    Improvement of system reliability in a natural gas processing facility by PSO and DE
    (Springer Nature, 2024) Saheb, Tafsouthe; Mellal, Mohamed Arezki
    The reliability of the systems as well as its optimization is the first concern of the designers. The elements of a given system can be either in series, parallel, parallel-series, or in a complex configuration. This paper addresses the reliability optimization of a natural gas processing facility. The reliability of this system is calculated and two redundancies strategies, active and standby, are optimized under the resource limits to improve reliability. Two bio-inspired optimization algorithms, namely the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and the differential evolution (DE), are implemented with penalty functions to find the optimal redundancy. The results obtained are compared.

    Multi-objective factors optimization in fused deposition modelling with particle swarm optimization and differential evolution
    (Springer, 2022) Mellal, Mohamed Arezki; Laifaoui, Chahinaze; Ghezal, Fahima; Williams, Edward J.
    The design of any system contemplates the elaboration of a prototype of the entire system or some parts, before the manufacturing phase. Nowadays, rapid prototyping (RP) is widely used by the designers. Achieving good manufacturing performances needs to handle various process parameters. Most works deal with single objective process parameters. The reality is quite different and the processes involve conflicting objectives. This paper addresses the multi-objective factors optimization of the fused deposition modelling (FDM) technology. The problem is converted into a single one using the weighted-sum method and then solved by resorting to two nature-inspired computing techniques, namely particle swarm optimization (PSO) and differential evolution (DE). The results obtained are compared
