Research on Group-Housing for Sows

Sow housing is a controversy issue in the swine industry. The conventional confinement housing system for sows, such as gestation stalls and farrowing crates have been used in the western countries for more than 30 years. Despite the advantages of confinement sow housing systems, concern over sow welfare due to restriction of movement has resulted in gestation stalls being banned in the Europea...

Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization of Steel Structural Systems in Tall Buildings

This paper presents results of extensive computational experiments in which evolutionary multiobjective algorithms were used to find Pareto-optimal solutions to a complex structural design problem. In particular, Strength-Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2 (SPEA2) was combined with a mathematical programming method to find optimal designs of steel structural systems in tall buildings with respect ...

OPTIMIZATION FORMULATION FOR NONLINEAR STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

In this paper, the effect of angle between predictor and corrector surfaces on the structural analysis is investigated. Two objective functions are formulated based on this angle and also the load factor. Optimizing these functions, and using the structural equilibrium path’s geometry, lead to two new constraints for the nonlinear solver. Besides, one more formula is achieved, which was p...
