Permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) have a huge potential for direct-drive wind power applications. Therefore, optimal design of these generators is necessary to maximize their efficiency and to reduce their manufacturing cost and total volume. In this paper, an optimal design of a six-phase 3.5 KW direct-drive PMSG to generate electricity for domestic needs is performed. The aim of ...

This paper presents an improved multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (IMOEA) for the design of planar steel frames. By considering constraints as a new objective function, single objective optimization problems turned to multi objective optimization problems. To increase efficiency of IMOEA different Crossover and Mutation are employed. Also to avoid local optima dynamic interference of mutat...

Dynamic Multi-Objective Optimization Problems (DMOPs) and Many-Objective (MaOPs) are two classes of the optimization field that have potential applications in engineering. Modified Evolutionary Algorithms hybrid approaches seem to be suitable effectively deal with such problems. However, standard Crow Search Algorithm has not been considered for either DMOPs or MaOPs date. This paper proposes a...

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), a set of wirelessly connected sensor nodes, is a dynamic system that executes hop-by-hop routing independently with no external help of any infrastructure. Proper selection of cluster heads can increase the life time of the Ad-hoc network by decreasing the energy consumption. Although different methods have been successfully proposed by researchers to tackle...

Heuristic optimization provides a robust and efficient approach for extracting approximate solutions of multi-objective problems because of their capability to evolve a set of non-dominated solutions distributed along the Pareto frontier. The convergence rate and suitable diversity of solutions are of great importance for multi-objective evolutionary algorithms. The focu...

background: irreversible electroporation (ire) is a novel tumor ablation technique. ire is associated with high electrical fields and is often reported in conjunction with thermal damage caused by joule heating. for good response to surgery it is crucial to produce minimum thermal damage in both tumoral and healthy tissues named non-thermal irreversible electroporation(ntire). non-thermal irrev...

many studies are performed by researchers about shell and tube heat exchanger but the multi-objective big bang-big crunch algorithm (mobba) technique has never been used in such studies. this paper presents application of thermal-economic multi-objective optimization of shell and tube heat exchanger using mobba. for optimal design of a shell and tube heat exchanger, it was first thermally model...
