The aim of this paper is the estimation of the parameters of possible equations, which describe the current during an electrostatic discharge using genetic algorithms. Aberrations between simulations and the waveform described in the standard render necessary the development of an equation that will describe the discharge current. The input data of the genetic algorithm are real current measurements produced by an electrostatic discharge generator. By using these data, the genetic algorithm is a means to find optimized parameters of the mathematical equations. The satisfactory agreement between the experimental and optimized data proves the efficiency of the genetic algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
