Abstract:A design engineer has to deal with increasingly complex design tasks on a daily basis, for which the available design time is shrinking. Market competitiveness can be improved by using optimization if the design process can be automated. If there is limited information about the behavior of the objective function, global search methods such as simulated annealing (SA) should be used. This algorithm requires the selection of a number of parameters based on the task. A procedure for reducing the time spent on tu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
