Traditional databases use only crisp data and they are only capable of manipulating them using Boolean logic, while in a reasonable number of situations we are faced with uncertain, approximate and vague data. In those situations, it may not be reasonable to transform these data into crisp forms. Fuzzy databases, on the other hand, are capable of storing and retrieving both, crisp and non-crisp data and to manipulate them using fuzzy logic. This paper proposes a possibility-based fuzzy relational database management system. Mechanisms to design and implement the database are shown and query processing methods are described. Fuzzy queries are first translated into SQL and then passed to the MS-SQL server to process them. The result is finally fuzzified. A user can express his (her) request using linguistic terms and can choose different retrieval threshold values. The system is then used to store information about patients whose bone density is measured for diagnosis of osteoporosis. It is shown to be more flexible and has produced more accurate results compared to a crisp database}, keywords = {Fuzzy relational data model,database,fuzzy query processing,Osteoporosis}, url = {https://ijste.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1039.html}, eprint = {} } @article { author = {}, title = {Position control of three-phase induction motors using sliding mode control strategy and its implementation}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Science and Technology Transactions of Electrical Engineering}, volume = {27}, number = {4}, pages = {669-678}, year = {2013}, publisher = {Shiraz University}, issn = {2228-6179}, eissn = {}, doi = {10.22099/ijste.2013.1040}, abstract = {Speed control of induction motors has been the focus of attention in previous last decades, but controlling the position of rotor of induction motors has received little attention. In induction motors, the rotor voltage is induced by a stator field, therefore producing static torque and controlling the position of the rotor is quite difficult. Vector control has been proposed for this problem, however it requires huge calculations and an exact model of the system. In this paper a very simplified model is used and sliding control strategy has been proposed to overcome the shortcomings of the previous model. This approach requires fewer calculations and does not need an exact model. Nevertheless, the simulation results show a very good performance compared with other approaches. To show the strength of the control strategy, it has been implemented on a 2.2 kw three-phase induction motor.       }, keywords = {Induction motor,variable structure,sliding mode,position control}, url = {https://ijste.shirazu.ac.ir/article_1040.html}, eprint = {} } @article { author = {}, title = {A modified reaching phase sliding mode controller for a speed sensorless inducting motor drive using feedback linearization theory}, journal = {Iranian Journal of Science and Technology Transactions of Electrical Engineering}, volume = {27}, number = {4}, pages = {679-689}, year = {2013}, publisher = {Shiraz University}, issn = {2228-6179}, eissn = {}, doi = {10.22099/ijste.2013.1041}, abstract = {A speed sensorless induction motor drive (IMD) with a modified reaching phase sliding mode controller is introduced.

In addition, a Luenberger speed observer is designed to estimate the IMD speed from the measured terminal voltages and currents.

This approach provides a technique for determining stabilizer transfer function for a region of power system operating points establishing a demarcation line between stable and unstable areas on the complex power plane.

Wavelet transform and wavelet packet in tandem with some signal processing methods such as autoregressive spectrum, energy monitoring, fractal dimension, etc., can produce many desirable results for condition monitoring and the fault diagnosis of an induction motor.
