Nowadays, the weight minimization of a structure without affecting initial performance is challenging issue for design engineers. Weight reduction approaches such as topological optimization provide solution to determining optimal shape compromising intended and required functionality. For most structures, topology problems have been formulated either minimize compliance or under volume stress ...

By using the methodology of multiobjective optimal design engineering systems, we consider problem weight-vibration Pareto optimization a dual mass flywheel with an aim to study feasibility its application in heavy-duty truck powertrains. The results obtained show following: solution considered does exist; inertia, stiffness, and damping parameters absorber optimized operating engine speed rang...

Computational models of neural map formation can be considered on at least three different levels of abstraction: detailed models including neural activity dynamics, weight dynamics that abstract from the neural activity dynamics by an adiabatic approximation, and constrained optimization from which equations governing weight dynamics can be derived. Constrained optimization uses an objective f...
