for the inverted pendulum system and utilize the Differential Evolution algorithm to optimize the

Doctor Gary Hall Differential Equations March 2013 Differential Equations in Mechanical Engineering Often times college students question the courses they are required to take and the relevance they have to their intended career. As engineers and scientists we are taught‚ and even “wired” in a way‚ to question things through-out our lives. We question the way things work‚ such as the way the shocks in our car work to give us a smooth ride back and forth to school‚ or what really happens to an

Definition Have you ever asked yourself why certain individuals become criminals? Differential association theory is a theory in criminology which aims to answer this question. This theory was developed by Edwin H. Sutherland‚ who was a sociologist and a professor. He created the theory to explain the reasons why people commit crime. The theory is based upon the idea that criminals commit crimes based upon their association with other people. Basically‚ criminal behavior is learned by

Sam’s offending can be explained through the application of the social theory‚ Differential Association. Differential Association is a social theory developed by Edwin Sutherland‚ a renowned sociologist. The function of the theory Sutherland developed attempts to explain how people learn behaviors and motivations of criminal activities from those they associate with‚ and justify these acts as regular behaviors‚ perceiving them as gratifying (James Cook University). This theory is applied to Sam’s

Compare and Contrast; Anomie Strain and Differential Opportunity Theories Introduction- This paper will cover Anomie Strain‚ and Differential Opportunity theory. This will be done by an overview and explanations of the two theories‚ and by comparing and contrasting the theories based on the explanations Robert Merton‚ Richard Cloward‚ and Lloyd Ohlin proposes. To begin‚ the question that inspired Robert Merton‚ Richard Cloward and Lloyd Ohlin was to explore what was the cause and explanation
