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-American Institute of Steel Construction (LRFD-AISC). It selects the appropriate W-sections for the transverse and longitudinal beams of the grillage system out of 272 discrete W-section designations given in LRFD-AISC. This selection is carried out such that the design limitations described in LRFD-AISC are satisfied and the weight of the system is the minimum. Many design examples are considered to demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithm presented.

Optimum design of grillage systems using harmony search algorithm Erdal, Ferhat; Saka, Mehmet Polat; Department of Engineering Sciences (2007) Harmony search method based optimum design algorithm is presented for the grillage systems. This numerical optimization technique imitates the musical performance process that takes place when a musician searches for a better state of harmony. For instance, 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 displacement and strength constraints which are implemented from LRFD-AISC (Loa...
Geometry-Aware Neighborhood Search for Learning Local Models for Image Superresolution Ferreira, Julio Cesar; Vural, Elif; Guillemot, Christine (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016-03-01) Local learning of sparse image models has proved to be very effective to solve inverse problems in many computer vision applications. To learn such models, the data samples are often clustered using the K-means algorithm with the Euclidean distance as a dissimilarity metric. However, the Euclidean distance may not always be a good dissimilarity measure for comparing data samples lying on a manifold. In this paper, we propose two algorithms for determining a local subset of training samples from which a good...
Two-level composite wing structural optimization using response surfaces Liu, B; Haftka, RT; Akgun, MA (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2000-10-01) A two-level optimization procedure for composite wing design subject to strength and buckling constraints is presented. At wing-level design, continuous optimization of ply thicknesses with orientations of 0 degrees, 90 degrees, and +/-45 degrees is performed to minimize weight. At panel level, the number of plies of each orientation (rounded to integers) and inplane loads are specified, and a permutation genetic algorithm is used to optimize the stacking sequence in order to maximize the buckling load. The...
Non-destructive recognition of dielectric coated conducting objects by using WD type time-frequency transformation and PCA-based fusion Sayan, Gönül (Wiley, 2013-07-01) This article demonstrates the applications of a non-destructive electromagnetic target recognition method, called Wigner distribution-principal component analysis (WD-PCA) method, to dielectric coated conducting spheres. These spheres are chosen to be highly similar having the same overall size but slightly different permittivity and thickness values in coating layers. Four different classifiers are simulated by using the WD-PCA method for varying sizes of object libraries under different noise conditions. ...
ADAPTIVE-CONTROL OF FLEXIBLE MULTILINK MANIPULATORS BODUR, M; SEZER, ME (Informa UK Limited, 1993-09-01) An adaptive self-tuning control scheme is developed for end-point position control of flexible manipulators. The proposed scheme has three characteristics. First, it is based on a dynamic model of a flexible manipulator described in cartesian coordinates, which eliminates the burden and inaccuracy of translating a desired end-point trajectory to joint coordinates using inverse kinematic relations. Second, the effect of flexibility is included in the dynamic model by approximating flexible links with a numbe...
