    Orientador: Milton Dias JuniorDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia MecânicaResumo: As instalações em alto mar possuem linhas de ancoragem, chamadas de amarras, para proporcionar estabilidade, suporte e sustentação às estruturas. Essas linhas de ancoragem são geralmente compostas por cabos, correntes e cordas de fibra sintética. Quando a solicitação de carga é alta, as linhas de ancoragem devem ser constituídas por corrente. O monitoramento da força atuando nestas correntes é vital para a confiabilidade e segurança da produção de energia. Os métodos atuais para supervisionar as cargas nas amarras são caros e têm muitas incertezas envolvidas. Nesse contexto, propõe-se uma nova metodologia para a estimativa de força em correntes através da medição de suas frequências naturais. Um sistema de inferência difuso e otimizado por um algoritmo genético foi desenvolvido para estimar da carga nas correntes. As entradas dos modelos difusos são as frequências naturais das correntes e a saída é a força estimada. As metodologias Mamdani e Sugeno foram implementadas e comparadas. Funções de pertinência triangular e gaussiana foram usadas para modelar as entradas e a saída. As regras foram definidas de acordo com as relações entre as frequências naturais e a força na corrente. Para otimizar o sistema, o algoritmo genético pode usar como dados de treinamento os resultados fornecidos por um modelo matemático ou por um conjunto de medições. O modelo matemático desenvolvido apresenta boa concordância com os dados experimentais. O modelo genético difuso foi simulado e testado, fornecendo boa precisão na estimativa da força. Finalmente, demonstrou-se que a fuzzificação não singleton pode ser uma ferramenta útil quando as entradas são ruidosasAbstract: Offshore facilities have mooring lines to provide stability, support and holding to the structures. These mooring lines are commonly made up of synthetic fiber ropes, cables and chains. When the load solicitation is high, the mooring lines must be made up of chain. The monitoring of the strength of these chains is vital for the reliability and security of the production of energy. The current methods for supervising the loads on the chains are expensive and have many uncertainties involved. In this context, it is proposed a new methodology for the force estimation in chains through the measurements of their natural frequencies. The present dissertation arises as an improvement of this approach. A fuzzy inference system optimized by a genetic algorithm is introduced to enhance the estimation of the load on the chains. The inputs of the fuzzy models are the natural frequencies of the chains and the output is the estimated force. The Mamdani and Sugeno methodologies were implemented and compared. Triangular and Gaussian membership functions were used to model the inputs and the output. The rules were set according to the relations between the natural frequencies and the force on the chain. To optimize the system, the genetic algorithm can use the results provided by a mathematical model or by a set of measurements as training data. The mathematical model has good agreement with the experimental data. The fuzzy genetic model was simulated and tested providing good accuracy in estimating the force. In addition, the non-singleton fuzzification demonstrated that can be a helpful tool when the entries are noisyMestradoMecanica de Solidos e Projeto MecanicoMestre em Engenharia Mecânica33003017CAPE

    A Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Inference System for Developing a Sustainability Index of Biomass

    One aspect of the use of biomass for energy purposes which remains controversial concerns their full environmental sustainability. Considering the crucial importance of this problem, numerous authors have carried out evaluations of the environmental impact of the various types of biomass by means of several approaches. Although some of these methods are excellent environmental evaluation tools, they are unfortunately unable to manage uncertain input data. Instead, fuzzy-set based methods have proven to be able to deal with uncertainty in environmental topics. The original contributions proposed by fuzzy logic relate, on the one hand, to the representation of uncertain and vague information, and, on the other, to handling such information using fuzzy rules. A fuzzy inference system (FIS) constitutes the practice of framing mapping from the input to an output using fuzzy logic. In this paper, we propose an application of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy inference modelling to build a synthetic index to assess the sustainability of production of the biomass for energy purposes

    Multi-objective optimization of tool wear, surface roughness, and material removal rate in finishing honing processes using adaptive neural fuzzy inference systems

    Honing processes are usually employed to manufacture combustion engine cylinders and hydraulic cylinders. Honing provides a crosshatch pattern that favors the oil flow. In this paper, Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) models were obtained for tool wear, average roughness Ra, cylindricity and material removal rate in finishing honing processes. In addition, multi-objective optimization with the desirability function method was applied, in order to determine the process parameters that allow minimizing roughness, cylindricity error and tool wear, while maximizing material removal rate. The results showed that grain size and tangential velocity should be at their minimum levels, while density, pressure and linear velocity should be at their maximum levels. If only roughness, cylindricity error and tool wear are considered, then low grain size, low pressure and low linear velocity are recommended, while density and tangential velocity vary, depending on the optimization algorithm employed. This work will help to select appropriate process parameters in finishing honing processes, when roughness, cylindricity error and tool wear are to be minimized.The authors would like to thank the company Honingtec S.A. as well as Alejandro Domínguez for their help with the experimental tests.

    Modeling of Optimized Neuro-Fuzzy Logic Based Active Vibration Control Method for Automotive Suspension

    In this thesis, an active vibration control system was developed. The control system was developed and tested using a quarter car model of an adaptive suspension system. For active vibration control, an actuator was implemented in addition to the commonly used passive spring damper system. Due to nature of unpredictability of force required two different fuzzy inference system (FIS) were developed for the actuator. First a sequential fuzzy set was built, that resulted lower vertical displacement compared to basic damper spring model, but system had limited effect with disturbances of higher magnitude and continuous vibrations (rough road). To improve the performance of the sequential fuzzy set, the main fuzzy set was improved using an adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). This model increased the performance substantially, especially for rough road and high magnitude disturbance scenarios. Finally, the suspension’s spring constant and damping co-efficient was optimized using a genetic algorithm to further improve the vibration control properties to achieve a balance of both ride stability and comfort. The final result is improved performance of the suspension system

    A novel fuzzy learning framework that employs fuzzy inference to solve the problem of multiple instance learning (MIL) is presented. The framework introduces a new class of fuzzy inference systems called Multiple Instance Fuzzy Inference Systems (MI-FIS). Fuzzy inference is a powerful modeling framework that can handle computing with knowledge uncertainty and measurement imprecision effectively. Fuzzy Inference performs a non-linear mapping from an input space to an output space by deriving conclusions from a set of fuzzy if-then rules and known facts. Rules can be identified from expert knowledge, or learned from data. In multiple instance problems, the training data is ambiguously labeled. Instances are grouped into bags, labels of bags are known but not those of individual instances. MIL deals with learning a classifier at the bag level. Over the years, many solutions to this problem have been proposed. However, no MIL formulation employing fuzzy inference exists in the literature. In this dissertation, we introduce multiple instance fuzzy logic that enables fuzzy reasoning with bags of instances. Accordingly, different multiple instance fuzzy inference styles are proposed. The Multiple Instance Mamdani style fuzzy inference (MI-Mamdani) extends the standard Mamdani style inference to compute with multiple instances. The Multiple Instance Sugeno style fuzzy inference (MI-Sugeno) is an extension of the standard Sugeno style inference to handle reasoning with multiple instances. In addition to the MI-FIS inference styles, one of the main contributions of this work is an adaptive neuro-fuzzy architecture designed to handle bags of instances as input and capable of learning from ambiguously labeled data. The proposed architecture, called Multiple Instance-ANFIS (MI-ANFIS), extends the standard Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). We also propose different methods to identify and learn fuzzy if-then rules in the context of MIL. In particular, a novel learning algorithm for MI-ANFIS is derived. The learning is achieved by using the backpropagation algorithm to identify the premise parameters and consequent parameters of the network. The proposed framework is tested and validated using synthetic and benchmark datasets suitable for MIL problems. Additionally, we apply the proposed Multiple Instance Inference to the problem of region-based image categorization as well as to fuse the output of multiple discrimination algorithms for the purpose of landmine detection using Ground Penetrating Radar
