An improved semianalytical method for sensitivity analysis

1996-02-01
The semi-analytical method is conveniently used to obtain design sensitivities. However, it may have serious accuracy problems in shape design. In this study, an improved semianalytical method is presented for the accurate computation of shape design sensitivities. The method is based on approximating the flexibility matrix by means of von Neumann series. In numerical examples, two cases for which the standard semianalytical method fails are considered. It is demonstrated that the sensitivities can be obtained very accurately by the improved method proposed.

A java toolbox for wavelet based image denoising
Tuncer, Güney; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2006)
Wavelet methods for image denoising have became widespread for the last decade. The effectiveness of this denoising scheme is influenced by many factors. Highlights can be listed as choosing of wavelet used, the threshold determination and transform level selection for thresholding. For threshold calculation one of the classical solutions is Wiener filter as a linear estimator. Another one is VisuShrink using global thresholding for nonlinear area. The purpose of this work is to develop a Java toolbox which...
A heuristic procedure for a single-item dynamic lot sizing problem
Benli., Ömer S; Sabuncuoğlu, İhsan; Tüfekçi, Süleyman (Elsevier BV, 1988-1)
An O(T) heuristic proceudre for a single-item dynamic lot sizing problem is introduced in this paper. The algorithm tries to establish the regeneration points of the problem whether either the production or the beginning inventory must be equal to zero. The proposed algorithm is very easy to implement and compares very favourably with the existing heuristic procedures.
Harmony search based algorithm for the optimum design of grillage systems to LRFD-AISC
Saka, M. P.; ERDAL, FERHAT (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-03-01)
Harmony search based optimum design method is presented for the grillage systems. This numerical technique imitates the musical performance process that takes place when a musician searches for a better state of harmony. Jazz improvisation seeks to find musically pleasing harmony similar to the optimum design process which seeks to find the optimum solution. The design algorithm considers the serviceability and ultimate strength constraints which are implemented from Load and Resistance Factor Design-Americ...
An Interactive approach to two-response product and process design optimization with statistical inferences
Özateş, Melis; Köksal, Gülser; Köksalan, Murat; Department of Industrial Engineering (2015)
In this study, an interactive approach has been developed for two-response product and process design optimization problems treating the single response problems as a special case. This approach considers preferences of the decision maker explicitly and the correlation between the responses. It uses a predefined set of objectives that are commonly encountered in the literature and industrial applications. However, instead of presenting all objective values at each iteration, a set of performance measures ar...
An access structure for similarity-based fuzzy databases
Yazıcı, Adnan (Elsevier BV, 1999-04-01)
A significant effort has been made in representing imprecise information in database models by using fuzzy set theory. However, the research directed toward access structures to handle fuzzy querying effectively is still at an immature stage. Fuzzy querying involves more complex processing than the ordinary querying does. Additionally, a larger number of tuples are possibly selected by fuzzy conditions in comparison to the crisp ones. It is obvious that the need for fast response time becomes very important...
