Abstract: Although Genetic Algorithms (GAs) and Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGAs) have been widely used in engineering design optimization, the important challenge still faced by researchers in using ...

Abstract: We present a deterministic non-gradient based approach that uses robustness measures in multi-objective optimization problems where uncontrollable parameter variations cause variation in the objective ...

Abstract: Uncertainty plays a critical role in engineering design as even a small amount of uncertainty could make an optimal design solution infeasible. The goal of robust optimization is to find a ...

Abstract: To enhance the structural performance and durability of a conventional reinforced concrete (RC) cover slab over a culvert as well as to improve its spanning ability, this paper presents a novel ultrahigh-performance concrete ...
