Evaluation of inverse analysis methods with numerical simulation for slope excavation

Insufficient information on soil parameters and their spatial variability pose as a main factors of uncertainty in geotechnical design. When soil response differs from the expected, the notion of inverse analysis becomes relevant; back-calculating the parameter set able to reproduce the monitored observations. Accordingly, its application...

Loudspeaker Filter Design With AI: Genetic Algorithm Selection Methods

This thesis details the design of a selection operator used in a Genetic Algorithm. The Genetic Algorithm is used for loudspeaker filter design of three way loudspeakers for which tournament selection was chosen as selection operator. A methodology is proposed and used to tune the parameters of tournament selection, which is based on diversity...
