An EGO-like optimization framework for sensor placement optimization in modal analysis

An effective approach for damage identification in beam-like structures based on modal flexibility curvature and particle swarm optimization

In this paper, a computationally simple approach for damage localization and quantification in beam-like structures is proposed. This method is based on using modal flexibility curvature (MFC) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Analytical studies in the literature have shown that changes in the modal flexibility curvature can be considered as a sensitive and suitable criterion for...

Incremental Sensor Placement Optimization on Water Network

Sensor placement on water networks is critical for the detection of accidental or intentional contamination event. With the development and expansion of cities, the public water distribution systems in cities are continuously growing. As a result, the current sensor placement will lose its effectiveness in detecting contamination event. Hence, in many real applications, we need to solve the inc...

MULTIOBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION OF SENSOR PLACEMENT IN WATER DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS DUAL USE BENEFIT APPROACH

Location and types of sensors may be integrated for simultaneous achievement of water security goals and other water utility objectives, such as regulatory monitoring requirements. Complying with the recent recommendations on dual benefits of sensors, this study addresses the optimal location of these types of sensors in a multipurpose approach. The study presents two mathematical models for ...
