A novel model based on EM（NMEM） for multiobjective optimization problems is proposed, which regards the charge of all particles as the constraints in the current population and the measure of the uniformity of non-dominated solutions as the objective function. The charge of the particle is evaluated based on the dominated concept, and its magnitude determines the direction of a force between two particles. Numerical studies are carried out on six complex test functions and the experimental results demonstrate that the proposed NMEM algorithm is a very robust method for solving the multiobjective optimization problems.展开更多

The feeders provide the power and cooling water for ELM coils. They are located in the chinmey ports and experience lower radiation and temperature levels. These coils and feeders work in a high magnetic field environment and are subjected to alternating electromagnetic force due to the interaction between high magnetic field and alternating current （AC） current in the coils. They are also subjected to thermal stresses due to thermal expansion. Using the ITER upper ELM coil and feeder as an example, mechanical analyses are performed to verify and optimize the updated design to enhance their structural performance. The results show that the conductor, jacket and bracket can meet the static, fatigue and crack threshold criteria. The optimization indicates that adding chamfers to the bracket can reduce the high stress of the bracket, and removing two rails can reduce the peak reaction force on the two rails arising from thermal expansion.展开更多
