A Synthesis of Planar Multilink Mechanisms Based on Genetic Algorithms.

Automated Type Synthesis of Planar Mechanisms Using Numeric Optimization With Genetic Algorithms

This paper presents a novel method for the automated type synthesis of planar mechanisms and multibody systems. The method explicitly includes topology as a design variable in an optimization framework based on a genetic algorithm (GA). Each binary string genome of the GA represents the concatenation of the upper-right triangular portion of the link adjacency matrix of a mechanism. Different to...

Synthesis of Planar EBG Structures Based on Genetic Programming

Phase-Only Planar Antenna Array Synthesis with Fuzzy Genetic Algorithms

This paper describes a new method for the synthesis of planar antenna arrays using fuzzy genetic algorithms (FGAs) by optimizing phase excitation coefficients to best meet a desired radiation pattern. We present the application of a rigorous optimization technique based on fuzzy genetic algorithms (FGAs), the optimizing algorithm is obtained by adjusting control parameters of a standard version...

Scheduling of a flexible flow shop with multiprocessor task by a hybrid approach based on genetic and imperialist competitive algorithms

This paper presents a new mathematical model for a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with multiprocessor tasks in which sequence dependent set up times and preemption are considered. The objective is to minimize the weighted sum of makespan and maximum tardiness. Three meta-heuristic methods based on genetic algorithm (GA), imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) and a hybrid approach of GA a...

Based on Genetic algorithms

Many Multiple Objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGAs) have been designed to solve problems with multiple conflicting objectives. Incremental approach can be used to enhance the performance of various MOGAs, which was developed to evolve each objective incrementally. For example, by applying the incremental approach to normal MOGA, the obtained Incremental Multiple Objective Genetic Algorithm (IMOG...
