• A tabu search method for the optimisation of fluid power circuits

      Connor, AM; Tilley, DG (SAGE Publications Ltd., 1998)
      This paper describes the development of an efficient algorithm for the optimization of fluid power circuits. The algorithm is based around the concepts of Tabu search, where different time-scale memory cycles are used as ...
    • Optimisation of power transmission systems using a discrete Tabu Search method

      Connor, AM; Tilley, DG (Professional Engineering Publishing, 1998)
      This paper presents a brief description of the Tabu Search method and shows how it can be applied to two different power transmission systems. Examples are presented from two transmission systems. In the first example a ...
