However, an overly finetuned strategy or technique might overfit some problem types,resulting in a lack of versatility. In this article, we propose a generic search strategy that performs an even search in a promising region. The promising region, determined by obtained feasible non-dominated solutions, possesses two general properties.First, the constrained Pareto front(CPF) is included in the promising region. Second, as the number of feasible solutions increases or the convergence performance(i.e., approximation to the CPF) of these solutions improves, the promising region shrinks. Then we develop a new strategy named even search,which utilizes the non-dominated solutions to accelerate convergence and escape from local optima, and the feasible solutions under a constraint relaxation condition to exploit and detect feasible regions. Finally, a diversity measure is adopted to make sure that the individuals in the population evenly cover the valuable areas in the promising region. Experimental results on 45 instances from four benchmark test suites and 14 real-world CMOPs have demonstrated that searching evenly in the promising region can achieve competitive performance and excellent versatility compared to 11 most state-of-the-art methods tailored for CMOPs.展开更多

Firstly, urgency cost, economic cost, and transportation distance cost were identified as key objectives. The study applied fuzzy theory integration to construct a triangular fuzzy multi-objective site selection decision model. Next, the defuzzification theory transformed the fuzzy decision model into a precise one. Subsequently, an improved Chaotic Quantum Multi-Objective Harris Hawks Optimization (CQ-MOHHO) algorithm was proposed to solve the model. The CQ-MOHHO algorithm was shown to rapidly produce high-quality Pareto front solutions and identify optimal site selection schemes for emergency resource distribution centers through case studies. This outcome verified the feasibility and efficacy of the site selection decision model and the CQ-MOHHO algorithm. To further assess CQ-MOHHO’s performance, Zitzler-Deb-Thiele (ZDT) test functions, commonly used in multi-objective optimization, were employed. Comparisons with Multi-Objective Harris Hawks Optimization (MOHHO), Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II), and Multi-Objective Grey Wolf Optimizer (MOGWO) using Generational Distance (GD), Hypervolume (HV), and Inverted Generational Distance (IGD) metrics showed that CQ-MOHHO achieved superior global search ability, faster convergence, and higher solution quality. The CQ-MOHHO algorithm efficiently achieved a balance between multiple objectives, providing decision-makers with satisfactory solutions and a valuable reference for researching and applying emergency site selection problems.展开更多

文摘Cloud computing has become an essential technology for the management and processing of large datasets,offering scalability,high availability,and fault tolerance.However,optimizing data replication across multiple data centers poses a significant challenge,especially when balancing opposing goals such as latency,storage costs,energy consumption,and network efficiency.This study introduces a novel Dynamic Optimization Algorithm called Dynamic Multi-Objective Gannet Optimization(DMGO),designed to enhance data replication efficiency in cloud environments.Unlike traditional static replication systems,DMGO adapts dynamically to variations in network conditions,system demand,and resource availability.The approach utilizes multi-objective optimization approaches to efficiently balance data access latency,storage efficiency,and operational costs.DMGO consistently evaluates data center performance and adjusts replication algorithms in real time to guarantee optimal system efficiency.Experimental evaluations conducted in a simulated cloud environment demonstrate that DMGO significantly outperforms conventional static algorithms,achieving faster data access,lower storage overhead,reduced energy consumption,and improved scalability.The proposed methodology offers a robust and adaptable solution for modern cloud systems,ensuring efficient resource consumption while maintaining high performance.

文摘The intermittency and volatility of wind and photovoltaic power generation exacerbate issues such as wind and solar curtailment,hindering the efficient utilization of renewable energy and the low-carbon development of energy systems.To enhance the consumption capacity of green power,the green power system consumption optimization scheduling model(GPS-COSM)is proposed,which comprehensively integrates green power system,electric boiler,combined heat and power unit,thermal energy storage,and electrical energy storage.The optimization objectives are to minimize operating cost,minimize carbon emission,and maximize the consumption of wind and solar curtailment.The multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is employed to solve the model,and a fuzzy membership function is introduced to evaluate the satisfaction level of the Pareto optimal solution set,thereby selecting the optimal compromise solution to achieve a dynamic balance among economic efficiency,environmental friendliness,and energy utilization efficiency.Three typical operating modes are designed for comparative analysis.The results demonstrate that the mode involving the coordinated operation of electric boiler,thermal energy storage,and electrical energy storage performs the best in terms of economic efficiency,environmental friendliness,and renewable energy utilization efficiency,achieving the wind and solar curtailment consumption rate of 99.58%.The application of electric boiler significantly enhances the direct accommodation capacity of the green power system.Thermal energy storage optimizes intertemporal regulation,while electrical energy storage strengthens the system’s dynamic regulation capability.The coordinated optimization of multiple devices significantly reduces reliance on fossil fuels.
文摘Impinging jet arrays are extensively used in numerous industrial operations,including the cooling of electronics,turbine blades,and other high-heat flux systems because of their superior heat transfer capabilities.Optimizing the design and operating parameters of such systems is essential to enhance cooling efficiency and achieve uniform pressure distribution,which can lead to improved system performance and energy savings.This paper presents two multi-objective optimization methodologies for a turbulent air jet impingement cooling system.The governing equations are resolved employing the commercial computational fluid dynamics(CFD)software ANSYS Fluent v17.The study focuses on four controlling parameters:Reynolds number(Re),swirl number(S),jet-to-jet separation distance(Z/D),and impingement height(H/D).The effects of these parameters on heat transfer and impingement pressure distribution are investigated.Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm(NSGA-II)and Weighted Sum Method(WSM)are employed to optimize the controlling parameters for maximum cooling performance.The aim is to identify optimal design parameters and system configurations that enhance heat transfer efficiency while achieving a uniform impingement pressure distribution.These findings have practical implications for applications requiring efficient cooling.The optimized design achieved a 12.28%increase in convective heat transfer efficiency with a local Nusselt number of 113.05 compared to 100.69 in the reference design.Enhanced convective cooling and heat flux were observed in the optimized configuration,particularly in areas of direct jet impingement.Additionally,the optimized design maintained lower wall temperatures,demonstrating more effective thermal dissipation.

文摘In recent years,decomposition-based evolutionary algorithms have become popular algorithms for solving multi-objective problems in real-life scenarios.In these algorithms,the reference vectors of the Penalty-Based boundary intersection(PBI)are distributed parallelly while those based on the normal boundary intersection(NBI)are distributed radially in a conical shape in the objective space.To improve the problem-solving effectiveness of multi-objective optimization algorithms in engineering applications,this paper addresses the improvement of the Collaborative Decomposition(CoD)method,a multi-objective decomposition technique that integrates PBI and NBI,and combines it with the Elephant Clan Optimization Algorithm,introducing the Collaborative Decomposition Multi-objective Improved Elephant Clan Optimization Algorithm(CoDMOIECO).Specifically,a novel subpopulation construction method with adaptive changes following the number of iterations and a novel individual merit ranking based onNBI and angle are proposed.,enabling the creation of subpopulations closely linked to weight vectors and the identification of diverse individuals within them.Additionally,new update strategies for the clan leader,male elephants,and juvenile elephants are introduced to boost individual exploitation capabilities and further enhance the algorithm’s convergence.Finally,a new CoD-based environmental selection method is proposed,introducing adaptive dynamically adjusted angle coefficients and individual angles on corresponding weight vectors,significantly improving both the convergence and distribution of the algorithm.Experimental comparisons on the ZDT,DTLZ,and WFG function sets with four benchmark multi-objective algorithms—MOEA/D,CAMOEA,VaEA,and MOEA/D-UR—demonstrate that CoDMOIECO achieves superior performance in both convergence and distribution.

文摘The spoke as a key component has a significant impact on the performance of the non-pneumatic tire(NPT).The current research has focused on adjusting spoke structures to improve the single performance of NPT.Few studies have been conducted to synergistically improve multi-performance by optimizing the spoke structure.Inspired by the concept of functionally gradient structures,this paper introduces a functionally gradient honeycomb NPT and its optimization method.Firstly,this paper completes the parameterization of the honeycomb spoke structure and establishes the numerical models of honeycomb NPTs with seven different gradients.Subsequently,the accuracy of the numerical models is verified using experimental methods.Then,the static and dynamic characteristics of these gradient honeycomb NPTs are thoroughly examined by using the finite element method.The findings highlight that the gradient structure of NPT-3 has superior performance.Building upon this,the study investigates the effects of key parameters,such as honeycomb spoke thickness and length,on load-carrying capacity,honeycomb spoke stress and mass.Finally,a multi-objective optimization method is proposed that uses a response surface model(RSM)and the Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II(NSGA-II)to further optimize the functional gradient honeycomb NPTs.The optimized NPT-OP shows a 23.48%reduction in radial stiffness,8.95%reduction in maximum spoke stress and 16.86%reduction in spoke mass compared to the initial NPT-1.The damping characteristics of the NPT-OP have also been improved.The results offer a theoretical foundation and technical methodology for the structural design and optimization of gradient honeycomb NPTs.

文摘Addressing the complex issue of emergency resource distribution center site selection in uncertain environments, this study was conducted to comprehensively consider factors such as uncertainty parameters and the urgency of demand at disaster-affected sites. Firstly, urgency cost, economic cost, and transportation distance cost were identified as key objectives. The study applied fuzzy theory integration to construct a triangular fuzzy multi-objective site selection decision model. Next, the defuzzification theory transformed the fuzzy decision model into a precise one. Subsequently, an improved Chaotic Quantum Multi-Objective Harris Hawks Optimization (CQ-MOHHO) algorithm was proposed to solve the model. The CQ-MOHHO algorithm was shown to rapidly produce high-quality Pareto front solutions and identify optimal site selection schemes for emergency resource distribution centers through case studies. This outcome verified the feasibility and efficacy of the site selection decision model and the CQ-MOHHO algorithm. To further assess CQ-MOHHO’s performance, Zitzler-Deb-Thiele (ZDT) test functions, commonly used in multi-objective optimization, were employed. Comparisons with Multi-Objective Harris Hawks Optimization (MOHHO), Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II), and Multi-Objective Grey Wolf Optimizer (MOGWO) using Generational Distance (GD), Hypervolume (HV), and Inverted Generational Distance (IGD) metrics showed that CQ-MOHHO achieved superior global search ability, faster convergence, and higher solution quality. The CQ-MOHHO algorithm efficiently achieved a balance between multiple objectives, providing decision-makers with satisfactory solutions and a valuable reference for researching and applying emergency site selection problems.

文摘The multi-objective optimization of backfill effect based on response surface methodology and desirability function(RSM-DF)was conducted.Firstly,the test results show that the uniaxial compressive strength(UCS)increases with cement sand ratio(CSR),slurry concentration(SC),and curing age(CA),while flow resistance(FR)increases with SC and backfill flow rate(BFR),and decreases with CSR.Then the regression models of UCS and FR as response values were established through RSM.Multi-factor interaction found that CSR-CA impacted UCS most,while SC-BFR impacted FR most.By introducing the desirability function,the optimal backfill parameters were obtained based on RSM-DF(CSR is 1:6.25,SC is 69%,CA is 11.5 d,and BFR is 90 m^(3)/h),showing close results of Design Expert and high reliability for optimization.For a copper mine in China,RSM-DF optimization will reduce cement consumption by 4758 t per year,increase tailings consumption by about 6700 t,and reduce CO_(2)emission by about 4758 t.Thus,RSM-DF provides a new approach for backfill parameters optimization,which has important theoretical and practical values.

文摘This study proposes a multi-objective optimization framework for electric winches in fiber-reinforced plastic(FRP)fishing vessels to address critical limitations of conventional designs,including excessive weight,material inefficiency,and performance redundancy.By integrating surrogate modeling techniques with a multi-objective genetic algorithm(MOGA),we have developed a systematic approach that encompasses parametric modeling,finite element analysis under extreme operational conditions,and multi-fidelity performance evaluation.Through a 10-t electric winch case study,the methodology’s effectiveness is demonstrated via parametric characterization of structural integrity,stiffness behavior,and mass distribution.The comparative analysis identified optimal surrogate models for predicting key performance metrics,which enabled the construction of a robust multi-objective optimization model.The MOGA-derived Pareto solutions produced a design configuration achieving 7.86%mass reduction,2.01%safety factor improvement,and 23.97%deformation mitigation.Verification analysis confirmed the optimization scheme’s reliability in balancing conflicting design requirements.This research establishes a generalized framework for marine deck machinery modernization,particularly addressing the structural compatibility challenges in FRP vessel retrofitting.The proposed methodology demonstrates significant potential for facilitating sustainable upgrades of fishing vessel equipment through systematic performance optimization.

文摘A new hang-off system has been proposed to improve the security of risers in hang-off modes during typhoons.However,efficient anti-typhoon evacuation strategies have not been investigated.Optimiza-tion model and method for the anti-typhoon evacuation strategies should be researched.Therefore,multi-objective functions are proposed based on operation time,evacuation speed stability,and steering stability.An evacuation path model and a dynamic model of risers with the new hang-off system are developed for design variables and constraints.A multi-objective optimization model with high-dimensional variables and complex constraints is established.Finally,a three-stage optimization method based on genetic algorithm,least square method,and the penalty function method is proposed to solve the multi-objective optimization model.Optimization results show that the operation time can be reduced through operation parameter optimization,especially evacuation heading optimization.The optimal anti-typhoon strategy is evacuation with all risers suspended along a variable path when the direction angle is large,while evacuation with all risers suspended along a straight path at another di-rection angle.Besides,the influencing factors on anti-typhoon evacuation strategies indicate that the proposed optimization model and method have strong applicability to working conditions and remarkable optimization effects.
