This study developed a biomechanical model of the human body in a sitting posture without backrest for evaluating the vibration transmissibility and dynamic response to vertical vibration direction. In describing the human body motion, a three biomechanical models are discussed (two models are 4-DOF and one model 7-DOF). Optimization software based on stochastic techniques search methods, Genetic Algorithms (GAs), is employed to determine the human model parameters imposing some limit constraints on the model parameters. In addition, an objective function is formulated comprising the sum of errors between the computed and actual values (experimental data). The studied functions are the driving-point mechanical impedance, apparent mass and seat- to-head transmissibility functions. The optimization process increased the average goodness of fit and the results of studied functions became much closer to the target values (Experimental data). From the optimized model, the resonant frequencies of the driver parts computed on the basis of biodynamic response functions are found to be within close bounds to that expected for the human body.展开更多

We firstly present an approach to construct a directed fuzzy graph of an evolutionary population according to individuals’ dominance relations, cut-set levels and interval dominance probabilities, and then calculate an individual’s crisp fitness based on the out-degree and in-degree of the fuzzy graph. The approach to obtain training data is achieved using the fuzzy entropy of the evolutionary system to guarantee the credibilities of the samples which are used to train the surrogate model. We adopt a support vector regression machine as the surrogate model and train it using the sampled individuals and their crisp fitness. Then the surrogate model is optimized using the traditional genetic algorithm for some generations, and some good individuals are submitted to the user for the subsequent evolutions so as to guide and accelerate the evolution. Finally, we quantitatively analyze the performance of the presented algorithm in alleviating user fatigue and increasing more opportunities to find the satisfactory individuals, and also apply our algorithm to a fashion evolutionary design system to demonstrate its efficiency.展开更多

文摘Direct soil temperature(ST)measurement is time-consuming and costly;thus,the use of simple and cost-effective machine learning(ML)tools is helpful.In this study,ML approaches,including KStar,instance-based K-nearest learning(IBK),and locally weighted learning(LWL),coupled with resampling algorithms of bagging(BA)and dagging(DA)(BA-IBK,BA-KStar,BA-LWL,DA-IBK,DA-KStar,and DA-LWL)were developed and tested for multi-step ahead(3,6,and 9 d ahead)ST forecasting.In addition,a linear regression(LR)model was used as a benchmark to evaluate the results.A dataset was established,with daily ST time-series at 5 and 50 cm soil depths in a farmland as models’output and meteorological data as models’input,including mean(T_(mean)),minimum(Tmin),and maximum(T_(max))air temperatures,evaporation(Eva),sunshine hours(SSH),and solar radiation(SR),which were collected at Isfahan Synoptic Station(Iran)for 13 years(1992–2005).Six different input combination scenarios were selected based on Pearson’s correlation coefficients between inputs and outputs and fed into the models.We used 70%of the data to train the models,with the remaining 30%used for model evaluation via multiple visual and quantitative metrics.Our?ndings showed that T_(mean)was the most effective input variable for ST forecasting in most of the developed models,while in some cases the combinations of variables,including T_(mean)and T_(max)and T_(mean),T_(max),Tmin,Eva,and SSH proved to be the best input combinations.Among the evaluated models,BA-KStar showed greater compatibility,while in most cases,BA-IBK and-LWL provided more accurate results,depending on soil depth.For the 5 cm soil depth,BA-KStar had superior performance(i.e.,Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency(NSE)=0.90,0.87,and 0.85 for 3,6,and 9 d ahead forecasting,respectively);for the 50 cm soil depth,DA-KStar outperformed the other models(i.e.,NSE=0.88,0.89,and 0.89 for 3,6,and 9 d ahead forecasting,respectively).The results con?rmed that all hybrid models had higher prediction capabilities than the LR model.

文摘We propose a surrogate model-assisted algorithm by using a directed fuzzy graph to extract a user’s cognition on evaluated individuals in order to alleviate user fatigue in interactive genetic algorithms with an individual’s fuzzy and stochastic fitness. We firstly present an approach to construct a directed fuzzy graph of an evolutionary population according to individuals’ dominance relations, cut-set levels and interval dominance probabilities, and then calculate an individual’s crisp fitness based on the out-degree and in-degree of the fuzzy graph. The approach to obtain training data is achieved using the fuzzy entropy of the evolutionary system to guarantee the credibilities of the samples which are used to train the surrogate model. We adopt a support vector regression machine as the surrogate model and train it using the sampled individuals and their crisp fitness. Then the surrogate model is optimized using the traditional genetic algorithm for some generations, and some good individuals are submitted to the user for the subsequent evolutions so as to guide and accelerate the evolution. Finally, we quantitatively analyze the performance of the presented algorithm in alleviating user fatigue and increasing more opportunities to find the satisfactory individuals, and also apply our algorithm to a fashion evolutionary design system to demonstrate its efficiency.

文摘Cancer is a common term for many diseases that can affect any part of the body.In 2020,ten million people will die due to cancer.A worldwide leading cause of death is cancer by the World Health Organization(WHO)report.Interaction of cancer cells,viral therapy,and immune response are identified in this model.Mathematical and computational modeling is an effective tool to predict the dynamics of cancer virotherapy.The cell population is categorized into three parts like uninfected cells(x),infected cells(y),virus-free cells(v),and immune cells(z).The modeling of cancerlike diseases is based on the law of mass action(the rate of change of reacting substances is directly proportional to the product of interacting substances).Positivity,boundedness,equilibria,threshold analysis,are part of deterministic modeling.Later on,a numerical analysis is designed by using the standard and non-standard finite difference methods.The non-standard finite difference method is developed to study the long-term behavior of the cancer model.For its efficiency,a comparison of the methods is investigated.

文摘This study delineates the development of the optimization framework for the preliminary design phase of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines(FOWTs),and the central challenge addressed is the optimization of the FOWT platform dimensional parameters in relation to motion responses.Although the three-dimensional potential flow(TDPF)panel method is recognized for its precision in calculating FOWT motion responses,its computational intensity necessitates an alternative approach for efficiency.Herein,a novel application of varying fidelity frequency-domain computational strategies is introduced,which synthesizes the strip theory with the TDPF panel method to strike a balance between computational speed and accuracy.The Co-Kriging algorithm is employed to forge a surrogate model that amalgamates these computational strategies.Optimization objectives are centered on the platform’s motion response in heave and pitch directions under general sea conditions.The steel usage,the range of design variables,and geometric considerations are optimization constraints.The angle of the pontoons,the number of columns,the radius of the central column and the parameters of the mooring lines are optimization constants.This informed the structuring of a multi-objective optimization model utilizing the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm Ⅱ(NSGA-Ⅱ)algorithm.For the case of the IEA UMaine VolturnUS-S Reference Platform,Pareto fronts are discerned based on the above framework and delineate the relationship between competing motion response objectives.The efficacy of final designs is substantiated through the time-domain calculation model,which ensures that the motion responses in extreme sea conditions are superior to those of the initial design.

文摘Parameter extraction of photovoltaic(PV)models is crucial for the planning,optimization,and control of PV systems.Although some methods using meta-heuristic algorithms have been proposed to determine these parameters,the robustness of solutions obtained by these methods faces great challenges when the complexity of the PV model increases.The unstable results will affect the reliable operation and maintenance strategies of PV systems.In response to this challenge,an improved rime optimization algorithm with enhanced exploration and exploitation,termed TERIME,is proposed for robust and accurate parameter identification for various PV models.Specifically,the differential evolution mutation operator is integrated in the exploration phase to enhance the population diversity.Meanwhile,a new exploitation strategy incorporating randomization and neighborhood strategies simultaneously is developed to maintain the balance of exploitation width and depth.The TERIME algorithm is applied to estimate the optimal parameters of the single diode model,double diode model,and triple diode model combined with the Lambert-W function for three PV cell and module types including RTC France,Photo Watt-PWP 201 and S75.According to the statistical analysis in 100 runs,the proposed algorithm achieves more accurate and robust parameter estimations than other techniques to various PV models in varying environmental conditions.All of our source codes are publicly available at https://github.com/dirge1/TERIME.

文摘To address the challenge of identifying the primary causes of energy consumption fluctuations and accurately assessing the influence of various factors in the converter unit of an iron and steel plant,the focus is placed on the critical components of material and heat balance.Through a thorough analysis of the interactions between various components and energy consumptions,six pivotal factors have been identified—raw material composition,steel type,steel temperature,slag temperature,recycling practices,and operational parameters.Utilizing a framework based on an equivalent energy consumption model,an integrated intelligent diagnostic model has been developed that encapsulates these factors,providing a comprehensive assessment tool for converter energy consumption.Employing the K-means clustering algorithm,historical operational data from the converter have been meticulously analyzed to determine baseline values for essential variables such as energy consumption and recovery rates.Building upon this data-driven foundation,an innovative online system for the intelligent diagnosis of converter energy consumption has been crafted and implemented,enhancing the precision and efficiency of energy management.Upon implementation with energy consumption data at a steel plant in 2023,the diagnostic analysis performed by the system exposed significant variations in energy usage across different converter units.The analysis revealed that the most significant factor influencing the variation in energy consumption for both furnaces was the steel grade,with contributions of−0.550 and 0.379.

文摘With the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence(AI)in domains such as power,transportation,and finance,the number of machine learning and deep learning models has grown exponentially.However,challenges such as delayed retraining,inconsistent version management,insufficient drift monitoring,and limited data security still hinder efficient and reliable model operations.To address these issues,this paper proposes the Intelligent Model Lifecycle Management Algorithm(IMLMA).The algorithm employs a dual-trigger mechanism based on both data volume thresholds and time intervals to automate retraining,and applies Bayesian optimization for adaptive hyperparameter tuning to improve performance.A multi-metric replacement strategy,incorporating MSE,MAE,and R2,ensures that new models replace existing ones only when performance improvements are guaranteed.A versioning and traceability database supports comparison and visualization,while real-time monitoring with stability analysis enables early warnings of latency and drift.Finally,hash-based integrity checks secure both model files and datasets.Experimental validation in a power metering operation scenario demonstrates that IMLMA reduces model update delays,enhances predictive accuracy and stability,and maintains low latency under high concurrency.This work provides a practical,reusable,and scalable solution for intelligent model lifecycle management,with broad applicability to complex systems such as smart grids.
文摘The objective of this study is to develop an advanced approach to variogram modelling by integrating genetic algorithms(GA)with machine learning-based linear regression,aiming to improve the accuracy and efficiency of geostatistical analysis,particularly in mineral exploration.The study combines GA and machine learning to optimise variogram parameters,including range,sill,and nugget,by minimising the root mean square error(RMSE)and maximising the coefficient of determination(R^(2)).The experimental variograms were computed and modelled using theoretical models,followed by optimisation via evolutionary algorithms.The method was applied to gravity data from the Ngoura-Batouri-Kette mining district in Eastern Cameroon,covering 141 data points.Sequential Gaussian Simulations(SGS)were employed for predictive mapping to validate simulated results against true values.Key findings show variograms with ranges between 24.71 km and 49.77 km,opti-mised RMSE and R^(2) values of 11.21 mGal^(2) and 0.969,respectively,after 42 generations of GA optimisation.Predictive mapping using SGS demonstrated that simulated values closely matched true values,with the simu-lated mean at 21.75 mGal compared to the true mean of 25.16 mGal,and variances of 465.70 mGal^(2) and 555.28 mGal^(2),respectively.The results confirmed spatial variability and anisotropies in the N170-N210 directions,consistent with prior studies.This work presents a novel integration of GA and machine learning for variogram modelling,offering an automated,efficient approach to parameter estimation.The methodology significantly enhances predictive geostatistical models,contributing to the advancement of mineral exploration and improving the precision and speed of decision-making in the petroleum and mining industries.

文摘Accurate and reliable photovoltaic(PV)modeling is crucial for the performance evaluation,control,and optimization of PV systems.However,existing methods for PV parameter identification often suffer from limitations in accuracy and efficiency.To address these challenges,we propose an adaptive multi-learning cooperation search algorithm(AMLCSA)for efficient identification of unknown parameters in PV models.AMLCSA is a novel algorithm inspired by teamwork behaviors in modern enterprises.It enhances the original cooperation search algorithm in two key aspects:(i)an adaptive multi-learning strategy that dynamically adjusts search ranges using adaptive weights,allowing better individuals to focus on local exploitation while guiding poorer individuals toward global exploration;and(ii)a chaotic grouping reflection strategy that introduces chaotic sequences to enhance population diversity and improve search performance.The effectiveness of AMLCSA is demonstrated on single-diode,double-diode,and three PV-module models.Simulation results show that AMLCSA offers significant advantages in convergence,accuracy,and stability compared to existing state-of-the-art algorithms.
