This paper deals with optimal stacking sequence design of laminate composite structures. The stacking sequence optimisation of laminate composites is formulated as a combinatorial problem and is solved using Simulated Annealing (SA), an algorithm devised based on inspiration of physical process of annealing of solids. The combinatorial constraints are handled using a correction strategy. The SA algorithm is strengthened by embedding Tabu search in order to prevent recycling of recently visited solutions and the resulting algorithm is referred to as tabu embedded simulated Annealing (TSA) algorithm. Computational performance of the proposed TSA algorithm is enhanced through cache-fetch implementation. Numerical experiments have been conducted by considering rectangular composite panels and composite cylindrical shell with different ply numbers and orientations. Numerical studies indicate that the TSA algorithm is quite effective in providing practical designs for lay-up sequence optimisation of laminate composites. The effect of various neighbourhood search algorithms on the convergence characteristics of TSA algorithm is investigated. The sensitiveness of the proposed optimisation algorithm for various parameter settings in simulated annealing is explored through parametric studies. Later, the TSA algorithm is employed for multi-criteria optimisation of hybrid composite cylinders for simultaneously optimising cost as well as weight with constraint on buckling load. The two objectives are initially considered individually and later collectively to solve as a multi-criteria optimisation problem. Finally, the computational efficiency of the TSA based stacking sequence optimisation algorithm has been compared with the genetic algorithm and found to be superior in performance.

A hybrid tabu-simulated annealing algorithm is proposed for the optimum design of steel frames. The special character of the hybrid algorithm is that it exploits both tabu search and simulated annealing algorithms simultaneously to obtain near optimum. The objective of optimum design problem is to minimize the weight of steel frames under the actual design constraints of AISC-LRFD specification. The performance and reliability of the hybrid algorithm were compared with other algorithms such as tabu search, simulated annealing and genetic algorithm using benchmark examples. The comparisons showed that the hybrid algorithm results in lighter structures for the presented examples.

Genetic algorithm is modelled on natural evolution and simulated annealing is based on the simulation of thermal annealing. Both genetic algorithm and simulated annealing are stochastic method. So they can find global optimum values. For compare efficiency of SA and GA's, some function value was maximized. In the result, that was a little better than GA's.

Optimization of a satellite structure under severe space launching environments is performed considering various design constraints. Simulate annealing, one of combinatorial optimization techniques, is used to optimize the satellite. The optimization results by the simulated annealing are compared to those by the method of modified feasible direction and genetic algorithm. Ten bar truss structure is optimized for feasibility study of the simulated annealing. Finally, the satellite structure is optimized by the simulated annealing algorithm under space environment. Weights of the satellite upper platform and propulsion module are minimized with consideration of several static and dynamic constraints. MSC/NASTRAN is used to find the static and dynamic responses. Simulated annealing has been programmed and integrated with the finite element analysis program for optimization. It is shown that the simulated annealing algorithm can be extended to the optimization of space structures.

본 논문에서는 MRF(Markov Random field)를 이용해 영상을 분할할 때, 에너지 최적화를 위해 사용되는 simulated annealing의 수렴속도를 개선하는 방법을 제안하였다. Simulated annealing은 잡음이 포함된 영상이나, 텍스쳐 영상에서 좋은 분할 결과를 나타내지만, 수렴속도가 길다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 수렴속도를 개선하기 위해 픽셀 레이블의 초기값을 픽셀의 intensity에 따라 adaptive하게 부여하여 simulated annealing을 수행하였다. 이 방법으로 모의실험을 수행한 결과, 기존의 방법보다 수렴 속도를 크게 향상시킬 수 있었다.

The deterministic annealing-based clustering algorithm is an EM-based algorithm which behaves like simulated annealing method, yet less sensitive to the initialization of parameters. Pairwise clustering is a kind of clustering technique to perform clustering with inter-entity distance information but not enforcing to have detailed attribute information. The pairwise deterministic annealing-based clustering algorithm repeatedly alternates the steps of estimation of mean-fields and the update of membership degrees of data objects to clusters until termination condition holds. Lacking of attribute value information, pairwise clustering algorithms do not explicitly determine the centroids or medoids of clusters in the course of clustering process or at the end of the process. This paper proposes a method to identify the medoids as the centers of formed clusters for the pairwise deterministic annealing-based clustering algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed method locate meaningful medoids.

This paper presents an efficient algorithm for loss reduction of distribution system by automatic sectionalizing switch operation in large scale distribution systems of radial type. Simulated Annealing algorithm among optimization techniques can avoid escape from local minima by accepting improvements in cost, but the use of this algorithm is also responsible for an excessive computation time requirement. To overcome this major limitation of Simulated Annealing algorithm, we may use advanced Simulated Annealing algorithm. All constaints are divided into two constraint group by using perturbation mechanism and penalty factor, so all trail solutions are feasible. The polynomial-time cooling schedule is used which is based on the statistics calculation during the search. This approaches results in saving CPU time. Numerical examples demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

Placement is a very important step in the VLSI physical design process. It is the problem of placing circuit modules to optimize the circuit performance and reliability of the circuit. It is used at the layout level to find strongly connected components that can be placed together in order to minimize the layout area and propagation delay. The most popular algorithms for circuit placement include the cluster growth, simulated annealing, integer linear programming and genetic algorithm. In this paper we propose a adapted genetic algorithm searching solution space for the placement problem, and then compare it with simulated annealing and genetic algorithm by analyzing the results of each implementation. As a result, it was found that the adaptive genetic algorithm approaches the optimal solution more effectively than the simulated annealing and genetic algorithm.
