.... Then, the two aforementioned processes are described: the construction of the surrogate, based on the Finite Element Method well-chosen computations, and the Multiobjective Optimization, thanks to a Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm. Both are utilized on a connecting rod big-end bearing. As a result...

... of the results yields the bearing load capacity and friction coefficient. The geometry of the textured channel is defined parametrically for several width-to-length ratios. Optimal texturing geometries are obtained by utilizing an optimization tool based on genetic algorithms, which is coupled to the CFD code...

... to the slider during a shock event. The time-dependent forces and moments are applied as external loads in a solution of the dynamic Reynolds equation to determine the slider response to a shock event. The genetic algorithm was then used to optimize the air bearing contour for optimum shock response while...

... or not. Then, a genetic algorithm is employed for the determination of the optimal solution from the possible candidates. An example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The resulting optimal design has a topology different from those of the initial designs and possesses improved...
