Topology optimization is esoteric. Computer-aided design includes. Design objectives and feasibility are the goals. This study optimizes crane hook, a common mechanical component with complex geometry, using topology. The hook should be light but strong. Photoelasticity allows experimental verification of design’s stress distribution by visualizing patterns in birefringent property materials.&#...

in this paper, an efficient method for solving optimal control problemsof the linear differential systems with inequality constraint is proposed. by usingnew adjustment of hat basis functions and their operational matrices of integration,optimal control problem is reduced to an optimization problem. also, the erroranalysis of the proposed method is investigated and it is proved that the order o...

in this study, we considered an inflationary inventory control model under non-deterministic conditions. we assumed the inflation rate as a normal distribution, with any arbitrary probability density function (pdf). the objective function was to minimize the total discount cost of the inventory system. we used two methods to solve this problem. one was the classic numerical approach which turne...

optimization techniques can be efficiently utilized to achieve an optimal shape for arch dams. this optimal design can consider the conditions of the economy and safety simultaneously. the main aim is to present an applicable and practical model and suggest an algorithm for optimization of concrete arch dams to enhance their seismic performance. to achieve this purpose, a preliminary optimizati...

this paper focuses upon the development of an efficient method for conceptual design optimization of a satellite. there are many option for a satellite subsystems that could be choice, as acceptable solution to implement of a space system mission. every option should be assessment based on the different criteria such as cost, mass, reliability and technology contraint (complexity). in this rese...

In this paper, a meta-optimization algorithm, based on Local Unimodal Sampling (LUS), has been applied to tune selected parameters of QuantumInspired Evolutionary Algorithm for numerical optimization problems coded in real numbers. Tuning of the following two parameters has been considered: crossover rate and contraction factor. Performance landscapes of the algorithm meta-fitness have been app...
