Abstract

In this paper, fuzzy reasoning, an artificial intelligence technique, is used for the optimal design of pressure water distribution networks under multiple loadings. Non-linear fuzzy membership functions are introduced to velocity and pressure constraints. Optimization is carried out by an original extension of the Dynamic Programming scheme for networks, in two stages, using a heuristic algorithm to obtain initial solutions. An original mathematical approach to the problem is presented. There is also a discussion on the selection of partial membership functions and aggregation operators.
