The aim of this optimization is to reduce engine emissions in terms of carbon monoxide （CO）, hydrocarbons （HC）, and nitrogen oxides （NOx）, which are the causes of diverse environmental problems such as air pollution and global warming. Stationary engine tests were performed for data generation, covering 60 operating conditions. Artificial neural networks （ANNs） were used to predict exhaust emissions, whose inputs were from six engine operating parameters, and the outputs were three resulting exhaust emissions. The outputs of ANNs were used to evaluate objective functions within the optimization algorithms： NSGA-II and MOPSO. Then a decision-making process was conducted, using a fuzzy method to select a Pareto solution with which the best emission reductions can be achieved. The NSGA-II algorithm achieved reductions of at least 9.84%, 82.44%, and 13.78% for CO, HC, and NOx, respectively. With a MOPSO algorithm the reached reductions were at least 13.68%, 83.80%, and 7.67% for CO, HC, and NOx, respectively.展开更多

However,air?release and cavitation can occur near the grooves. The valve plate utilizing damping holes show excellent perfor?mance in avoiding air?release and cavitation. This study aims to reduce the noise emitted from an axial piston pump using a novel valve plate utilizing damping holes. A dynamic pump model is developed,in which the fluid properties are carefully modeled to capture the phenomena of air release and cavitation. The causes of di erent noise sources are investigated using the model. A comprehensive parametric analysis is conducted to enhance the understanding of the e ects of the valve plate parameters on the noise sources. A multi?objective genetic algorithm optimization method is proposed to optimize the parameters of valve plate. The amplitudes of the swash plate moment and flow rates in the inlet and outlet ports are defined as the objective functions. The pressure overshoot and undershoot in the piston chamber are limited by properly constraining the highest and lowest pressure values. A comparison of the various noise sources between the original and optimized designs over a wide range of pressure levels shows that the noise sources are reduced at high pressures. The results of the sound pressure level measurements show that the optimized valve plate reduces the noise level by 1.6 d B(A) at the rated working condition. The proposed method is e ective in reducing the noise of axial piston pumps and contributes to the development of quieter axial piston machines.展开更多

However, there are several problems especially the low ductility and toughness, which have restricted the application of HSHSS in automobile body. Suitable process parameters are very crucial to improve strength and toughness. In order to study the effect of austenization temperature, soaking time and start deformation temperature on strength and toughness of boron steel 22MnB5, an L9 （34） orthogonal experiment which was analyzed by means of comprehensive evaluation was carried out based on Kahn tear method to obtain the value of fracture toughness. The results indicate that the ex- cellent formability, high strength and toughness of boron steel 22MnB5 with 1.6 mm in thickness are obtained when the austenization temperature is in the range of 920- 950 ℃, the soaking time is 1 min and the start deformation temperature is in the range of 650- 700 ℃. The optimal parameters were used for typical hot stamping structural parts tests. Properties of samples such as tear strength, unit initiation energy and ratio of strength to toughness （RST） were improved by 10.91%, 20.32% and 22.17%, respectively. Toughness was increased substantially on the basis of a small decrease of strength.展开更多

Finite element （ FE ） analysis on hydroforming car beam was carried out, and the results were optimized according to multiple quality objectives by the grey system theory. With bending angle, bending radius and hight difference along the axis direction as variables, orthogonal FE analyses were conducted and the minimum and maximum wall thicknes ses of the billets with different sizes were obtained. Taking the minimum and maximum wall thick nesses as two references, the correlation coefficient between the data for reference and those for comparison by the grey system theory reduced multi objectives to a single quality objective, and the average correlation level of every billet facilitated the optimization of size parameters for hydroform ing car beam. The trial production showed that the optimization approach satisfied the need of hy droforming car beams.展开更多

An improved fitness function for route planning is proposed based on the multi-objective genetic algorithm （MOGA） for multiple objectives traveling salesman problem （MOTSP）. Then, the path between two route nodes is generated based on the heuristic path planning method A ＊. A simplified timeliness function for route nodes is proposed to represent the timeliness of each node. Based on the proposed timeliness function, experiments are conducted using the proposed two-stage planning method. The experimental results show that the proposed MOGA with improved fitness function can perform the searching function well when the timeliness of the searching task needs to be taken into consideration.展开更多

To recover this amount, hybrid photovoltaic thermal systems （PV/T） have been devised. These are devices that simultaneously convert solar energy into electricity and heat. It is thus interesting to study the PV/T system as part of a closed loop single phase water CDU （coolant distribution unit） in laminar forced convection. In particular, the analysis was conducted on the optimal cooling performance of the thermal part, testing polynomial channel profiles of varying order （from zero to fourth） for channels of a real industrial module heat sink, under the following conditions： ideal flux of 1,000 W/m2 on one side, insulation on the opposite side, periodic conditions on the remaining sides, fully developed thermal and velocity profile in laminar flow of water. Through the use of a genetic algorithm, we have optimized the shape of the channel＇s sidewalls in terms of heat transfer maximization. In terms of Nusselt number, results show that fourth order profiles are the most efficient. When limits to allowable pressure loss and module weight are introduced, these bring generally to a lower efficiency of the system than the unconstrained case.展开更多

An attempt was made to minimize waste discharged from chemical reaction processes during the design and modification process while the operation conditions were also optimized to meet the requirements of technology and economics. Multiobjectives decision nonlinear programming (NLP) was employed to optimize the operation conditions of a chemical reaction process and reduce waste. A modeling language package-SPEEDUP was used to simulate the process. This paper presents a case study of the benzene production process. The flowsheet factors affecting the economics and waste generation were examined. Constraints were imposed to reduce the number of objectives and carry out optimal calculations easily. After comparisons of all possible solutions, best-compromise approach was applied to meet technological requirements and minimize waste.展开更多

文摘High-speed locomotives are prone to carbody or bogie hunting when the wheel-rail contact conicity is excessively low or high.This can cause negative impacts on vehicle dynamics performance.This study presents four types of typical yaw damper layouts for a high-speed locomotive(Bo-Bo)and compares,by using the multi-objective optimization method,the influences of those layouts on the lateral dynamics performance of the locomotive;the linear stability indexes under lowconicity and high-conicity conditions are selected as optimization objectives.Furthermore,the radial basis function-based highdimensional model representation(RBF-HDMR)method is used to conduct a global sensitivity analysis(GSA)between key suspension parameters and the lateral dynamics performance of the locomotive,including the lateral ride comfort on straight tracks under the low-conicity condition,and also the operational safety on curved tracks.It is concluded that the layout of yaw dampers has a considerable impact on low-conicity stability and lateral ride comfort but has little influence on curving performance.There is also an important finding that only when the locomotive adopts the layout with opening outward,the difference in lateral ride comfort between the front and rear ends of the carbody can be eliminated by adjusting the lateral installation angle of the yaw dampers.Finally,force analysis and modal analysis methods are adopted to explain the influence mechanism of yaw damper layouts on the lateral stability and differences in lateral ride comfort between the front and rear ends of the carbody.

文摘Perfect combination of structural size parameters of the hydroforming billets is essential to obtain even wall thicknesses of the car beam. Finite element （ FE ） analysis on hydroforming car beam was carried out, and the results were optimized according to multiple quality objectives by the grey system theory. With bending angle, bending radius and hight difference along the axis direction as variables, orthogonal FE analyses were conducted and the minimum and maximum wall thicknes ses of the billets with different sizes were obtained. Taking the minimum and maximum wall thick nesses as two references, the correlation coefficient between the data for reference and those for comparison by the grey system theory reduced multi objectives to a single quality objective, and the average correlation level of every billet facilitated the optimization of size parameters for hydroform ing car beam. The trial production showed that the optimization approach satisfied the need of hy droforming car beams.

文摘Currently,the improvement in AI is mainly related to deep learning techniques that are employed for the classification,identification,and quantification of patterns in clinical images.The deep learning models show more remarkable performance than the traditional methods for medical image processing tasks,such as skin cancer,colorectal cancer,brain tumour,cardiac disease,Breast cancer(BrC),and a few more.The manual diagnosis of medical issues always requires an expert and is also expensive.Therefore,developing some computer diagnosis techniques based on deep learning is essential.Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in females with a rapidly growing percentage.It is estimated that patients with BrC will rise to 70%in the next 20 years.If diagnosed at a later stage,the survival rate of patients with BrC is shallow.Hence,early detection is essential,increasing the survival rate to 50%.A new framework for BrC classification is presented that utilises deep learning and feature optimization.The significant steps of the presented framework include(i)hybrid contrast enhancement of acquired images,(ii)data augmentation to facilitate better learning of the Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)model,(iii)a pre‐trained ResNet‐101 model is utilised and modified according to selected dataset classes,(iv)deep transfer learning based model training for feature extraction,(v)the fusion of features using the proposed highly corrected function‐controlled canonical correlation analysis approach,and(vi)optimal feature selection using the modified Satin Bowerbird Optimization controlled Newton Raphson algorithm that finally classified using 10 machine learning classifiers.The experiments of the proposed framework have been carried out using the most critical and publicly available dataset,such as CBISDDSM,and obtained the best accuracy of 94.5%along with improved computation time.The comparison depicts that the presented method surpasses the current state‐ofthe‐art approaches.

文摘This paper studies the cluster consensus of multi-agent systems(MASs)with objective optimization on directed and detail balanced networks,in which the global optimization objective function is a linear combination of local objective functions of all agents.Firstly,a directed and detail balanced network is constructed that depends on the weights of the global objective function,and two kinds of novel continuous-time optimization algorithms are proposed based on time-invariant and timevarying objective functions.Secondly,by using fixed-time stability theory and convex optimization theory,some sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure that all agents'states reach cluster consensus within a fixed-time,and asymptotically converge to the optimal solution of the global objective function.Finally,two examples are presented to show the efficacy of the theoretical results.
文摘A class of interactive multi objective decision making method by means of evaluation criterion is proposed for problems with linear value function,in which case,the decision maker(DM) usually has only unwhole information of weights for objectives. The concept of fault measure of the evaluation criterion is proposed to measure the deviation of the evaluation criterion from the DMs preference structure.The approach to obtain an upper boundary of fault measure of an evaluation criterion,and the approach to modify the evaluation criterion to be one with smaller fault measure,and the approach to obtain a pre optimized objective set by evaluation criterion with certain fault measure are also proposed.

文摘To performance efficient searching for an operator-supervised mobile robot, a multiple objectives route planning approach is proposed considering timeliness and path cost. An improved fitness function for route planning is proposed based on the multi-objective genetic algorithm （MOGA） for multiple objectives traveling salesman problem （MOTSP）. Then, the path between two route nodes is generated based on the heuristic path planning method A ＊. A simplified timeliness function for route nodes is proposed to represent the timeliness of each node. Based on the proposed timeliness function, experiments are conducted using the proposed two-stage planning method. The experimental results show that the proposed MOGA with improved fitness function can perform the searching function well when the timeliness of the searching task needs to be taken into consideration.
文摘With the development of the economic and low⁃carbon society,high⁃performance building(HPB)design plays an increasingly important role in the architectural area.The performance of buildings usually includes the building energy consumption,building interior natural daylighting,building surface solar radiation,and so on.Building performance simulation(BPS)and multiple objective optimizations(MOO)are becoming the main methods for obtaining a high performance building in the design process.Correspondingly,the BPS and MOO are based on the parametric tools,like Grasshopper and Dynamo.However,these tools are lacking the data analysis module for designers to select the high⁃performance building more conveniently.This paper proposes a toolkit“GPPre”developed based on the Grasshopper platform and Python language.At the end of this paper,a case study was conducted to verify the function of GPPre,which shows that the combination of the sensitivity analysis(SA)and MOO module in the GPPre could aid architects to design the buildings with better performance.
文摘PV （photovoltaic） solar panels generally produce electricity in the 6% to 12% efficiency range, the rest is being dissipated in thermal losses. To recover this amount, hybrid photovoltaic thermal systems （PV/T） have been devised. These are devices that simultaneously convert solar energy into electricity and heat. It is thus interesting to study the PV/T system as part of a closed loop single phase water CDU （coolant distribution unit） in laminar forced convection. In particular, the analysis was conducted on the optimal cooling performance of the thermal part, testing polynomial channel profiles of varying order （from zero to fourth） for channels of a real industrial module heat sink, under the following conditions： ideal flux of 1,000 W/m2 on one side, insulation on the opposite side, periodic conditions on the remaining sides, fully developed thermal and velocity profile in laminar flow of water. Through the use of a genetic algorithm, we have optimized the shape of the channel＇s sidewalls in terms of heat transfer maximization. In terms of Nusselt number, results show that fourth order profiles are the most efficient. When limits to allowable pressure loss and module weight are introduced, these bring generally to a lower efficiency of the system than the unconstrained case.
文摘To solve the emerging complex optimization problems, multi objectiveoptimization algorithms are needed. By introducing the surrogate model forapproximate fitness calculation, the multi objective firefly algorithm with surrogatemodel (MOFA-SM) is proposed in this paper.

Secondly, the external archive wasconstructed based on the preference sorting, with the lightweight clustering pruningstrategy. In the process of evolution, the elite solutions selected from archivewere used to guide the movement to search optimal solutions. Simulation resultsshow that the proposed algorithm can achieve better performance in terms ofconvergence iteration and stability.

文摘Besides economics and controllability, waste minimization has now become an objective in designing chemical processes, and usually leads to high costs of investment and operation. An attempt was made to minimize waste discharged from chemical reaction processes during the design and modification process while the operation conditions were also optimized to meet the requirements of technology and economics. Multiobjectives decision nonlinear programming (NLP) was employed to optimize the operation conditions of a chemical reaction process and reduce waste. A modeling language package-SPEEDUP was used to simulate the process. This paper presents a case study of the benzene production process. The flowsheet factors affecting the economics and waste generation were examined. Constraints were imposed to reduce the number of objectives and carry out optimal calculations easily. After comparisons of all possible solutions, best-compromise approach was applied to meet technological requirements and minimize waste.
