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.

Multi-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...

Constrained Multi-Objective Optimization Using Differential Evolution

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...

Solving 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...

Pareto Optimal Multi-Objective Dynamical Balancing of a Slider-Crank Mechanism Using Differential Evolution Algorithm

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...
