Development of hybrid optimization algorithm for structures furnished with seismic damper devices using the particle swarm optimization method and gravitational search algorithm

Previous studies about optimizing earthquake structural energy dissipation systems indicated that most existing techniques employ merely one or a few parameters as design variables in the optimization process,and thereby are only applicable only to simple,single,or multiple degree-of-freedom structures.The current approaches to optimization procedures take a specific damper with its properties and observe the effect of applying time history data to the building;however,there are many different dampers and isolators that can be used.Furthermore,there is a lack of studies regarding the optimum location for various viscous and wall dampers.The main aim of this study is hybridization of the particle swarm optimization(PSO) and gravitational search algorithm(GSA) to optimize the performance of earthquake energy dissipation systems(i.e.,damper devices) simultaneously with optimizing the characteristics of the structure.Four types of structural dampers device are considered in this study:(ⅰ) variable stiffness bracing(VSB) system,(ⅱ) rubber wall damper(RWD),(ⅲ) nonlinear conical spring bracing(NCSB) device,(iv) and multi-action stiffener(MAS) device.Since many parameters may affect the design of seismic resistant structures,this study proposes a hybrid of PSO and GSA to develop a hybrid,multi-objective optimization method to resolve the aforementioned problems.The characteristics of the above-mentioned damper devices as well as the section size for structural beams and columns are considered as variables for development of the PSO-GSA optimization algorithm to minimize structural seismic response in terms of nodal displacement(in three directions) as well as plastic hinge formation in structural members simultaneously with the weight of the structure.After that,the optimization algorithm is implemented to identify the best position of the damper device in the structural frame to have the maximum effect and minimize the seismic structure response.To examine the performance of the proposed PSO-GSA optimization method,it has been applied to a three-story reinforced structure equipped with a seismic damper device.The results revealed that the method successfully optimized the earthquake energy dissipation systems and reduced the effects of earthquakes on structures,which significantly increase the building’s stability and safety during seismic excitation.The analysis results showed a reduction in the seismic response of the structure regarding the formation of plastic hinges in structural members as well as the displacement of each story to approximately 99.63%,60.5%,79.13% and 57.42% for the VSB device,RWD,NCSB device,and MAS device,respectively.This shows that using the PSO-GSA optimization algorithm and optimized damper devices in the structure resulted in no structural damage due to earthquake vibration.

Optimization of Thermal Aware VLSI Non-Slicing Floorplanning Using Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm-Harmony Search Algorithm

Floorplanning is a prominent area in the Very Large-Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuit design automation, because it influences the performance, size, yield and reliability of the VLSI chips. It is the process of estimating the positions and shapes of the modules. A high packing density, small feature size and high clock frequency make the Integrated Circuit (IC) to dissipate large amount of heat. So, in this paper, a methodology is presented to distribute the temperature of the module on the layout while simultaneously optimizing the total area and wirelength by using a hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization-Harmony Search (HPSOHS) algorithm. This hybrid algorithm employs diversification technique (PSO) to obtain global optima and intensification strategy (HS) to achieve the best solution at the local level and Modified Corner List algorithm (MCL) for floorplan representation. A thermal modelling tool called hotspot tool is integrated with the proposed algorithm to obtain the temperature at the block level. The proposed algorithm is illustrated using Microelectronics Centre of North Carolina (MCNC) benchmark circuits. The results obtained are compared with the solutions derived from other stochastic algorithms and the proposed algorithm provides better solution.

Robot stereo vision calibration method with genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization

Accurate stereo vision calibration is a preliminary step towards high-precision visual posi- tioning of robot. Combining with the characteristics of genetic algorithm （GA） and particle swarm optimization （PSO）, a three-stage calibration method based on hybrid intelligent optimization is pro- posed for nonlinear camera models in this paper. The motivation is to improve the accuracy of the calibration process. In this approach, the stereo vision calibration is considered as an optimization problem that can be solved by the GA and PSO. The initial linear values can be obtained in the frost stage. Then in the second stage, two cameras＇ parameters are optimized separately. Finally, the in- tegrated optimized calibration of two models is obtained in the third stage. Direct linear transforma- tion （DLT）, GA and PSO are individually used in three stages. It is shown that the results of every stage can correctly find near-optimal solution and it can be used to initialize the next stage. Simula- tion analysis and actual experimental results indicate that this calibration method works more accu- rate and robust in noisy environment compared with traditional calibration methods. The proposed method can fulfill the requirements of robot sophisticated visual operation.

Traveling Salesman Problem Using an Enhanced Hybrid Swarm Optimization Algorithm

The traveling salesman problem( TSP) is a well-known combinatorial optimization problem as well as an NP-complete problem. A dynamic multi-swarm particle swarm optimization and ant colony optimization( DMPSO-ACO) was presented for TSP.The DMPSO-ACO combined the exploration capabilities of the dynamic multi-swarm particle swarm optimizer( DMPSO) and the stochastic exploitation of the ant colony optimization( ACO) for solving the traveling salesman problem. In the proposed hybrid algorithm,firstly,the dynamic swarms,rapidity of the PSO was used to obtain a series of sub-optimal solutions through certain iterative times for adjusting the initial allocation of pheromone in ACO. Secondly,the positive feedback and high accuracy of the ACO were employed to solving whole problem. Finally,to verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed hybrid algorithm,various scale benchmark problems were tested to demonstrate the potential of the proposed DMPSO-ACO algorithm. The results show that DMPSO-ACO is better in the search precision,convergence property and has strong ability to escape from the local sub-optima when compared with several other peer algorithms.

Crack detection of the cantilever beam using new triple hybrid algorithms based on Particle Swarm Optimization

The presence of cracks in a concrete structure reduces its performance and increases in the size of cracks result in the failure of the structure.Therefore,the accurate determination of crack characteristics,such as location and depth,is one of the key engineering issues for assessment of the reliability of structures.This paper deals with the inverse analysis of the crack detection problems using triple hybrid algorithms based on Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO);these hybrids are Particle Swarm Optimization-Genetic Algorithm-Firefly Algorithm(PSO-GA-FA),Particle Swarm Optimization-Grey Wolf Optimization-Firefly Algorithm(PSO-GWO-FA),and Particle Swarm Optimization-Genetic Algorithm-Grey Wolf Optimization(PSO-GA-GWO).A strong correlation exists between the changes in the natural frequency of a concrete beam and the crack parameters.Thus,the location and depth of a crack in a beam can be predicted by measuring its natural frequency.Hence,the measured natural frequency can be used as the input parameter of the algorithm.In this paper,this is applied to identify crack location and depth in a cantilever beam using the new hybrid algorithms.The results show that among the proposed triple hybrid algorithms,the PSO-GA-FA and PSO-GWO-FA algorithms are much more effective than PSO-GA-GWO algorithm for the crack detection.
