Abstract: A multi-objective nonlinear optimal planning method is proposed to design thermal distribution systems used for district heating. The following three objective functions are considered which are ...

Abstract: The stent design itself seems to be one of the factors responsible for restenosis. As a remedy, the present work attempts to perform a design optimization of coronary stents from a hemodynamic ...

Abstract: This work attempts to optimize stents that are implanted at the neck of coronary or cerebral aneurysms to effect a flow diversion. A two-dimensional version of the stent, which is a series ...
