Structural optimization of offshore wind turbine structures has become an important issue in the past years due to the noticeable developments in offshore wind industry. However, considering the offshore wind turbines’ size and environment, this task is outstandingly difficult. To overcome this barrier, in this paper, a metaheuristic algorithm called Enhanced Colliding Bodies Optimization...

This paper explores the use of divide and conquer algorithms to solve production optimization problems. Exploitation of inherent structure facilitates efficient formulations and solutions to production optimization problems that frequently appear in the upstream oil and gas sector. We present the daily production optimization, which gives rise to network optimization problems, and also add some...

in online catalogs, searching based on subject keywords, comprise a significant percentage of searches. various studies, especially those of us origin, have stated it to be more than 50 percent. due to the importance of subject searching in online cataloging systems for users, much efforts is being exerted on the part of researchers and designers of such cataloging systems to increase its perfo...

Heat transfer search (HTS) is a novel metaheuristic optimization algorithm that simulates the laws of thermodynamics and heat transfer. In this study, the HTS algorithm is adapted to truss structure optimization. Sizing optimization searches for the minimum weight of a structure subject to stress and displacement constraints. Three truss structures often taken as benchmarks in the optimization ...
