In this paper, hybrid weights-utility and Taguchi method is proposed to solve multi-objective optimization problems. The new method combines the Taguchi method and the weights-utility concept. The weights of the objective function and overall utility values are very important for the weights-utility, and must be set correctly in order to obtain an optimal solution. Application of this method to engineering design problems is illustrated with the aid of one case study, and the result shows that the weights-utlity method is able to handle multi-objective optimization problems, with an optimal solution which better meets the demand of multi-objective optimization problems than the utility concept does.

Abstract In this paper, an effective ∊-constraint heat transfer search (∊-HTS) algorithm for the multi-objective engineering design problems is presented. This algorithm is developed to solve multi-objective optimization problems by evaluating a set of single objective sub-problems. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is checked by implementing it on multi-objective benchmark problems that have various characteristics of Pareto front such as discrete, convex, and non-convex. This algorithm is also tested for several distinctive multi-objective engineering design problems, such as four bar truss problem, gear train problem, multi-plate disc brake design, speed reducer problem, welded beam design, and spring design problem. Moreover, the numerical experimentation shows that the proposed algorithm generates the solution to represent true Pareto front. Highlights A novel multi-objective optimization (MOO) algorithm is proposed. Proposed algorithm is presented to obtain the Pareto-optimal solutions. The multi-objective optimization algorithm compared with other work in the literature. Test performance of proposed algorithm on MOO benchmark/design engineering problems.

Abstract An algorithm for solving nonlinear programming problems containing integer, discrete and continuous variables is presented. Based on a commonly employed optimization algorithm, penalties on integer and/or discrete violations are imposed on the objective function to force the search to converge onto standard values. Examples are included to illustrate the practical use of this algorithm.

Engineering Design Problems

Most of the engineering design problems are intrinsically complex and difficult to solve, because of diverse solution search space, complex functions, continuous and discrete nature of decision variables, multiple objectives and hard constraints. Swarm intelligence (SI) algorithms are becoming popular in dealing with these kind of complexities. The SI algorithms being population based random search techniques, use heuristics inspired from nature to enable effective exploration of optimal solutions to complex engineering problems. The SI algorithms derived based on principles of co-operative group intelligence and collective behavior of self-organized systems. This chapter presents key principles of multi-optimization, and swarm optimization for solving multi-objective engineering design problems with illustration through few examples.

Engineering Design Problems

There are a large number of real-world engineering design problems that are multi-objective and multiconstrained, having uncertainty in their inputs. Robust optimization is developed to obtain solutions that are optimal and less sensitive to uncertainty. Since most of complex engineering design problems rely on time-consuming simulations, the robust optimization approaches may become computationally intractable. To address this issue, an advanced multi-objective robust optimization approach based on Kriging model and support vector machine (MORO-KS) is proposed in this work. First, the main problem in MORO-KS is iteratively restricted by constraint cuts formed in the subproblem. Second, each objective function is approximated by a Kriging model to predict the response value. Third, a support vector machine (SVM) classifier is constructed to replace all constraint functions classifying design alternatives into two categories: feasible and infeasible. The proposed MORO-KS approach is tested on two numerical examples and the design optimization of a micro-aerial vehicle (MAV) fuselage. Compared with the results obtained from other MORO approaches, the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed MORO-KS approach are illustrated.
