A SIMULATION-OPTIMIZATION APPROACH TO DETERMINE OPTIMUM FEATURES OF DETENTION ROCKFILL DAMS UNDER FLOOD CONDITION

A simulation-optimization approach to determine optimum features of detention rockfill dams under flood condition

Detention rockfill dams are one of the structural methods that can control flood risks with no impermeable core or membrane.These dams decrease the maximum discharge of flood hydrograph and postpone the time of its occurrence reducing life and financial losses in downstream.In this research study, maybe for the first time, a new methodology based o

Distributed Cooperative Sliding Mode Fault-Tolerant Control for Multiple High-Speed Trains Based on Actor-Critic Neural Network

This article investigates the cooperative fault-tolerant control problem for multiple high-speed trains (MHSTs) with actuator faults and communication delays.Based on the actor-critic neural network, a distributed sliding mode fault-tolerant controller is designed for MHSTs to solve the problem of actuator faults.To eliminate the negative effects o
