While evolutionary algorithms are known among the best methods for solving both
theoretical and real-world optimization problems, constraint handling is still one of the major …

Engineering optimization typically involves a large number of nonlinear constraints;
therefore, effective constraint handling techniques (CHTs) are sought for metaheuristic …

With the development of computer applications in ship design, optimization, as a powerful
approach, has been widely used in the design and analysis process. However, the running …

History shows that ferry and RoPax collisions with tankers can be devastating for human life.
This paper follows up such a scenario to contribute to rational increase of safety of marine …

This paper presents an integrated design procedure for determination of structural
arrangement and scantlings for the complete structure of small high-speed craft. The …

A novel variable-fidelity optimization (VFO) scheme is presented for multi-objective genetic
algorithms. The technique uses a low-and high-fidelity version of the objective function with …

Metaheuristic algorithms are popular for solving engineering optimization problems because
of their robustness and simplicity. However, they are computationally inefficient and can …

The paper investigates the interaction between the hull and the superstructure in optimised
passenger ships when exposed to bending loads. The coupled beam theory was applied to …

Sažetak The paper describes a concept of integrated decision support system for a
methodological assessment of ship designs that provide a rational basic for making …

Omni-optimization assumes a capability to perform several types of optimization, eg single-
and multi-objective, using the same optimization algorithm, or the omni-optimizer. Here we …
