An optimization study with kinetostatic analysis is performed on hybrid seven-bar press mechanism. This study is based on previous studies performed on planar hybrid seven-bar linkage. Dimensional synthesis is performed, and optimum link lengths for the mechanism are found. Optimization study is performed by using genetic algorithm (GA). Genetic Algorithm Toolbox is used with Optimization Toolbox in MATLAB®. The design variables and the constraints are used during design optimization. The objective function is determined and eight precision points are used. A seven-bar linkage system with two degrees of freedom is chosen as an example. Metal stamping operation with a dwell is taken as the case study. Having completed optimization, the kinetostatic analysis is performed. All forces on the links and the crank torques are calculated on the hybrid system with the optimized link lengths

The Impact

This article outlines methods to facilitate the assessment of the impact of electric vehicle charging on distribution networks at planning stage and applies them to a case study. As network planning is becoming a more complex task, an approach to automated network planning that yields the optimal reinforcement strategy is outlined. Different reinforcement measures are weighted against each other in terms of technical feasibility and costs by applying a genetic algorithm. Traditional reinforcements as well as novel solutions including voltage regulation are considered. To account for electric vehicle charging, a method to determine the uptake in equivalent load is presented. For this, measured data of households and statistical data of electric vehicles are combined in a stochastic analysis to determine the simultaneity factors of household load including electric vehicle charging. The developed methods are applied to an exemplary case study with Norwegian low-voltage networks. Different penetration rates of electric vehicles on a development path until 2040 are considered.

Parallel Design

This paper discusses a case study of a design and evaluation of a change management system at a large Telecommunications Corporation. The design and evaluation were done using the facilitated genetic algorithm (a parallel design method) and user decision style analysis. During the facilitated genetic algorithm the design team followed the procedure of the genetic algorithm. Usability was evaluated by applying user decision style analysis to the designed system. The design is compared with an existing system and with one designed by an analyst. The change management system designed by the facilitated genetic algorithm took less time to design and decision style analysis indicated it would be easier to use than the other two systems.

This paper presents a modified Ant Colony Algorithm(ACA) called route-update ant colony algorithm(RUACA). The research attention is focused on improving the computational efficiency in the TSP problem. A new impact factor is introduced and proved to be effective for reducing the convergence time in the RUACA performance. In order to assess the RUACA performance, a simply supported data set of cities, which was taken as the source data in previous research using traditional ACA and genetic algorithm(GA), is chosen as a benchmark case study. Comparing with the ACA and GA results, it is shown that the presented RUACA has successfully solved the TSP problem. The results of the proposed algorithm are found to be satisfactory.

Air Flow Rate

Compressed air free from traces of water vapour is vital in many applications in an industrial sector. This study focuses on parametric optimization of a pressure-based packed bed adsorption system for air dehumidification through the Taguchi method and Genetic Algorithm. The effect of operational parameters, namely absolute feed air pressure, feed air linear velocity, and purge air flow rate percent on adsorption uptake rate of molecular sieve 13X-water pair, are studied based on L25 orthogonal array. From the analysis of variance, it has been found that absolute feed air pressure and purge air flow rate percent were the parameters making significant improvement in the adsorption uptake rate. A correlation representing the process was developed using regression analysis. The optimum adsorption conditions were obtained through the Taguchi method and genetic algorithm and verified through the confirmation experiments. This system can be recommended for the industrial and domestic applications that require product air with the dew point temperature below 0°C.
