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.
