Ant-Based Algorithms for Optimization of Mixed Variable Domain Engineering Problems; Application to Water Main Pipeline Design

This paper introduces four ant-based methods to solve mixed-variable problems. Each method is based upon superlative ant algorithms in discrete and/or continuous domains. Proposed methods’ performances are then tested on a set of mathematical functions and applied to a water main design problem in engineering field, which are elaborately subject to linear and non-linear constraints. All propose...

Application of Thermodynamics and Kinetics in Materials Engineering

During the last 30 years, there was a surge for coupling thermodynamics and phase diagrams in the field of material science. Many large programmers as well as the exploring of versatile solution models, the description of the magnetism energy of elements and solutions, etc. were developed. Thermo-Calc, as one of the most successful commercial software package for calculation of phase equilibriu...
