Multimodal structural optimization for conceptual design
The paper describes an optimization method to support the conceptual stages of structural design. The method, called Blended Close Harmony Search, is a population-based metaheuristic approach that incorporates the following key features: 1) decision variable types that include real numbers defining geometry, discrete structural sections, and topology variables of enumeration (e.g. how many bays...
متن کاملMulti-objective optimization approach for cost management during product design at the conceptual phase
The effective cost management during the conceptual design phase of a product is essential to develop a product with minimum cost and desired quality. The integration of the methodologies of quality function deployment (QFD), value engineering (VE) and target costing (TC) could be applied to the continuous improvement of any product during product development. To optimize customer satisfaction ...
متن کاملArchitectural Layout Design Optimization
This article presents an optimization model of the quantifiable aspects of architectural floorplan layout design, and a companion article presents a method for integrating mathematical optimization and subjective decision making during conceptual design. The model presented here offers a new approach to floorplan layout optimization that takes advantage of the efficiency of gradient-based algor...
