In this paper, a genetic algorithm is presented for the simultaneous layout and pipe size optimization of water distribution networks and its e ciency is evaluated and compared using di erent selection mechanisms. An engineering concept of reliability is used, in which the number of independent paths from source nodes to each of the demand nodes is considered as a measure of reliability. The me...

The de Bruijn networks are well-known as suitable structures for parallel computations such as FFT. This paper shows an efficient D VLSI layout of the de Bruijn network with optimal volume and near optimal wire-length. Our layout consists of a number of copies of a single 2D VLSI layout for a subnetwork of the de Bruijn network.

This paper presents an integrated design of a drivetrain for a single-person ultra-light electric vehicle (ULEV). To calculate losses and efficiency of the inverter, the permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) and the gearbox, parameterised analytical models are used. For the gearbox – which has a single gear ratio – the studied parameters are the gear ratio, the number of stages, the num...

The circular layout and the kinematics of planetary gearboxes result in characteristic oil flow phenomena. goal this paper is to apply a new remeshing strategy, based on finite volume method, numerical analysis gearbox its evaluation results as well validation. are compared with experimental data acquired underlying test rig high-speed camera recordings. By use transparent housing cover, optica...
