The paper describes a procedure for automatic selection of symptoms accompanying the break in the synchronous motor armature winding coils. This procedure, called the feature selection, leads to choosing from a full set of features describing the problem, such a subset that would allow the best distinguishing between healthy and damaged states. As the features the spectra components amplitudes of the motor current signals were used. The full spectra of current signals are considered as the multidimensional feature spaces and their subspaces are tested. Particular subspaces are chosen with the aid of genetic algorithm and their goodness is tested using Mahalanobis distance measure. The algorithm searches for such a subspaces for which this distance is the greatest. The algorithm is very efficient and, as it was confirmed by research, leads to good results. The proposed technique is successfully applied in many other fields of science and technology, including medical diagnostics.

Genetic algorithms have been used to solve many water distribution system optimization problems, but have generally been limited to steady state or quasi-steady state optimization. However, transient events within pipe system are inevitable and the effect of water hammer should not be overlooked. The purpose of this paper is to optimize the selection, sizing and placement of hydraulic devices in a pipeline system considering its transient response. A global optimal solution using genetic algorithm suggests optimal size, location and number of hydraulic devices to cope with water hammer. This study shows that the integration of a genetic algorithm code with a transient simulator can improve both the design and the response of a pipe network. This study also shows that the selection of optimum protection strategy is an integrated problem, involving consideration of loading condition, device and system characteristics, and protection strategy. Simpler transient control systems are often found to outperform more complex ones.

This paper outlines a framework for applying a genetic algorithm to the selection of component variants between the conceptual and detailed design stages of product development. A genetic algorithm (GA) is defined for the problem and an example is presented that demonstrates its application and usefulness. Functional modeling techniques are used to formulate the design problem and generate the chromosomes that are evaluated with the algorithm. In the presented example, suitable GA parameters and the break-even point where the GA surpassed an enumerated search of the same solution space were found. Recommend uses of the GA along with limitations of the method and future work are presented as well.

The selection of measurements in multi-station machining systems is currently not a systematic process and it involves expert human intervention. In this paper, the recently introduced formal methods for quantitative characterization of measurement schemes in multi-station machining systems are employed in devising systematic measurement scheme synthesis procedures. The newly proposed synthesis procedures were applied in devising measurement schemes in the process used to machine a car engine cylinder head. It was observed that the measurement scheme synthesis procedure based on a genetic algorithm robustly outperformed the synthesis procedures based on the heuristics of successive measurement removal.

The visualization of search space makes it easy to understand the behavior of the Genetic Algorithm (GA). The authors propose a novel way for representation of multidimensional search space of the GA using 2-D graph. This is carried out based on the gene values of the current generation, and human intervention is only required after several generations. The main contribution of this research is to propose an approach to visualize the GA search data and improve the searching process of the GA with human’s intention in different generations. Besides the selection of best individual or parents for the next generation, interference of human is required to propose a new individual in the search space. Active human intervention leads to a faster searching, resulting in less user fatigue. The experiments were carried out by evolving the parameters to derive the rules for a Parametric L-System. These rules are then used to model the growth process of branching structures in 3-D space. The experiments were conducted to evaluate the ability of the proposed approach to converge to optimized solution as compared to the Simple Genetic Algorithm (SGA).
