A MULTIOBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION OF RADIATIVE FIN ARRAY SYSTEMS IN A FUZZY ENVIRONMENT

This study analyzes and optimizes a new design for a four-fin radiatin g fin array system in a multi-objective fuzzy optimization environment . The conflicting objectives of minimizing both weight and horizontal size are considered simultaneously in the fuzzy optimization logic. A fuzzy feasible domain is constructed by considering all of the fuzzy s ets individually defined by the fuzzy objectives and constraints, The system is optimized by maximizing the fuzzy decision function. A syste matic procedure of the fuzzy optimization is discussed in detail.
