Specifically, the logarithmic utility function is utilized to address the potential fairness issue that may arise from the maximum sum-rate based objective function and the optical power constraints are set considering the non-negativity of the transmit signal, the requirement of the human eyes safety and all users' quality of service(Qo S). Then, the SSA is utilized to solve this optimization problem. Moreover, to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed strategy, it is compared with the fixed power allocation(FPA) and the gain ratio power allocation(GRPA) schemes. Results show that regardless of the number of users considered, the sum-rate achieved by SSA consistently outperforms that of FPA and GRPA schemes. Specifically, compared to FPA and GRPA schemes, the sum-rate obtained by SSA is increased by 40.45% and 53.44% when the number of users is 7, respectively. The proposed SSA also has better performance in terms of user fairness. This work will benefit the design and development of the NOMA-visible light communication(VLC) systems.展开更多

文摘The welding of medium and thick plates has a wide range of applications in the engineering field.Industrial welding robots are gradually replacing traditional welding operations due to their significant advantages,such as high welding quality,high work efficiency,and effective reduction of labor intensity.Ensuring the accuracy of the welding trajectory for the welding robot is crucial for guaranteeing welding quality.In this paper,the author uses the chaos sparrow search algorithm to optimize the trajectory of a multi-layer and multi-pass welding robot for medium and thick plates.Firstly,the Sparrow Search Algorithm(SSA)is improved by introducing tent chaotic mapping and Gaussian mutation of the inertia weight factor.Secondly,in order to prevent the welding robot arm from colliding with obstacles in the welding environment during the welding process,maintain the stability of the welding robot,and ensure the continuous stability of the changes in each joint angle,joint angular velocity,and angular velocity of the joint angle,a welding robot model is established by improving the Denavit-Hartenberg parameter method.A multi-objective optimization fitness function is used to optimize the trajectory of the welding robot,minimizing time and energy consumption.Thirdly,the optimization and convergence performance of SSA and Chaos Sparrow Search Algorithm(CSSA)are compared through 10 benchmark test functions.Based on the six sets of test functions,the CSSA algorithm consistently maintains superior optimization performance and has excellent stability,with a faster decline in the convergence curve compared to the SSA algorithm.Finally,the accuracy of welding is tested through V-shaped multi-layer and multi-pass welding experiments.The experimental results show that the CSSA algorithm has a strong superiority in trajectory optimization of multi-layer and multi-pass welding for medium and thick plates,with an accuracy rate of 99.5%.It is an effective optimization method that can meet the actual needs of production.

文摘The sparrow search algorithm(SSA)is a newly proposed meta-heuristic optimization algorithm based on the sparrowforaging principle.Similar to other meta-heuristic algorithms,SSA has problems such as slowconvergence speed and difficulty in jumping out of the local optimum.In order to overcome these shortcomings,a chaotic sparrow search algorithm based on logarithmic spiral strategy and adaptive step strategy(CLSSA)is proposed in this paper.Firstly,in order to balance the exploration and exploitation ability of the algorithm,chaotic mapping is introduced to adjust the main parameters of SSA.Secondly,in order to improve the diversity of the population and enhance the search of the surrounding space,the logarithmic spiral strategy is introduced to improve the sparrow search mechanism.Finally,the adaptive step strategy is introduced to better control the process of algorithm exploitation and exploration.The best chaotic map is determined by different test functions,and the CLSSA with the best chaotic map is applied to solve 23 benchmark functions and 3 classical engineering problems.The simulation results show that the iterative map is the best chaotic map,and CLSSA is efficient and useful for engineering problems,which is better than all comparison algorithms.

文摘The safety factor is a crucial quantitative index for evaluating slope stability.However,the traditional calculation methods suffer from unreasonable assumptions,complex soil composition,and inadequate consideration of the influencing factors,leading to large errors in their calculations.Therefore,a stacking ensemble learning model(stacking-SSAOP)based on multi-layer regression algorithm fusion and optimized by the sparrow search algorithm is proposed for predicting the slope safety factor.In this method,the density,cohesion,friction angle,slope angle,slope height,and pore pressure ratio are selected as characteristic parameters from the 210 sets of established slope sample data.Random Forest,Extra Trees,AdaBoost,Bagging,and Support Vector regression are used as the base model(inner loop)to construct the first-level regression algorithm layer,and XGBoost is used as the meta-model(outer loop)to construct the second-level regression algorithm layer and complete the construction of the stacked learning model for improving the model prediction accuracy.The sparrow search algorithm is used to optimize the hyperparameters of the above six regression models and correct the over-and underfitting problems of the single regression model to further improve the prediction accuracy.The mean square error(MSE)of the predicted and true values and the fitting of the data are compared and analyzed.The MSE of the stacking-SSAOP model was found to be smaller than that of the single regression model(MSE=0.03917).Therefore,the former has a higher prediction accuracy and better data fitting.This study innovatively applies the sparrow search algorithm to predict the slope safety factor,showcasing its advantages over traditional methods.Additionally,our proposed stacking-SSAOP model integrates multiple regression algorithms to enhance prediction accuracy.This model not only refines the prediction accuracy of the slope safety factor but also offers a fresh approach to handling the intricate soil composition and other influencing factors,making it a precise and reliable method for slope stability evaluation.This research holds importance for the modernization and digitalization of slope safety assessments.

文摘The accuracy of a fracture reduction robot(FRR)is critical for ensuring the safety of surgery.Improving the repositioning accuracy of a FRR,reducing the error,and realizing a safer and more stable folding motion is critical.To achieve this,a sparrow search algorithm(SSA)based on the Levy flight operator was proposed in this study for self-tuning the robot controller parameters.An inverse kinematic analysis of the FRR was also performed.The robot dynamics model was established using Simulink,and the inverse dynamics controller for the fracture reduction mechanism was designed using the computed torque control method.Both simulation and physical experiments were also performed.The actual motion trajectory of the actuator drive rod and its error with a desired trajectory was obtained through simulation.An optimized Levy-sparrow search algorithm(Levy-SSA)crack reduction robot controller demonstrated an overall reduction of two orders of magnitude in the reduction error,with an average error reduction of 98.74%compared with the traditional unoptimized controller.The Levy-SSA increased the convergence of the crack reduction robot control system to the optimal solution,improved the accuracy of the motion trajectory,and exhibited important implications for robot controller optimization.

文摘The buckling load of carbon fiber composite cylindrical shells(CF-CCSs)was predicted using a backpropagation neural network improved by the sparrow search algorithm(SSA-BPNN).Firstly,two CF-CCSs,each with an inner diameter of 100 mm,were manufactured and tested.The buckling behavior of CF-CCSs was analyzed by finite element and experiment.Subsequently,the effects of ply angle and length–diameter ratio on buckling load of CF-CCSs were analyzed,and the dataset of the neural network was generated using the finite element method.On this basis,the SSA-BPNN model for predicting buckling load of CF-CCS was established.The results show that the maximum and average errors of the SSA-BPNN to the test data are 6.88%and 2.24%,respectively.The buckling load prediction for CF-CCSs based on SSA-BPNN has satisfactory generalizability and can be used to analyze buckling loads on cylindrical shells of carbon fiber composites.
