Active Vibration Control using Piezoelectric Actuator: Implementation of Ant Colony Optimization Technique in Virtual Experimentation

A`Implementation of Ant Colony Optimization Technique for Cancer Diagnosis

In this paper a novel approach for the detection of breast cancer is used. Many imaging techniques are introduced for the breast cancer diagnosis. In this ant colony optimization (ACO) based edge detection technique is used for the diagnosing of breast cancer. This process is used to detect outlines of an object and boundaries between objects present and the background in the image. Experimenta...

Decentralized harmonic active vibration control of a flexible plate using piezoelectric actuator-sensor pairs.

We have investigated decentralized active control of periodic panel vibration using multiple pairs combining PZT actuators and PVDF sensors distributed on the panel. By contrast with centralized MIMO controllers used to actively control the vibrations or the sound radiation of extended structures, decentralized control using independent local control loops only requires identification of the di...

Load balancing in a network using Ant colony optimization technique

TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF SPACE STRUCTURES USING ANT COLONY METHOD

In this article, the ant colony method is utilized for topology optimization of space structures. Strain energy of the structure is minimized while the material volume is limited to a certain amount. In other words, the stiffest possible structure is sought when certain given materials are used. In addition, a noise cleaning technique is addressed to prevent undesirable members in optimum topol...
