Abstract

Customers' special need is one of the key drivers in product configuration design. The complexity of configuration design for large container cranes is known as non-deternistic polynoal-time (NP) hard. We are interested in the fast configuration model and method that support large container cranes configuration. In this paper, a rapid configuration design framework for large-scale container cranes is proposed. A constrained 0-1 programng gene evolutionary model is constructed. We propose . A design example of the cart mechanism is provided to test the validity and evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method, in which performances of different algorithms are compared. Results have shown that the method presented here is able to converge with solutions of good quality.
