In IBMSMA, the chaotic grouping mechanism and dynamic regrouping strategy are employed to improve population diversity;the shift density estimation is used to assess the superiority of search agents and to provide selection pressure for population evolution;and the Pareto external archive is utilized to maintain the convergence and distribution of the non-dominated solution set. To evaluate the performance of IBMSMA, it is applied to eight multi-objective truss optimization problems. The results obtained by IBMSMA are compared with other 14 well-known optimization algorithms on hypervolume, inverted generational distance and spacing-to-extent indicators. The Wilcoxon statistical test and Friedman ranking are used for statistical analysis. The results of this study reveal that IBMSMA can find the Pareto front with better convergence and diversity in less time than state-of-the-art algorithms, demonstrating its capability in tackling large-scale engineering design problems.展开更多

To obtain the optimal design of molds automatically, a multi-objective optimal approach is proposed. Mold pieces number, material utilization and partitioning area are taken as the objective functions, and the machinability of each mold piece is taken as constraint condition. Genetic algorithm (GA) is adopted to realize global optimization of partitioning process. Each mold piece in optimal scheme can be manufactured by milling and drilling operations, which reduce the tooling cost and shorten product cycle obviously. Using the proposed approach, mold design can be significantly automated for making complex parts.展开更多
