Intelligent Hybrid Taguchi-Genetic Algorithm for Multi-Criteria Optimization of Shaft Alignment in Marine Vessels

An intelligent hybrid Taguchi-genetic algorithm (IHTGA) is used to optimize bearing offsets and shaft alignment in a marine vessel propulsion system. The objectives are to minimize normal shaft stress and shear force. The constraints are permissible reaction force, bearing stress, shear force, and b...
