In this study, an optimization method using multi-objective genetic algorithm(MOGA) has been proposed to develop a fuzzy control algorithm that can effectively control a smart tuned mass damper(TMD). A 76-story benchmark building subjected to wind load was selected as an example structure. The smart TMD consists of 100kN MR damper and the natural period of the smart TMD was tuned to the first mode natural period of the example structure. Damping force of MR damper is controlled to reduce the wind-induced responses of the example structure by a fuzzy logic controller. Two input variables of the fuzzy logic controller are the acceleration of 75th floor and the displacement of the smart TMD and the output variable is the command voltage sent to MR damper. Multi-objective genetic algorithm(NSGA-II) was used for optimization of the fuzzy logic controller and the acceleration of 75th story and the displacement of the smart TMD were used as objective function. After optimization, a series of fuzzy logic controllers which could appropriately reduce both wind responses of the building and smart TMD were obtained. Based on numerical results, it has been shown that the control performance of the smart TMD is much better than that of the passive TMD and it is even better than that of the sample active TMD in some cases.

When structural design of a tall building is conducted, reduction of wind-induced lateral displacement is one of the most important problem. For this purpose, additional dampers and vibration control devices are generally considered. In this process, control performance of additional devices are usually investigated for optimal design without variation of characteristics of a structure. In this study, multi-objective integrated optimization of structure-smart control device is conducted and possibility of reduction of structural resources of a tall building with additional smart damping device has been investigated. To this end, a 60-story diagrid building structure is used as an example structure and artificial wind loads are used for evaluation of wind-induced responses. An MR damper is added to the conventional TMD to develop a smart TMD. Because dynamic responses and the amount of structural material and additional smart damping devices are required to be reduced, a multi-objective genetic algorithm is employed in this study. After numerical simulation, various optimal designs that can satisfy control performance requirement can be obtained by appropriately reducing the amount of structural material and additional smart damping device.

Sentimental analysis begins with the search for words that determine the sentimentality inherent in data. Managers can understand market sentimentality by analyzing a number of relevant sentiment words which consumers usually tend to use. In this study, we propose exploring performance of feature selection methods embedded with Particle Swarm Optimization Multi Objectives Evolutionary Algorithms. The performance of the feature selection methods was benchmarked with machine learning classifiers such as Decision Tree, Naive Bayesian Network, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, Bagging, Random Subspace, and Rotation Forest. Our empirical results of opinion mining revealed that the number of features was significantly reduced and the performance was not hurt. In specific, the Support Vector Machine showed the highest accuracy. Random subspace produced the best AUC results.

This paper proposes a method of optimizing a stacking strategy for an automated container terminal using multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs). Since the yard productivities of seaside and landside are conflicting objectives to be optimized, it is impossible to maximize them simultaneously. Therefore, we derive a Pareto optimal set instead of a single best solution using an MOEA. Preliminary experiments showed that the population is frequently stuck in local optima because of the difficulty of the given problem depending on the yard occupancy rate. To cope with this problem, we propose another method of simultaneously optimizing two problems with different difficulties so that diverse solutions can be preserved in the population. Experimental results showed the proposed method can derive better stacking policies than the compared method solving a single problem given the same computational costs.

A spacecraft radiator is a thermal control method to eject internally dissipated heat into the space generated from operation of unit boxes. The efficiency of thermal design may be improved by optimizing radiator design. In this paper, the optimization approach method of node-based radiator design was suggested which is to combine numerical thermal analysis with optimization algorithm. This method has meaning that it can be used practically to implement the spacecraft radiator design regardless of thermal analysis and optimization algorithm software and maintain the same basic concept of an ordinary radiator design approach based on node division of a thermal model. The overall analysis framework with thermal analysis and optimization algorithm would be presented.

Based on army operating road profile, the endurance test of military vehicle aims to reproduce the similar loading conditions with mixture of proving ground tracks. It is so called as endurance test mode and its optimal generation is important to meet high reliability of endurance test. In this paper, proving ground optimization is proposed to achieve a close match to the target profile. Several performance measures such as torque-revolution counts or transmission ratio for the powertrain system can be considered as one of the objective functions. However, the one-side optimal endurance test mode may give the poor solution in the whole system point of view. To incorporate several goals simultaneously, this paper employs multi-objective optimization technique to generate endurance test mode. One of the most widely used method, weighted-sum method is applied here and the case study is discussed.

In an attempt to solve multiobjective optimization problems, many traditional methods scalarize the objective vector into a single objective. In those cases, the obtained solution is highly sensitive to the weight vector used in the scalarization process and demands the user to have knowledge about the underlying problem. Moreover, in solving multiobjective problems, designers may be interested in a set of Pareto-optimal points, instead of a single point. In this paper, pareto-based Continuous Evolutionary Algorithms for Multiobjective Optimization problems having continuous search space are introduced. This algorithm is based on Continuous Evolutionary Algorithms to solve single objective optimization problems with a continuous function and continuous search space efficiently. For multiobjective optimization, a progressive reproduction operator and a niche-formation method fur fitness sharing and a storing process for elitism are implemented in the algorithm. The operator and the niche formulation allow the solution set to be distributed widely over the Pareto-optimal tradeoff surface. Finally, the validity of this method has been demonstrated through a numerical example.

In this study, a model to optimize residual chlorine concentrations in a water supply system was developed using a multi-objective genetic algorithm. Moreover, to quantify the effects of optimized residual chlorine concentration management and to consider customer service requirements, this study developed indices to quantify the spatial and temporal distributions of residual chlorine concentration. Based on the results, the most economical operational method to manage booster chlorination was derived, which would supply water that satisfies the service level required by consumers, as well as the cost-effectiveness and operation requirements relevant to the service providers. A simulation model was then created based on an actual water supply system (i.e., the Multi-regional Water Supply W in Korea). Simulated optimizations were successful, evidencing that it is possible to meet the residual chlorine concentration demanded by consumers at a low cost.

상수관망시스템은 정수장으로부터 각 수요처에 음용수를 공급하기 위한 사회기반시설물이며, 광범위한 지역에 걸쳐 주로 지하에 시설물이 매설되어 있다. 상수관망시스템을 설계하고 운영함에 있어 노후화로 인한 유수율 저하, 갑작스런 수요량의 증가, 관로 파손 등 비정상상황에의 용수공급을 항상 대비하여야 하며, 이를 통한 지속적인 관리와 개량이 필요하다. 상수관망시스템에서 발생할 수 있는 다양한 비정상상황들 중 상수관망시스템 내 관로가 파손될 경우, 파손 관로의 보수 혹은 교체를 위해서는 해당 관로의 용수흐름을 일시적으로 차단할 필요가 있다. 이 과정에서 파손관로와 인접한 밸브를 차폐하게 되며, 이로 인해 용수공급이 중단되는 단수구역이 발생하게 된다. 단수구역은 파손 관로를 차폐함으로써 파손 관로와 함께 용수공급이 차단되는 직접고립지역과 직접고립지역으로 인해 의도치 않게 수원으로부터 물 공급이 차단되는 간접고립지역으로 구분할 수 있다. 따라서, 관 파손에 의한 단수용량을 정확히 산정하기 위해서는 시스템 내 설치된 밸브의 개수와 위치에 따른 직, 간접고립지역(단수구역)을 정확하게 산정할 필요가 있다. Jun and Loganathan(2007)은 단수구역을 직접고립지역과 간접고립지역으로 구분하여 정의하고 각각을 탐색하는 알고리즘을 제시한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 연구에서 제시한 간접고립지역 탐색 방법의 문제점을 파악하고, 이를 개선한 새로운 알고리즘을 제안 및 검증하였다. 또한, 개선된 알고리즘을 이용하여 상수관망시스템 내 최적 밸브위치를 결정하기 위해 단수용량과 밸브설치비용을 동시에 최소화하는 다목적 최적화 모형을 개발하였으며, 예시 관망을 이용하여 모의를 수행하고 결과를 분석하였다.
