abstract

in this study, the longitudinal shrinkage behavior of knitted fabrics during drying has been studied. in this context, a model is presented to predict the longitudinal shrinkage of plain knitted fabric during drying process. in order to model the shrinkage behavior, a 1dof model consists of a mass, a linear spring and a linear damper have been used. in presented model the time-varying mass is considered due to fabric drying process. nonlinear equation of motion derived from the model have been solved using three-order straight forward expansion method. the results of the model were compared with the experimental results for five samples with different courses densities. the results shown that in high courses densities the presented model is capable enough to predict the longitudinal shrinkage of plain knitted fabric mass center during drying process. error rate is 11.3 percent for the samples with high density. but with decrease in density, the error rate increases to 18 percent. then the genetic algorithm is used to optimize the model. using optimized model the simulated error rate fell into 5.7 percent for samples with high density and the rate fell to 6.1 percent with decrease in density.

Comparative Study of Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm Applied for Noisy Non-Linear Optimization Problems

Optimization of noisy non-linear problems plays a key role in engineering and design problems. These optimization problems can't be solved effectively by using conventional optimization methods. However, metaheuristic algorithms such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) seem very efficient to approach in these problems and became very popular. The efficiency of these ...

Optimization of e-Learning Model Using Fuzzy Genetic Algorithm

E-learning model is examined of three major dimensions. And each dimension has a range of indicators that is effective in optimization and modeling, in many optimization problems in the modeling, target function or constraints may change over time that as a result optimization of these problems can also be changed. If any of these undetermined events be considered in the optimization process, t...
