Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA Constraint-Handling Technique for Genetic Algorithms using a Violation FactorAdam Chehouri, Rafic Younes, Jean Perron, Adrian IlincaOver the years, several meta-heuristic algorithms were proposed and are now emerging as common methods for constrained optimization problems. Among them, genetic algorithms (GA’s) shine as popular evolutionary algorithms (EA’s) in engineering optimization. Most engineering design problems are difficult to resolve with conventional optimization algorithms because they are highly nonlinear and contain constraints. In order to handle these constraints, the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 7 · 31 Aug 2016 · 8,751 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParticle Swarm Optimization Approach for Optimal Design of Switched Reluctance MachineMahadevan Balaji, Vijayarajan KamarajProblem statement: Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are widely used in various applications due to their inherent simplicity and rugged construction In SRM, torque output and torque ripple are sensitive to stator and rotor pole arcs and their selection is a vital part of SRM design process. In this study Particle Swarm Optimization technique is proposed for determining optimum pole arc … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,328 accessesView PDF Cite
