TSI metamodels-based multi-objective robust optimization

Pietro Marco Congedo, Gianluca Geraci, Rémi Abgrall, Valentino Pediroda, Lucia Parussini

– This paper aims to deal with an efficient strategy for robust optimization when a large number of uncertainties are taken into account.

A probabilistic non-dominated sorting GA for optimization under uncertainty

Giovanni Petrone, John Axerio-Cilies, Domenico Quagliarella, Gianluca Iaccarino

A probabilistic non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (P-NSGA) for multi-objective optimization under uncertainty is presented. The purpose of this algorithm is to create a…

Topology optimization with efficient rules of cellular automata

Bogdan Bochenek, Katarzyna Tajs-Zielinska

Biologically inspired techniques like cellular automata (CA) are gaining nowadays attention of designers. This is because they are effective, do not require gradient information…

Multi-objective optimization for laminated steel sheet forming process based on desirability function approach and reliability analysis

Haibo Li, Jun Chen, Yuzhong Xiao

There are process uncertainties and material property variations during laminated steel sheet forming, and those fluctuations may result in non-reliable forming quality issues…

Multi-objective genetic algorithms applied to low power pressure microsensor design

José Miguel Monzón-Verona, Santiago Garcia-Alonso, Javier Sosa, Juan A. Montiel-Nelson

The purpose of this paper is to explain in detail the optimization of the sensitivity versus the power consumption of a pressure microsensor using multi-objective genetic…

Robust nonlinear HVAC systems control with evolutionary optimisation

John Counsell, Obadah Zaher, Joseph Brindley, Gavin Murphy

The purpose of this research is to design a robust high-performance nonlinear multi-input multi-output heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system controller for…

Lite GPS pseudo-code generation using genetic algorithms

Javier Sosa, Daniel Alcaraz Real-Arce, Tomás Bautista, Juan A. Montiel-Nelson, S. Garcia-Alonso, José M. Monzón-Verona, Saeid Nooshabadi

In a global positioning system (GPS) receiver, one of the most time-consuming tasks is to identify and track the visible satellites. The paper aims to propose and examine in…
