文摘Frequency diverse array multiple-input multiple-output(FDA-MIMO)radar has gained considerable research attention due to its ability to effectively counter active repeater deception jamming in complex electromagnetic environments.The effectiveness of interference suppression by FDA-MIMO is limited by the inherent range-angle coupling issue in the FDA beampattern.Existing literature primarily focuses on control methods for FDA-MIMO radar beam direction under the assumption of static beampatterns,with insufficient exploration of techniques for managing nonstationary beam directions.To address this gap,this paper initially introduces the FDA-MIMO signal model and the calculation formula for the FDA-MIMO array output using the minimum variance distortionless response(MVDR)beamformer.Building on this,the problem of determining the optimal frequency offset for the FDA is rephrased as a convex optimization problem,which is then resolved using the cuckoo search(CS)algorithm.Simulations confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach,showing that the frequency offsets obtained through the CS algorithm can create a dot-shaped beam direction at the target location while effectively suppressing interference signals within the mainlobe.
文摘Droplet-based microfluidics is a transformative technology with applications across diverse scientific and industrial domains.However,predicting the droplet size generated by individual microchannels before experiments or simulations remains a significant challenge.In this study,we focus on a double T-junction microfluidic geometry and employ a hybrid modeling approach that combines machine learning with metaheuristic optimization to address this issue.Specifically,particle swarm optimization(PSO)is used to optimize the hyperparameters of a decision tree(DT)model,and its performance is compared with that of a DT optimized through grid search(GS).The hybrid models are developed to estimate the droplet diameter based on four parameters:the main width,side width,thickness,and flow rate ratio.The dataset of more than 300 cases,generated by a three-dimensional numerical model of the double T-junction,is used for training and testing.Multiple evaluation metrics confirm the predictive accuracy of the models.The results demonstrate that the proposed DT-PSO model achieves higher accuracy,with a coefficient of determination of 0.902 on the test data,while simultaneously reducing prediction time.This methodology holds the potential to minimize design iterations and accelerate the integration of microfluidic technology into the biological sciences.
文摘Correlation function of acceleration responses-based damage identificationmethods has been developed and employed,while they still face the difficulty in identifying local orminor structural damages.To deal with this issue,a robust structural damage identification method is developed,integrating a modified holistic swarm optimization(MHSO)algorithm with a hybrid objective function.The MHSO is developed by combining Hammersley sequencebased population initialization,chaotic search around the worst solution,and Hooke-Jeeves pattern search around the best solution,thereby improving both global exploration and local exploitation capabilities.A hybrid objective function is constructed by merging acceleration correlation function-based and strain correlation function-based objective functions,effectively leveraging the complementary sensitivities of global and local responses.To further suppress spurious solutions and promote sparsity in parameter estimation,an additional L0.5 regularization term is introduced.The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through numerical simulations on a simply supported beam and a steel girder benchmark structure.Comparative studies with sequential quadratic programming,genetic algorithm,andHSO demonstrate that theMHSOachieves superior accuracy and convergence efficiency,even with limited sensors and 20%noise-contaminated measurements.Results highlight that the hybrid objective function significantly enhances the detection of both major and minor damages,while the inclusion of sparse regularization improves robustness against noise and model uncertainties.The findings indicate that the proposed framework provides a reliable and computationally efficient solution for simultaneous localization and quantification of structural damages,offering promising applicability to real-world structural health monitoring scenarios.
文摘Selective Laser Melting(SLM),an advanced metal additive manufacturing technology,offers high precision and personalized customization advantages.However,selecting reasonable SLM parameters is challenging due to complex relationships.This study proposes a method for identifying the optimal process window by combining the simulation model with an optimization algorithm.JAYA is guided by the principle of preferential behavior towards best solutions and avoidance of worst ones,but it is prone to premature convergence thus leading to insufficient global search.To overcome limitations,this research proposes a Differential Evolution-framed JAYA algorithm(DEJAYA).DEJAYA incorporates four key enhancements to improve the flexibility of the original algorithm,which include DE framework design,horizontal crossover operator,longitudinal crossover operator,and global greedy strategy.The effectiveness of DEJAYA is rigorously evaluated by a suite of 23 distinct benchmark functions.Furthermore,the numerical simulation establishes AlSi10Mg single-track formation models,and DEJAYA successfully identified the optimal process window for this problem.Experimental results validate that DEJAYA effectively guides SLM parameter selection for AlSi10Mg.
文摘In response to the deficiencies of commonly used optimization methods for assembly lines,a production demand-oriented optimization method for assembly lines is proposed.Taking a certain compressor assembly line as an example,the production rhythm and the number of workstations are calculated based on production requirements and working systems.With assembly rhythm and smoothing index as optimization goals,an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is employed for process allocation.Subsequently,Flexsim simulation is used to analyze the assembly line.The final results show that after optimization using the improved particle swarm algorithm,the assembly line balance rate increased from 71.1%to 85.9%,and the assembly line smoothing index decreased from 47.4 to 29.8,significantly enhancing assembly efficiency.This demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed optimization method for the assembly line and provides a reference for other products in the same industry.
