due to high surface-to-volume ratio of nanoscale structures, surface stress effects have a significant influence on their behavior. in this paper, a two-dimensional problem for an elastic layer that is bonded to a rigid substrate and subjected to an inclined concentrated line load acting on the surface of the layer is investigated based on gurtin-murdoch continuum model to consider surface stre...

nowadays, economic load dispatch between generation units with least cost involved is one of the most important issues in utilizing power systems. in this paper, a new method i.e. water cycle algorithm (wca) which is similar to other intelligent algorithm and is based on swarm, is employed in order to solve the economic load dispatch problem between power plants. in order to investigate the eff...

Pneumatic-actuated valves are critical components in many applications, including cryogenic propellant loading for space operations. For these components, failures need to be predicted so that components can be repaired to ensure mission success, i.e., health monitoring and fault prognostics is required. In order to develop, test, mature, and deploy valve prognostics algorithms, we have develop...

Economic load dispatch is to operate thermal generators economically with fulfilling demand. This economic problem becomes highly complex and non-linear after considering various operating constraints like valve-point loading effect, generator constraints, prohibited zone. The recently developed physics law-based artificial electric field algorithm has been applied solve ELD problems. explorati...

Multi Objective Optimal Power Flow including FACTS technology is one of the most important issues in power system planning and control. In this paper Artificial Intelligence techniques are used to solve the Multi Objective Optimum Power Flow incorporating FACTS devices with valve point effect. In this paper two objectives loss minimization and minimum voltage deviation are taken into considerat...

Economic load dispatch (ELD) is one of the most important optimization problems in the modern power system. The introduction of non-convex, non-differentiable and non-continuous models like valve point loading (VPL) and prohibited operating zone (POZ) makes the conventional ELD problem to a highly non-linear constrained problem which makes the conventional method to stick to local optima. In th...
