Genetic algorithms, computer programs that simulate natural evolution, are increasingly
applied across many disciplines. They have been used to solve various optimisation …

This paper deals with an optimal dimensional synthesis method of the DELTA parallel robot
for a prescribed workspace. The objective function is based on the mathematical concept of …

The purpose of this study is to assess the vulnerability of urban blocks to earthquakes for
Tehran as a city built on geological faults using an artificial neural network—multi-layer …

The accurate prediction of blast furnace gas (BFG) holder level is crucial for reasonable gas
dispatch. Therefore, we propose an improved echo-state network (ESN) model, based on …

This paper considers dimensional synthesis of a six-bar linkage with turning kinematic pairs,
in the literature known as Stephenson III Six-bar linkage. The synthesis procedure started …

An algorithm for synthesis of mechanisms is described in this work. The algorithm is called
MUMSA (Malaga University Mechanism Synthesis Algorithm). This algorithm is an …

This paper presents a comparative study of the dimensional synthesis of the path generating
four-bar mechanisms using some heuristic optimization techniques. For this purpose, we …

This paper presents a novel analytical approach for synthesizing a path-generation
mechanism without any limitation on the number of precision points. Compared with …

In this paper, a dimensional synthesis method for a four-bar (4R) path generator mechanism
having revolute joints with clearance is presented. Joint clearances are considered as virtual …

In this paper, hybrid multi-objective genetic algorithms (GAs) are used for Pareto optimum
synthesis of four-bar linkages considering the minimization of two objective functions …
