Abstract With the recent success of using the time series to vast applications, one would expect its boundless adaptation to problems like nonlinear control and nonlinearity quantification. Though there exist many system identification methods, finding suitable method for identifying a given process is still cryptic. Moreover, to this notch, research on their usage to nonlinear system identification and classification of nonlinearity remains limited. This article hovers around the central idea of developing a ‘kSINDYc’ (key term based Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics with control) algorithm to capture the nonlinear dynamics of typical physical systems. Furthermore, existing two reliable identification methods namely NL2SQ (Nonlinear least square method) and N3ARX (Neural network based nonlinear auto regressive exogenous input scheme) are also considered for all the physical process-case studies. The primary spotlight of present research is to encapsulate the nonlinear dynamics identified for any process with its nonlinearity level through a mathematical measurement tool. The nonlinear metric Convergence Area based Nonlinear Measure (CANM) calculates the process nonlinearity in the dynamic physical systems and classifies them under mild, medium and highly nonlinear categories. Simulation studies are carried-out on five industrial systems with divergent nonlinear dynamics. The user can make a flawless choice of specific identification methods suitable for given process by finding the nonlinear metric (Δ0). Finally, parametric sensitivity on the measurement has been studied on CSTR and Bioreactor to evaluate the efficacy of kSINDYc on system identification.

In this chapter, we describe an important class of engineering problem called system identification which is an essential requirement for obtaining models of system of concern that would be necessary for controlling, analyzing the systems. The system identification problem is essentially to pick up the best model out of the several candidate models. Thus, the problem of system identification or modeling building turns out to be an optimization problem. The chapter explain what are different evolutionary computing techniques used in the past and the state- of the art technologies on evolutionary computation. Then, some case studies have been included how the system identification of a number of complex systems effectively achieved by employing these evolutionary computing techniques.

AbstractIn this work, the effectiveness of the adaptive neural based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) in identifying underactuated systems is illustrated. Two case studies of underactuated systems are used to validate the system identification i. e., linear inverted pendulum (LIP) and rotary inverted pendulum (RIP). Both the systems are treated as benchmark systems in modeling and control theory for their inherit nonlinear, unstable, and underactuated behavior. The systems are modeled with ANFIS using the input-output data acquired from the dynamic response of the nonlinear analytical model of the systems. The dynamic response of the ANFIS model is simulated and compared to the nonlinear mathematical model of the inverted pendulum systems. In order to check the effectiveness of the ANFIS model, mean square error is used as the performance index. From the obtained simulation results, it has been perceived that the ANFIS model performed satisfactorily within the trained operating range while a minor deviation is seen outside the trained operating region for both the case studies. Furthermore, the experimental validation of the of the proposed ANFIS model is done by comparing it with the experimental model of the rotary inverted pendulum. The obtained results show that the response of ANFIS model is in close agreement to the experimental model of the rotary inverted pendulum.

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the issue of corporate sustainability. It examines why achieving sustainability is becoming an increasingly vital issue for society and organisations, defines sustainability and then outlines a set of phases through which organisations can move to achieve increasing levels of sustainability. Case studies are presented of organisations at various phases indicating the benefits, for the organisation and its stakeholders, which can be made at each phase. Finally the paper argues that there is a marked contrast between the two competing philosophies of neo-conservatism (economic rationalism) and the emerging philosophy of sustainability. Management schools have been strongly influenced by economic rationalism, which underpins the traditional orthodoxies presented in such schools. Sustainability represents an urgent challenge for management schools to rethink these traditional orthodoxies and give sustainability a central place in the curriculum.
