The document describes reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) using a cell evolution method. RBDO aims to find optimal designs that satisfy reliability constraints accounting for uncertainties. Traditional RBDO methods are either computationally expensive double-loop approaches or faster single-loop approaches with reduced accuracy. The proposed cell evolution method generates reliability-test cells using genetic algorithms to efficiently and accurately solve RBDO problems. Numerical examples demonstrate the method finds optimal designs matching other approaches but with improved computational efficiency.
This document is for all crusious learners who want to learn about various tests of materials on "Universal Testing Machine" ie. UTM.
it is also beneficial for engineering students studying mechanical engineering or civil engineering at any institute.

[E-book at Google Play Books] MATLAB Applications in Chemical Engineering (20...Chyi-Tsong Chen
This book addresses the applications of MATLAB and Simulink in the solution of chemical engineering problems. By classifying the problems into seven different categories, the author organizes this book as follows:
Chapter One - Solution of a System of Linear Equations
Chapter Two - Solution of Nonlinear Equations
Chapter Three - Interpolation, Differentiation and Integration
Chapter Four- Numerical Solution of Ordinary Differential Equations
Chapter Five - Numerical solution of Partial Differential Equations
Chapter Six - Process Optimization
Chapter Seven - Parameter Estimation
Each chapter is arranged in four major parts. In the first part, the basic problem patterns that can be solved with MATLAB are presented. The second part describes how to apply MATLAB commands to solve the formulated problems in the field of chemical engineering. In the third and the fourth parts, exercises and summary of MATLAB instructions are provided, respectively. The description of the chemical engineering example follows the sequence of problem formulation, model analysis, MATLAB program design, execution results, and discussion. In this way, learners are first aware of the basic problem patterns and the underlying chemical engineering principles, followed by further familiarizing themselves with the relevant MATLAB instructions and programming skills. Readers are encouraged to do exercises to practice their problem-solving skills and deepen the fundamental knowledge of chemical engineering and relevant application problems.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

22. What is genetic algorithm (GA)?
GA is a particular class of evolutionary algorithm
Initially developed by Prof. John Holland
"Adaptation in natural and artificial systems“, University of Michigan press, 1975
Based on Darwin’s theory of evolution
“Natural Selection” & “Survival of the fittest”
物競天擇 適者生存 不適者淘汰
Imitate the mechanism
of biological evolution
- Crossover
- Mutation
- Reprodution
23. Evolution in biology (1/3)
Organisms produce a number of offspring similar
to themselves but can have variations due to:
(a) Crossover (Sexual reproduction )
Parents offspring

Ref. :http://www.cas.mcmaster.ca/~cs777/presentations/3_GO_Olesya_Genetic_Algorithms.pdf
26. Traditional GA
- binary-coded
All variables of interest must be encoded as binary
digits (genes) forming a string (chromosome).
Gene – a single encoding of part of the solution space.
Chromosome – a string of genes that represent a solution.
1 gene
1 1 0 1 0 chromosome
IMG from http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/cell-dna.jpg
27. Real-coded GA (RCGA)
All genes in chromosome are real numbers
- suitable for most systems.
- genes are directly real values during genetic
operations.
- the length of chromosomes is shorter than that in
binary-coded, so it can be easily performed.

62. Conclusions
Single- and multi-objective cell evolution
methods have been developed for reliability-
based design optimization.
Simulation results reveal that the proposed
method is able to achieve accurate solution for
RBDO without sacrificing computational
efficiency.
Application examples indicate the proposed cell
evolution method is a promising approach to
chemical process design under uncertainties.
