Studies the effect of parameters controlling the biological growth method by applying it to the classical optimization problem of a plate with a central hole under biaxial stress state. It has been found that the optimization character of the method depends strongly on the so-called reference stress. Depending on the magnitude of this parameter either a local or global optimum is approached. A global optimum corresponds to the minimum possible v. Mises stress along the hole boundary (and hence in the plate), whereas a local optimum presents the modified shape of the hole yielding an uniform stress distribution whose magnitude is larger than the minimum possible value and which is equal to the specified reference stress. The magnification factor applied to the iterative displacement results influences the optimization speed. Too large factors lead to divergence of the solution. Furthermore, it has been found that the dimension of the optimization domain has a critical effect on the optimization result.

Deep Learning Based Speed Up of Fluid Dynamics Solvers Acar, Deniz Alper; Uzol, Oğuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-9-8) In this thesis, two distinct deep learning-based methods for the speed-up of fluid dynamics solvers are proposed. The first method called Parametric Encoded Physics informed neural network (PEPINN), is utilized to solve transient fluid dynamics problems. PEPINN is an alternative to the Physics informed neural networks (PINN) and is based on the parametric encoding of the problem domain. In PEPINN the automatic differentiation for calculation of the problem residual is replaced with finite difference kernel...
On a Minimal Spanning, Tree Approach in the Cluster Validation Problem Barzily, Zeev; Volkovich, Zeev; Öztürk, Başak; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2009-01-01) In this paper, a method for the study of cluster stability is purposed. We draw pairs of samples from the data, according to two sampling distributions. The first distribution corresponds to the high density zones of data-elements distribution. Thus it is associated with the clusters cores. The second one, associated with file cluster margins, is related to the low density zones. The samples are clustered and the two obtained partitions are compared. The partitions are considered to be consistent if the obt...

Optimum design of steel structures via differential evolution algorithm and application programming interface of SAP2000 Dedekargınoğlu, Özgür; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) The objective of this study is to investigate the use and efficiency of Differential Evolution (DE) method on structural optimization. The solution algorithm developed with DE is computerized into software called SOP2011 using VB.NET. SOP2011 is automated to achieve size optimum design of steel structures consisting of 1-D elements such as trusses and frames subjected to design provisions according to ASD-AISC (2010) and LRFD-AISC (2010). SOP2011 works simultaneously with the structural analysis and design ...
