The structural parameters of the magnetorheological (MR) damper significantly affect output damping force and dynamic range. This paper presents a design optimization method to improve performance novel MR with bended magnetic circuit folded flow gap. multiobjective this was carried out based on optimal Latin hypercube (Opt LHD), ellipsoidal basis function neural network (EBFNN), particle swarm...

[1] The operation of large-scale water resources systems often involves several conflicting and noncommensurable objectives. The full characterization of tradeoffs among them is a necessary step to inform and support decisions in the absence of a unique optimal solution. In this context, the common approach is to consider many single objective problems, resulting from different combinations of ...

Utilising molten salt as coolant instead of carbon dioxide in traditional advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGRs) can potentially increase their core power density, simplify the safety case and shorten time needed for development fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactor (FHR). However, change has a strong impact on system behaviour. Therefore, new type fuel assembly is required. design affecte...

Ionic interactions in the two systems NaCl-HEPES (N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid) and NaCl-MOPSO (3-(N-Morpholino)-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid) have been studied in terms of their mutual influence on the respective activity coefficients of each component. Activity coefficients for each component of the two systems and for corresponding buffers are calculated from emf meas...

In this paper the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem with discounted cash flows is considered. Minimizing the makespan and maximization the net present value (NPV) are the two common objectives that have been investigated in the literature. We apply one evolutionary algorithm named multiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) to find Pareto front solutions. We used...

With the continuous increase in emphasis on environmental protection industry, sewage treatment plants have been built many places, and these undoubtedly occupy an important position protecting local environment. The process is generally complicated environment difficult, which means that plant must excellent control system. At this stage, systems cities issue of possessing backward technology ...

The present study proposes a low-energy consumption multipoint sampler carried by deep-sea landing vehicle (DSLV) to meet the requirements of time series sampling in local areas and location wide areas, an optimization method structure based on least-squares support-vector machine (LSSVM) surrogate model multi-objective particle swarm (MOPSO) algorithm. First, overall core components, such as s...

Vehicle License Plate Recognition (VLPR) is an important system for harmonious traffic. Moreover this system is helpful in many fields and places as private and public entrances, parking lots, border control and theft control. This paper presents a new framework for Sudanese VLPR system. The proposed framework uses Multi Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) and Connected Component Anal...
