The paper presents a performance analysis of global-local mean square error criterion of stochastic linearization for some nonlinear oscillators. This criterion of stochastic linearization for nonlinear oscillators bases on dual conception to the local mean square error criterion (LOMSEC). The algorithm is generally built to multi degree of freedom (MDOF) nonlinear oscillators. Then, the performance analysis is carried out for two applications which comprise a rolling ship oscillation and two degree of freedom one. The improvement on accuracy of the proposed criterion has been shown in comparison with the conventional Gaussian equivalent linearization (GEL).

Double-cylinder parallel manipulators are closed-loop two-degree-of-freedom linkages. They are preferred to use because of their simplicity plus the common advantages of parallel manipulators such as high stiffness, load-bearing, operation speed and precision positioning. Like other parallel manipulators, the output motion of double-cylinder parallel manipulators is not as flexible as two-degree-of-freedom serial manipulators. The motion performance analysis plays a critical role for this type of parallel manipulator to be applied successfully. In this paper, the linkage feasibility conditions are established based on the transmission angle. When feasibility conditions are satisfied, there is no dead position during operation. The workspace is generated by using curve-enveloping theory. The singularity characteristics are analyzed within the workspace. The motion performance index contours within the workspace are produced using the condition number of the manipulator Jacobian matrix. The results of this paper provide guidelines to apply this type of parallel manipulator.

A geometric and kinematic study between two structures of robots was performed, respectively a mechanical anthropomorphic structure, with bars and gears, with four degree of freedom, (dof), redundant (4R), which can avoid obstacles and a parallel manipulator with translation on three axes (3T). This 3T structural solution allows rapid and precise movements, which are important characteristics for machine building industry. All these features make the parallel manipulator to be an attractive alternative to the serial ones for high precision operations in a limited workspace.

Automatic generation control (AGC) is an automation scheme that regulates the output of several generators employed at different areas of an interconnected power system simultaneously in response to load variation in the most economical way. This article implements a fuzzy-two degree of freedom-PID controller considering derivative filter (F-2D-PIDF) optimally tuned through grasshopper optimization algorithms (GOA) for AGC of a three unequal area interconnected power system. Initially, comparative performance analysis is carried out for conventional PID controllers optimally designed by particle swarm optimization, teaching learning-based optimization and GOA techniques. After ensuring better performance from GOA based PID controller, the study extended to establish dominance of the proposed F-2D-PIDF controller over others like PID, PID with derivative filter (PIDF), two degree of freedom-PIDF, and fuzzy-PIDF for the same power system in presence and absence of nonlinearities with GOA framework. In all these above studies, a load perturbation of 0.01 p.u. is applied in area-1. Comparative performance analysis reveals that GOA based F-2D-PIDF controller outperforms other controllers in all aspects. Finally, robustness of the proposed controller verified by varying system parameters and loading condition.

Double-slider parallel manipulators are closed-loop two-degree-of-freedom linkages. They are preferred to use because of their simplicity plus the common advantages of parallel manipulators such as high stiffness, load-bearing, operation speed and precision positioning.
