Risk-based life cycle cost analysis using a two-level multi-objective genetic algorithm Int. J. Comput. Integr. Manuf. (IF 2.861) Pub Date : 2020-05-12 Yamur K. Al-Douri; Hussan Al-Chalabi; Jan Lundberg
ABSTRACT The aim of this study has been to develop a two-level multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) to optimize risk-based LCC analysis to find the optimal maintenance replacement time for road tunnel ventilation fans. Level 1 uses a MOGA based on a financial risk model to provide different risk percentages, while level 2 uses a MOGA based on an LCC model to estimate the optimal fan replacement
