Evolutionary computation techniques (in particular, genetic algorithms) have been applied to optimize the structure of microclusters. Various empirical potential energy functions have been used to describe the interactions among the atoms in the clusters. A comparative study of silicon microclusters has been performed.

Genetic Algorithm Application to the Structural Properties of Si-Ge Mixed Clusters Dugan, Nazim; Erkoç, Şakir (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) Optimum geometries of silicon-germanium (Si-Ge) clusters are found using a single parent genetic algorithm. 100 atom and 150 atom clusters are studied with some variety of compositions and initial geometries. Total interaction energies, distances of Si and Ge atoms to the cluster centers, and average bond lengths are calculated. Si-core Ge-shell geometry is found to be favorable compared to other geometries.
APPLICATION OF 3 NONLINEAR-PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES IN OPTIMIZING MACHINING CONDITIONS ESKICIOGLU, AM; ESKICIOGLU, H (SAGE Publications, 1992-01-01) Mathematical models used for determining optimal machining conditions are non-linear functions subject to non-linear constraints. In this paper models for unit production cost and unit production time for multi-pass milling operations are developed, taking cutting speed, depth of cut, feed and number of passes as design variables. The problem is then solved by three non-linear programming methods, namely the generalized reduced gradient (GRG) method, the sequential unconstrained minimization technique (SUMT...
Optimization of well placement in complex carbonate reservoirs using artifical intelligence Uraz, İrtek; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2004) This thesis proposes a framework for determining the optimum location of an injection well by using an inference method, Artificial Neural Networks and a search algorithm to create a search space and locate the global maxima. Theoretical foundation of the proposed framework is followed by description of the field for case study. A complex carbonate reservoir, having a recorded geothermal production history is used to evaluate the proposed framework ( Kizildere Geothermal field, Turkey). In the proposed fram...
Crack path and life prediction under mixed mode cyclic variable amplitude loading through XFEM Dirik, Haydar; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (Elsevier BV, 2018-09-01) In the present paper, a mesh independent computational algorithm is developed and incorporated into a commercial finite element software (Abaqus) for automated fatigue crack growth analysis under mixed mode variable amplitude loading conditions. The algorithm calculates the stress intensity factor (SIF) at predetermined small crack growth increments in the finite element software by using Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) and predict the fatigue crack growth (FCG) path through local symmetry (K-II = 0) ...
Cell-vertex based parallel and adaptive explicit 3D flow solution on unstructured grids Yilmaz, E; Kavsaoglu, MS; Akay, HU; Akmandor, IS (Informa UK Limited, 2001-01-01) A parallel adaptive Euler flow solution algorithm is developed for 3D applications on distributed memory computers. Significant contribution of this research is the development and implementation of a parallel grid adaptation scheme together with an explicit cell vertex-based finite volume 3D flow solver on unstructured tetrahedral grids. Parallel adaptation of grids is based on grid-regeneration philosophy by using an existing serial grid generation program. Then, a general partitioner repartitions the gri...
