design optimization

The paper proposes a solution to the relevant scientific and applied problem of optimizing the design of chordal multi-path ultrasonic flowmeters for measuring the flow rate of distorted flows. The object of the study is the integration accuracy of the velocity profile of distorted flows using numerical integration methods. The authors have developed a methodology for searching for the optimal design parameters of chordal multi-path ultrasonic flowmeters (location coordinates and weight coefficients of their acoustic paths) based on a hybrid genetic algorithm.

This study delves into the comprehensive examination of an overhead crane's construction, focusing on its frame, columns, and beams, while considering factors such as strength, stability, and stiffness. Through an in-depth review in the design domain, it is proposed a specific structural configuration for the overhead crane. This design comprises six vertical columns supporting two longitudinal beams equipped with tracks for the trolley's longitudinal movement. Additionally, cross beams featuring winches are mounted on the trolley's cross beams.
