Multi-Objective Design Optimization of Branched Pipeline Systems with Analytical Assessment of Fire Flow Failure Probability

Jung, Bong; Filion, Yves; Adams, Barry; Karney, Bryan - In: Water Resources Management 27 (2013) 10, pp. 3663-3678

This paper develops a multi-objective optimization approach for incorporating the conditional probability of fire flow failure into the design of branched water networks. To this end, a new analytical probabilistic model was developed to quantify the conditional probability of fire flow failure...

Hybrid fuzzy Monte Carlo technique for reliability assessment in transmission power systems

Canizes, Bruno; Soares, João; Vale, Zita; Khodr, H.M. - In: Energy 45 (2012) 1, pp. 1007-1017

This paper proposes a new methodology to reduce the probability of occurring states that cause load curtailment, while minimizing the involved costs to achieve that reduction. The methodology is supported by a hybrid method based on Fuzzy Set and Monte Carlo Simulation to catch both randomness...

Risk process estimation techniques used in the optimisation of financial resources of an insurance company

Mircea, Iulian; Serban, Radu; Covrig, Mihaela - In: International Journal of Computational Economics and … 1 (2009) 2, pp. 225-237

In an insurance company, the risk process estimation and the estimation of the ruin probability are important concerns for an actuary: for researchers, at the theoretical level, and for the management of the company, as these influence the insurer strategy. We consider the evolution over an...

Stochastic Optimization for mechanical structures

Vietor, Thomas - In: Mathematical Methods of Operations Research 46 (1997) 3, pp. 377-408

The Stochastic Optimization Problem is well known in mathematics and operations research. Due to increasing demands for performance improvement together with reduced weight and costs the introduction of uncertainties into optimization problems in mechanical engineering is also necessary. In a...
