چکیده
This paper presents a comparative study of two stochastic optimization methods: the electromagnetism-like algorithm (EMA) and the multilevel ant stigmergy algorithm (MASA) in computer-assisted design of universal electric motor rotor/stator geometry. The design goal was to minimize the power losses. The output of this study can be summarized in several important findings. Above all, both compared optimization methods were able to significantly improve the original engineering design. Comparing the tested methods, the MASA generated the minimum power loss designs. Its additional advantage shown on this problem was the capability of successfully performing the optimization from random starting points, which was not the case with the EMA. Key-Words: electromagnetism, multilevel, stigmergy, optimization, design

متن کاملA Meta-heuristic Algorithm for Global Numerical Optimization Problems inspired by Vortex in fluid physics
One of the most important issues in engineering is to find the optimal global points of the functions used. It is not easy to find such a point in some functions due to the reasons such as large number of dimensions or inability to derive them from the function. Also in engineering modeling, we do not have the relationships of many functions, but we can input and output them as a black box. The...
متن کاملA Reliability based Modelling and Optimization of an Integrated Production and Preventive Maintenance Activities in Flowshop Scheduling Problem
Traditional scheduling problems with the batch processing machines (BPM) assume that machines are continuously available, and no time is needed for their preventive maintenance (PM). In this paper, we study a realistic variant of flowshop scheduling which integrates flow shop batch processing machines (FBPM) and preventive maintenance for minimizing the makespan.
