Optimization of Variable Stiffness Composite Laminates by Particle Swarm and Whale Optimization Algorithms Utilizing Surrogate Models

Optimization of XNOR Convolution for Binary Convolutional Neural Networks on GPU Kaya, Mete Can; İnci, Alperen; Temizel, Alptekin (2020-10-09) Binary convolutional networks have lower computational load and lower memory foot-print compared to their full-precision counterparts. So, they are a feasible alternative for the deployment of computer vision applications on limited capacity embedded devices. Once trained on less resourceconstrained computational environments, they can be deployed for real-time inference on such devices. In this study, we propose an implementation of binary convolutional network inference on GPU by focusing on optimization ...
Optimization of truss bridges within a specified design domain using evolution strategies Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (Informa UK Limited, 2007-09-01) This article reports and investigates the application of evolution strategies (ESs) to optimize the design of truss bridges. This is a challenging optimization problem associated with mixed design variables, since it involves identification of the bridge's shape and topology configurations in addition to the sizing of the structural members for minimum weight. A solution algorithm to this problem is developed by combining different variable-wise versions of adaptive ESs under a common optimization routine. ...
Optimization of onshore steel drilling rigs using the convergence rate approach integrated metaheuristic search algorithms Salatin, Reza; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Mertol, Halit Cenan; Department of Civil Engineering (2018) Despite the exceptional ability of the metaheuristics in locating the optimum solution of discrete optimization problems, the volume of the required analyses through these methods is burdensome. Optimization of large-scale structures having numerous load cases, as well as complex geometries, therefore, is not considered practical in construction industry. In current study, however, an effort has been made to pave the way for the industrialization of the structural optimization by enabling the traditional me...
Optimization of Tooth Bending Fatigue Characteristics of Spur Gear Pairs Using a Gear Dynamics-Based Approach Ozturk, Yalin; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2015-08-05) A gear tooth profile optimization study is performed with the target being defined as the maximization of tooth bending fatigue life for a selected operational range, where the operating torque and speed ranges are defined along with their corresponding durations. For this purpose, a nonlinear lumped gear dynamics model is combined with the S/N curve of the gear material in order to estimate tooth bending fatigue life of the spur gear pair. The differences between the predicted lives of the optimally modifi...
Optimization of underground haul roads using an evolutionary algorithm Yardımcı, Ahmet Güneş; Karpuz, Celal (TMMOB Maden Mühendisleri Odası; 2017-04-14) Underground mine haul road carries the main traffic of mining activities. Composed of straight and spiral sections with a fixed maximum gradient and minimum turning radius constraints, haulage road aims to connect the underground mine portal to the production levels with a navigable path. Most widely, haulage path is designed by skilled mine design experts. Considering haul road design controls the initial capital investment and operating cost parameters, an optimum design that minimizes the path length is ...
