This study deals with an identification of stiffness reduction and response predictions occurred by the delamination damage in laminated composite plates under impact loads. Combined bivariate Gamma function and microgenetic algorithms are developed to determine the crack region due to the delamination and predict future responses. The validity of the proposed method was verified using impact-induced data obtained from a two-dimensional delamination finite element model. Examples indicated that the proposed approach is a feasible and advantageous method through which future dynamic responses can be predicted and the distribution of the degraded stiffness of laminated composite structures can be inspected for different measuring locations and fibre angles.

In this paper, an innovative adaptive directional overcurrent protection system for electric power distribution systems with respect to distributed generation is proposed. The proposed system supervises network topology based on the monitoring functionality of numerical relays. The system detects any changes in the configuration and recalculates the directional overcurrent protection settings by using a microgenetic algorithm. The proposed system was evaluated for several operating scenarios and insertion levels of distributed generation, and then compared with both conventional and adaptive protection systems by means of a traditional genetic algorithm. The results showed that the performance of the proposed system is superior to the other two methods in terms of both speed and selectivity. This shows that this is a promising proposal for the protection of modern electric power distribution systems. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Water level monitoring and forecasting are essential tasks in flood emergency response. This study proposes an Edge COMputing-based Sensory NETwork (ECOMSNet), an innovative decentralized early warning system (EWS), for water level monitoring and prediction. A sensor-embedded algorithm integrates the direct step method (DSM) with a microgenetic algorithm (MGA). This algorithm predicts the water surface profile and corrects it once water level observations are available. It also meets efficiency requirements to accommodate sensor computation limitations. The errors in the predicted water surface profiles in channels with gradually varied flows are 5% in a laboratory flume experiment and below 10% in a field experiment. The ECOMSNet is an achievement of edge computing-based Internet of Things. It shows potential to increase emergency response efficiency. However, the system requires further refinement and testing if it is to adequately address rapidly varied unsteady flow in a scaled-up implementation.

This study presents a method for regulation parameters of a distributed generation (DG) system by means of a hybrid optimisation algorithm. This aims in increasing the stability and reducing the losses and the cost of generation. The hybrid algorithm which includes probability based incremental learning and micro genetic algorithm are tested among other computational intelligence techniques to validate the efficiency of the method by maximising the total social welfare and minimising the network congestion. Simultaneous optimisation of DG parameters which includes DG size, location and type is explored using generation rescheduling and with load curtailment which is vindicated on a modified IEEE distribution system and in a real time Indian utility system. Results show us that the proposed method presents advantages of low computational complexity.

Transport of energy across fluids is facilitated within a device called a heat exchanger. The ability to exchange thermal energy within this device is further enhanced by applying various passive and active techniques. In this work, a group of passive techniques were merged to improve the performance of a heat exchanger. A square duct is considered to represent the tube of a heat exchanger as water flows inside the duct. A spiral insert is placed within a square duct and two opposite walls of the duct are dented to impinge hemispherical dimples. The effect of a spiral insert and dimples on heat exchanger performance was observed in ANSYS at various configurations of dimples by keeping the spiral insert unaltered. This study is further extended to analyze and predict the best dimple configuration using optimization techniques such as genetic algorithms (GAs) and microgenetic algorithms (mu GAs). Using a GA, the best thermohydraulic performance is observed when spacing between the dimples is 7.5 mm, 5.5 mm, and 7.5 mm from the edge of the duct surface. The result suggested by a mu GA is also in close agreement with the result of the GA. According to the mu GA, the best thermohydraulic performance is predicted at 7.4 mm, 5.6 mm, and 7.4 mm from the edge of the duct surface.

In planning a distribution network, after routing newly feeders, optimal placement of sectionalizers and tie switches is an important task. However, it is very difficult for planners to select the optimal place of tie switches and sectionalizers, because too many candidate locations exist. In this paper, tie switches and sectionalizers placement problem on radial distribution networks are formulated, and a microgenetic algorithm (MGA) in conjunction with fuzzy logic (FL) is proposed as solution. A FL is used to apply expert knowledge that takes into load priority and failure rate and a MGA is used to considerate reliability indices. The costs associated with installation of switches are shown. A 104-bus test system is presented and the results are compared to the solution given by other techniques. This comparison confirms the efficiency of the proposed method which makes it promising to solve complex problems of tie switches and sectionalizers placement in radial distribution networks.

This study aims to use optimization to increase the design load of composite sandwich cylinders under external hydrostatic pressure. Unlike other studies that only consider buckling, this study took into account both buckling and material failure. *** was used for the finite element analysis, while a micro-genetic algorithm was used for the optimization. The finite element model was validated by comparison with the experiment results, and the result of the optimization using the finite element method was validated by comparison with the result of the feasible region analysis. Based on the optimization, as the thickness of the sandwich increases, the buckling load becomes larger than the material failure. Consequently, the optimum point is determined by material failure. The current results suggest that both the buckling and the static material failure should be considered in the design of the composite sandwich cylinder. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A new optimization technique based on the hybrid algorithm combining ant colony optimization algorithm with microgenetic algorithm is presented for the design of multilayered radar absorbing materials. During the optimization procedure the optimization constrained conditions are different in order to meet the practical requirements in the different frequency bands between 2 GHz and 18 GHz, and the multilayered radar absorbing materials is also designed for a given maximum total thickness. The effects of the thickness and the number of layers on the optimization results are discussed in detail. The numerical results show that this new hybrid algorithm can obtain a better solution than that of the genetic algorithm.

This paper presents parameter and topology optimization of inductor shapes using evolutionary algorithms. The goal of the optimization is to reduce the size of inductors satisfying the specifications on inductance values under weak and strong bias-current conditions. The inductance values are computed from the finite-element (FE) method taking magnetic saturation into account. The result of the parameter optimization, which leads to significant reduction in the volume, is realized for test, and the dependence of inductance on bias currents is experimentally measured, which is shown to agree well with the computed values. Moreover, novel methods are introduced for topology optimization to obtain inductor shapes with homogeneous ferrite cores suitable for mass production.
