This study presents a genetic algorithm-based method for optimizing control parameters in fluid power systems. Genetic algorithms are general-purpose optimization methods based on natural evolution and genetics. A genetic algorithm seeks control parameters maximizing a measure that evaluates system performance. Five control gains of the PID-PD cascade controller fr an electrohydraulic speed control system with a variable displacement hydraulic motor are optimized using a genetic algorithm in the experiment. Optimized gains are confirmed by inspecting the fitness distribution which represents system performance in gain spaces. It is shown that optimization of the five gains by manual tuning should be a task of great difficulty and that a genetic algorithm is an efficient scheme giving economy of time and in labor in optimizing control parameters of fluid power systems.

This paper presents an active noise control algorithm via Walsh transform domain controller learned by genetic algorithm. Typical active noise control algorithms such as the filtered-x lms algorithm are based on the gradient algorithm. Gradient algorithm have two major problems; local minima and eigenvalue ratio. To solve these problems, we propose a combined algorithm which consist of genetic learning algorithm and discrete Walsh transform called Walsh Transform Domain Genetic Algorithm(WTDGA). Analyses and computer simulations on the effect of Walsh transform to the genetic algorithm are performed. The results show that WTDGA increase convergence speed and reduce steady state errors.

A nonlinear channel blind equalizer by using a hybrid genetic algorithm, which merges a genetic algorithm with simulated annealing, and a RBF network is presented. In this study, a hybrid genetic algorithm is used to estimate the output states of a nonlinear channel, based on the Bayesian likelihood fitness function, instead of the channel parameters. From these estimated output states, the desired channel states of the nonlinear channel are derived and placed at the center of a RBF equalizer to reconstruct transmitted symbols. In the simulations, binary signals are generated at random with Gaussian noise. The performance of the proposed method is compared with those of a conventional genetic algorithm(GA) and a simplex GA, and the relatively high accuracy and fast convergence of the method are achieved.

In this paper a method of finding optimal positions for piezoelectric actuators and sensors on different structures is presented. The genetic algorithm and multi-objective genetic algorithm are selected for optimization and $H_{\infty}$ norm is defined as a cost function for the optimization process. To optimize the placement concerning the selected modes simultaneously, the multi-objective genetic algorithm is used. The optimization is investigated for two different structures: a cantilever beam and a simply supported plate. Vibrating structures are controlled in a closed loop with feedback gains, which are obtained using optimal LQ control strategy. Finally, output of a structure with optimized placement is compared with the output of the structure with an arbitrary, non-optimal placement of piezoelectric patches.

Optimization of engine desist and operation parameters using a genetic algorithm was demonstrated for direct injection diesel engine combustion. A micro genetic algorithm and a modified KIVA-3V code were used for the analysis and optimization of the engine combustion. At each generation of the optimization step the micro genetic algorithm generated five groups of parameter sets, and the five cases of KIVA-3V analysis were to be performed either in series or in parallel. The micro genetic algorithm code was also parallelized by using MPI programming, and a multi-CPU parallel supercomputer was used to speed up the optimization process by four times. An example case for a fixed engine speed was performed with six parameters of intake swirl ratio, compression ratio, fuel injection included angle, injector hole number, SOI, and injection duration. A simultaneous optimization technique for the whole range of engine speeds would be suggested for further studies.

The objective of this study is the development of size, shape and topology discrete optimum design algorithm which is based on the genetic algorithms. The algorithm can perform both shape and topology optimum designs of trusses. The developed algorithm was implemented in a computer program. For the optimum design, the objective function is the weight of trusses and the constraints are stress and displacement. The basic search method for the optimum design is the genetic algorithms. The algorithm is known to be very efficient for the discrete optimization. The genetic algorithm consists of genetic process and evolutionary process. The genetic process selects the next design points based on the survivability of the current design points. The evolutionary process evaluates the survivability of the design points selected from the genetic process. The efficiency and validity of the developed size, shape and topology discrete optimum design algorithms were verified by applying the algorithm to optimum design examples

Genetic algorithms are becoming more popular because of their relative simplicity and robustness. Genetic algorithms are global search techniques for nonlinear optimization. However, traditional genetic algorithms, though robust, are generally not the most successful optimization algorithm on any particular domain because they are poor at hill-climbing, whereas simulated annealing has the ability of probabilistic hill-climbing. Therefore, hybridizing a genetic algorithm with other algorithms can produce better performance than using the genetic algorithm or other algorithms independently. In this paper, we propose an efficient hybrid optimization algorithm named the adaptive random signal-based learning. Random signal-based learning is similar to the reinforcement learning of neural networks. This paper describes the application of genetic algorithms and simulated annealing to a random signal-based learning in order to generate the parameters and reinforcement signal of the random signal-based learning, respectively. The validity of the proposed algorithm is confirmed by applying it to two different examples.

본 논문에서는 기존의 유전자 알고리즘을 대신하여 병렬 마이크로 유전자 알고리즘을 사용한 복합재료 적층 구조물의 최적설계를 수행하였다. 마이크로 유전자 알고리즘은 한 세대 당 보통 5개의 개체로 해를 탐색한다 비록 세대를 구성하는 인구수는 적지만 공칭수렴 판단과 재초기화 과정을 통해 다양성을 제공하기 때문에 최적해 탐색이 가능하다. 2가지의 복합재 구조물의 최적화 문제를 가정하고 이를 마이크로 유전자 알고리즘을 사용하여 해를 구하였다. 효율성 판단을 위해서 기존의 유전자 알고리즘과 결과를 비교하였다. 두 문제 모두 마이크로 유전자 알고리즘이 비슷한 결과를 도출하면서도 약 70%의 계산량 감소를 보였다. 마이크로 유전자 알고리즘을 사용하여 일정 범위 내에서 변하는 하중을 받고 있는 복합재 적층 구조물의 최적설계를 수행하였다. 계산 결과 고정된 하중상태 하에서 얻은 최적해보다 하중 변화에 덜 민감한 설계변수를 얻을 수 있었다. 이상의 문제를 통해 다양한 설계변수를 갖는 복합재 적층 구조물의 최적설계의 한 방법으로서 마이크로 유전자 알고리즘이 효율적임을 확인하였다.
