Chinese postman problem approach for a large-scale conventional rail network in Turkey [Primjena pristupa "problem kineskog poštara" na široku mre?u Turske ?eljeznice]
Özet
Every year, railways are inspected periodically to examine the status of rail tracks and ensure the safety of train operations of the railroad networks in Turkey. These inspection projects must be performed by several specialized machines with large and expensive equipment. Finding the optimum route of inspection machines that control through travelling all lines is critically important in terms of cost and distance. In current practice, determining the route of these machines is largerly manual and primarily relies on the knowledge and judgment of experts. This paper proposes Chinese Postman Problem (CPP) to solve the inspection machine routing problem. The objective is to minimize the total travel distance on the railroads by finding the shortest route. The proposed model is applied to a large-scale real world problem. Compared to the current practice the proposed approach significantly outperforms the reduced objective value by 20, 76%. © 2017, Strojarski Facultet. All rights reserved.

Nonlinear analysis of structures by Total Potential Optimization using Metaheuristic Algorithms (TPO/MA)
Toklu Y.C.; Bekdaş G.; Temür R.; Toklu Ş.Ç.; Uzun F. (Universiteit Twente, 2013)Structural analysis problems can be formulized as either root finding problems, or optimization problems. The general practice is to choose the first option directly or to convert the second option again to a root finding ... -
Estimation of physical properties of laminated composites via the method of inverse vibration problem
Balci M.; Gundogdu O. (Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2017)In this study, estimation of some physical properties of a laminated composite plate was conducted via the inverse vibration problem. Laminated composite plate was modelled and simulated to obtain vibration responses for ... -
Analysis of structures by total potential optimization using meta-heuristic algorithms (TPO/MA)
Toklu Y.C.; Toklu N.E. (Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2017)Use of meta-heuristic algorithms in analysis of structures is much more recent than their use in design of structures. Effectively, while design optimization makes use of genetic algorithms, simulated annealing, swarm ...
