Application of Artificial Neural Networks in Optimizing Polyhouse Roof Truss Design
Abstract: Polyhouses are specialised agricultural structures developed to maintain controlled environmental conditions for crop cultivation, thereby ensuring consistent productivity even under adverse climatic circumstances. The performance of these systems largely relies on the structural stability and cost efficiency of the roof truss, which must achieve an effective balance between strength, adaptability, and economy. In this research, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-based modelling framework is introduced to optimise the members of polyhouse …

Sensor Less Control of PMSM using SMC and SMO
Abstract: Some particular PMSM applications do not allow for the proper mounting or use of position sensors. A number of PMSM control problems can be resolved with sensorless PMSM control. It is crucial to have a precise predicted position while avoiding the chattering issue for sensorless PMSM control. This paper establishes a prerequisite for a sliding mode observer (SMO) to enter a sliding surface and offers a sigmoid-based algorithm for position …
