MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION OF ARCH DAMS USING DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION METHODS
Authors
Abstract:
For optimization of real-world arch dams, it is unavoidable to consider two or more conflicting objectives. This paper employs two multi-objective differential evolution algorithms (MoDE) in combination of a parallel working MATLAB-APDL code to obtain a set of Pareto solutions for optimal shape of arch dams. Full dam-reservoir interaction subjected to seismic loading is considered. A benchmark arch dam is then examined as the numerical example. The numerical results are compared to show the performance of the MoDE methods.

full textMulti-Objective Optimization Using Differential Evolution
In most real world multi-objective optimization problems the objectives are conflicting and therefore, they do not lend themselves to a single solution but result in a set of non-dominating solutions. Several issues arise in Multi-objective Optimization. Firstly, the entire search space has to be searched (in order to find all the good nondominated solutions) without getting stuck in local opti...

Most real-world optimization problems include multiple objective functions and several constraints. The Differential Evolution algorithm was initially developed for unconstrained single-objective problems and was shown to be a fast, simple algorithm. In order to utilize these advantages in real-world problems it was adapted for multi-objective optimization recently. In this work a multi-objecti...
full textSolving Rotated Multi-objective Optimization Problems Using Differential Evolution
This paper demonstrates that the self-adaptive technique of Differential Evolution (DE) can be simply used for solving a multiobjective optimization problem where parameters are interdependent. The real-coded crossover and mutation rates within the NSGA-II have been replaced with a simple Differential Evolution scheme, and results are reported on a rotated problem which has presented difficulti...

In this study a hybrid strategy of multi-objective differential algorithm (MODE) is used successfully on an industrial problem. The hybrid strategy consists of hybridization of deterministic local search method with the evolutionary algorithm The developed algorithm is also applied successfully on multi-objective optimization of industrial polyethylene terephthalate (PET) rector. The ODE23s sub...

The present paper aims to improve the dynamical balancing of a slider-crank mechanism. This mechanism has been widely used in internal combustion engines, especially vehicle engines; hence, its dynamical balancing is important significantly. To have a full balance mechanism, the shaking forces and shaking moment of foundations should be eliminated completely. However, this elimination is usuall...
