The performance of horizontal axis tidal current turbines (HATCT) strongly depends on their geometry. According to this fact, the optimum performance will be achieved by optimized geometry. In this research study, the multi objective optimization of the HATCT is carried out by using four different multi objective optimization algorithms and their performance is evaluated in combination with bla...

Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs) are a major component recently used in the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). VANETs have a highly dynamic and portioned network topology due to the constant and rapid movement of vehicles. Currently, clustering algorithms are widely used as the control schemes to make VANET topology less dynamic for Medium Access Control (MAC), routing ...

Feedback controls are usually designed to achieve multiple and often conflicting performance goals. These incommensurable objectives can be found in both time and frequency domains. For instance, one may want to design a control system such that the closed-loop system response to a step input has a minimum percentage overshoot (Mp), peak time (tp), rise time (tr), settling time (ts), tracking e...

49 Any real-world optimization problem involves several objectives. Chemical engineering is no exception. Chemical processes, such as distillation (Figure 1), refinery operations, polymerization, etc., involve a number of process parameters which are to be set for achieving certain properties in the final product. Often such a process is modelled using a number of differential and/or algebraic ...

using new approaches to optimize the process of power transmission line routing can solve many complex problems which power transmission line routing decision-makers are faced. due to the expansion of involved parameters we can consider multi-objective evolutionary algorithms as appropriate method in this area. in this thesis with using multi-objective evolutionary algorithms nsga-ii and offere...

Process planning is an important function in a manufacturing system; it specifies the manufacturing requirements and details for the shop floor to convert a part from raw material to the finished form. However, considering only economical criterion with technological constraints is not enough in sustainable manufacturing practice; formerly, criteria about low carbon emission awareness have seld...

beneficial management practices (bmps) are important measures for reducing agricultural non-point source (nps) pollution. however, selection of bmps for placement in a watershed requires optimizing available resources to maximize possible water quality benefits. due to its iterative nature, the optimization typically takes a long time to achieve the bmp trade-off results which is not desirable ...
