This paper deals with the optimization of stiffeners on plates by varying their positions, while
having well-defined dimensions. Considering the nonlinearity, the non-convexity and the …

This work gives two examples of the application of stochastic techniques (genetic
algorithms) to the optimisation of support positions in machining of mechanical parts …

In this paper, a model based intelligent PID controller tuning is attempted for a Magnetic
Suspension System (MSS) using Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) algorithm. MSS is …

This paper presents an investigation of an intelligence modeling technique for dynamic
characterization of a single-link flexible manipulator system. The flexible manipulator system …

Side Door Beam (SDB) is one of the crucial parts of today's vehicles in order to meet the
passenger safety. Through an explicit finite element analysis (FEA), material selection for the …

In this paper an optimization method for mechanical structures, based on a combination of
genetic algorithms and neural networks (NN), is discussed. The NN is used as an …

This review study presents the utilization of different evolutionary algorithms (EAs) for plate-
fin heat exchanger (PFHE) design optimization in the last decade. The traditional trialand …

This thesis presents the development of capacitive high-performance accelerometers for
sonar wave detection. Two different designs of in-plane and out-of-plane accelerometers are …

Real structures can be thought as an assembly of components, as for instances plates,
shells and beams. This later type of component is very commonly found in structures like …

Une stratégie d'optimisation (algorithmes génétiques) utilisant des analyses approchées par
approximation des calculs éléments finis à l'aide de réseaux neuronaux est présentée. Les …
