Subjective scoring by different groups on different status of morbidity are compared to objective data obtained from legal awards. A power law is tested between subjective and objective scores. Regression analysis by means of a power function provides a measure of consistency in its regression coefficient. Power functions fitting also leads to a justified use of geometric averaging of individual scores into group scores.

In this paper, multiphase dynamic optimization of machine structure is presented. The final goal is to obtain ( i ) light weight, and ( ii ) rigidity statically and dynamically. The entire optimization process is carried out in two steps. In the first step, multiple optimization problem with two objective functions is treated using Pareto genetic algorithm. Two objective functions are weight of the structure, and static compliance. In the second step, maximum receptance is minimized using genetic algorithm. The method is applied to a simplified milling machine.

Multivariate Newton Raphson method is developed to perform the particle tracking in the three dimensional area using four objective functions. In this method, three variables are solved to compute target point and actual and real tracking time. The simulated pathlines in various types of three dimensional elements are well matched with exact pathline.

This paper proposes a generator maintenance scheduling (GMS) problem with due consideration of various objective functions. The objectives include leveling the reserve rate, maximizing reliability and minimizing production cost. The practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approach are demonstrated in the simulation for a real-size power system model in South Korea.

This study proposed a muti-objective optimum design method for rational optimizing of orthotropic steel deck bridges. This multi-objective optimum design method was found to be effective in optimizing multi-objective problems, considering cost and deflection functions. It may ve difficult to optimize orthotropic steel deck bridges using a conventional optimization, since the bridges have several parts and show complex structural behaviors. Therefore, the Pareto curve can be obtained by performing the multi-objective optimization for real orthotropic steel deck bridges, using the multi-level technique with excellent efficiency. A reasonable and economical design can be attained using the Parato curve in the cost and deflection functions of the bridge. Thus, more reasonable design values can be determined based on a comparison with those using a conventional design procedure.

This paper suggests an efficient approach for stochastic bicriteria programming problem (SBCPP) with random variables in both the objective functions and in the right-hand side of the constraints. The suggested approach uses the statistical inference through two different techniques: In one of them, the SBCPP is transformed into an equivalent deterministic bicriteria programming problem (DBCPP), then the nonnegative weighted sum approach will be used to transform the bicriteria programming problem into a single objective programming problem, and the other technique, the nonnegative weighted sum approach is used to transform the SBCPP to an equivalent stochastic single objective programming problem, then apply the same procedure to convert stochastic single objective programming problem into its equivalent deterministic single objective programming problem (DSOPP). In both techniques the resulting problem can be solved as a nonlinear programming problem to get the efficient solutions. Finally, a comparison between the two different techniques is discussed, and illustrated example is given to demonstrate the actual application of these techniques.

The present research study utilizes a multi-objective optimization method for Pareto optimization of an eight-degree of freedom full vehicle vibration model, adopting a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II). In this research, a full set of ride comfort as well as ride safety parameters are considered as objective functions. These objective functions are divided in to two groups (ride comfort group and ride safety group) where the ones in one group are in conflict with those in the other. Also, in this research, a special optimizing technique and combinational method consisting of weighted sum method and Pareto optimization are applied to transform Pareto double-objective optimization to Pareto full-objective optimization which can simultaneously minimize all objectives. Using this technique, the full set of ride parameters of three dimensional vehicle model are minimizing simultaneously. In derived Pareto front, unique trade-off design points can selected which are non-dominated solutions of optimizing the weighted sum comfort parameters versus weighted sum safety parameters. The comparison of the obtained results with those reported in the literature, demonstrates the distinction and comprehensiveness of the results arrived in the present study.

Most of the past studies on FMS scheduling problems may be classified into two classes, namely off-line scheduling and on-line scheduling approach. The off-line scheduling methods are used mostly for FMS planning purposes and may not be useful real time control of FMSs, because it generates solutions only after a relatively long period of time. The on-line scheduling methods are used extensively for dynamic real-time control of FMSs although the performance of on-line scheduling algorithms tends vary dramatically depending on various configurations of FMS. Current study is about finding a better on-line scheduling rules for FMS operations. In this study, we propose a method to create priority functions that can be used in setting relative priorities among jobs or machines in on-line scheduling. The priority functions reflect the configuration of FMS and the user-defined objective functions. The priority functions are generated from diverse dispatching rules which may be considered a special priority functions by themselves, and used to determine the order of processing and transporting parts. Overall system of our work consists of two modules, the Priority Function Evolution Module (PFEM) and the FMS Simulation Module (FMSSM). The PFEM generates new priority functions using input variables from a terminal set and primitive functions from a function set by genetic programming. And the FMSSM evaluates each priority function by a simulation methodology. Based on these evaluated values, the PFEM creates new priority functions by using crossover, mutation operation and probabilistic selection. These processes are iteratively applied until the termination criteria are satisfied. We considered various configurations and objective functions of FMSs in our study, and we seek a workable solution rather than an optimum or near optimum solution in scheduling FMS operations in real time. To verify the viability of our approach, experimental results of our model on real FMS are included.

This paper addresses a novel optimization technique based on molecular dynamics simulation which has been utilized for physical model simulation at various disciplines. In this study, objective functions are considered to be potential functions, which depict molecular interactions. Comparisons of typical optimization method such as the steepest descent and the present method for several test functions are made. The present method shows applicability and stability in finding a global optimum.

In this paper a new method for the design of a simple PI controller is presented and it has been applied in the control of a Boost based PFC rectifier. The Strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm, which is based on the Pareto Optimality concept, used in Game theory literature is implemented as a multi-objective optimization approach to gain a good transient response and a high quality input current. In the proposed method, the input current harmonics and the dynamic response have been assumed as objective functions, while the PI controller's gains of the PFC rectifier (Kpi, Tpi) are design variables. The proposed algorithm generates a set of optimal gains called a Pareto Set corresponding to a Pareto Front, which is a set of optimal results for the objective functions. All of the Pareto Front points are optimum, but according to the design priority objective function, each one can be selected. Simulation and experimental results are presented to prove the superiority of the proposed design methodology over other methods.
