manufacturing process frequently employs optimization of machining parameters in order to improve product quality as well as to enhance productivity. the material removal rate is a significant indicator of the productivity and cost efficiency of the process. taguchi method has been implemented for assessing favorable (optimal) machining condition during the machining of nylon by considering thr...

rectangular waveguide (wr) is one of the earliest types of transmission lines. rectangular waveguide can be produced by hot extrusion process. in this paper, the hot extrusion process of cuzn5 rectangular waveguide was investigated by finite element method (fem). in addition, genetic algorithm method (ga) was used to optimize the die geometry and process conditions to achieve the lowest magnitu...

today, with rapid growth of the world wide web and creation of internet sites and online text resources, text summarization issue is highly attended by various researchers. extractive-based text summarization is an important summarization method which is included of selecting the top representative sentences from the input document. when, we are facing into large data volume documents, the extr...

in this paper the fuzzy structural reliability index was determined through modeling epistemic uncertainty arising from ambiguity in statistical parameters of random variables. the first order reliability method (form) has been used and a robust genetic algorithm in the alpha level optimization method has been proposed for the determination of the fuzzy reliability index. the sensitivity level ...

in the current work, different methods for optimization of turbine blade internal cooling are investigated, to achieve higher cyclic efficiency and output power for a typical gas turbine. a simple two-dimensional model of c3x blade is simulated and validated with available experimental data. the optimization process is performed on this model with two different methods. the first method is a po...
