The main aim of the present paper is to propose advanced multi-objective optimization algorithms (MOOAs) to tackle truss structure optimization problems. The proposed metaheuristic algorithms are based on the firefly algorithm (FA) and bat algorithm (BA), which have been recently developed for single-objective optimization. In order to produce a well distributed Pareto front, some improvements ...

This paper presents a genetic algorithm based approach for synthesis of truss structure designs. Genotype represented as a collection of binary encoded nodes is decoded into the phenotype by applying the NodeSort algorithm. A genotype extension to consider a cross-section as variable and variable length chromosomes to produce designs to successfully meet the boundary conditions are all being in...

Recently, community search over graphs has attracted significant attention and many algorithms have been developed for finding dense subgraphs from large graphs that contain given query nodes. In applications such as analysis of protein protein interaction (PPI) networks, citation graphs, and collaboration networks, nodes tend to have attributes. Unfortunately, most previously developed communi...

Understanding and controlling spreading dynamics in networks presupposes the identification of those influential nodes that will trigger an efficient information diffusion. It has been shown that the best spreaders are the ones located in the core of the network – as produced by the k-core decomposition. In this paper we further refine the set of the most influential nodes, showing that the nod...

We consider semidefinite programming (SDP) formulations of certain truss topology optimization problems, where a lower bound is imposed on the fundamental frequency of vibration of the truss structure. These SDP formulations were introduced in: [M. Ohsaki, K. Fujisawa, N. Katoh and Y. Kanno, Semi-definite programming for topology optimization of trusses under multiple eigenvalue constraints, Co...

This paper presents the study of the optimized bi-dimensional wood structures, truss type, applying the method of genetic algorithms. Assessment is performed by means of a computer program called OPS (Optimization of Plane Structures). The purpose is to meet the optimum geometric configuration taking into account the volume reduction. Different strategies are considered for the positioning of d...

Reliability is one of the main indicators structural elements mechanical safety. The choice stochastic models an important task in reliability analysis for describing variability random variables with aleatory and epistemic uncertainty. article proposes a method RHS (rectangular hollow sections) steel truss joints based on p-boxes approach. consist two boundary distribution functions that creat...

Abstract : The number of workers engaged in Japanese fisheries and related industries in Japan has decreased markedly in recent years due to factors such as an aging workforce, issues related to the management of natural resources and the environment, international affairs, and changes in consumer food preferences. There is therefore a need to mechanize and automate aspects related to work usua...

Telerobotics research for Super Long Distance has been underway between MITI of Japan and NASA JPL of United States. Foe this telerobotics, the limited amount of data transfer, communication delay and the uncertainty of robot environment will be the major issues. To overcome these problems, a telerobotic system, with a knowledge base for object handling, an environment model and a hybrid compli...
