Moreover, one also expects that the optimal topology can be obtained by starting from any initial topology configuration. An improved structural topological optimization method for multidisplacement constraints is proposed in this paper. In the proposed method, the whole optimization process is divided into two optimization adjustment phases and a phase transferring step. Firstly, an optimization model is built to deal with the varied displacement limits, design space adjustments, and reasonable relations between the element stiffness matrix and mass and its element topology variable. Secondly, a procedure is proposed to solve the optimization problem formulated in the first optimization adjustment phase, by starting with a small design space and advancing to a larger deign space. The design space adjustments are automatic when the design domain needs expansions, in which the convergence of the proposed method will not be affected. The final topology obtained by the proposed procedure in the first optimization phase, can approach to the vicinity of the optimum topology. Then, a heuristic algorithm is given to improve the efficiency and make the designed structural topology black/white in both the phase transferring step and the second optimization adjustment phase. And the optimum topology can finally be obtained by the second phase optimization adjustments. Two examples are presented to show that the topologies obtained by the proposed method are of very good 0/1 design distribution property, and the computational efficiency is enhanced by reducing the element number of the design structural finite model during two optimization adjustment phases. And the examples also show that this method is robust and practicable.展开更多

In ...Due to the NP-hardness of the two-sided assembly line balancing (TALB) problem, multiple constraints existing in real applications are less studied, especially when one task is involved with several constraints. In this paper, an effective hybrid algorithm is proposed to address the TALB problem with multiple constraints (TALB-MC). Considering the discrete attribute of TALB-MC and the continuous attribute of the standard teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm, the random-keys method is hired in task permutation representation, for the purpose of bridging the gap between them. Subsequently, a special mechanism for handling multiple constraints is developed. In the mechanism, the directions constraint of each task is ensured by the direction check and adjustment. The zoning constraints and the synchronism constraints are satisfied by teasing out the hidden correlations among constraints. The positional constraint is allowed to be violated to some extent in decoding and punished in cost fimction. Finally, with the TLBO seeking for the global optimum, the variable neighborhood search (VNS) is further hybridized to extend the local search space. The experimental results show that the proposed hybrid algorithm outperforms the late acceptance hill-climbing algorithm (LAHC) for TALB-MC in most cases, especially for large-size problems with multiple constraints, and demonstrates well balance between the exploration and the exploitation. This research proposes an effective and efficient algorithm for solving TALB-MC problem by hybridizing the TLBO and VNS.展开更多

By using the quasi-static method, the mathematical model of structure optimization under dynamic stress, dynamic displacement and dynamic stability constraints were transformed into one subjected to static stress, displacement and stability constraints.

A comparison between the optimum results of model with stability constraints and the optimum results of model without stability constraint was given. And that shows the stability constraints have a great effect on the optimum solutions.展开更多

文摘In density-based topological design, one expects that the final result consists of elements either black (solid material) or white (void), without any grey areas. Moreover, one also expects that the optimal topology can be obtained by starting from any initial topology configuration. An improved structural topological optimization method for multidisplacement constraints is proposed in this paper. In the proposed method, the whole optimization process is divided into two optimization adjustment phases and a phase transferring step. Firstly, an optimization model is built to deal with the varied displacement limits, design space adjustments, and reasonable relations between the element stiffness matrix and mass and its element topology variable. Secondly, a procedure is proposed to solve the optimization problem formulated in the first optimization adjustment phase, by starting with a small design space and advancing to a larger deign space. The design space adjustments are automatic when the design domain needs expansions, in which the convergence of the proposed method will not be affected. The final topology obtained by the proposed procedure in the first optimization phase, can approach to the vicinity of the optimum topology. Then, a heuristic algorithm is given to improve the efficiency and make the designed structural topology black/white in both the phase transferring step and the second optimization adjustment phase. And the optimum topology can finally be obtained by the second phase optimization adjustments. Two examples are presented to show that the topologies obtained by the proposed method are of very good 0/1 design distribution property, and the computational efficiency is enhanced by reducing the element number of the design structural finite model during two optimization adjustment phases. And the examples also show that this method is robust and practicable.

By using the quasi-static method, the mathematical model of structure optimization under dynamic stress, dynamic displacement and dynamic stability constraints were transformed into one subjected to static stress, displacement and stability constraints. The optimization procedures include two levels, i.e., the topology optimization and the shape optimization. In each level, the comprehensive algorithm was used and the relative difference quotients of two kinds of variables were used to search the optimum solution. A comparison between the optimum results of model with stability constraints and the optimum results of model without stability constraint was given. And that shows the stability constraints have a great effect on the optimum solutions.

文摘Because of descriptive nonlinearity and computational inefficiency,topology optimization with fatigue life under aperiodic loads has developed slowly.A fatigue constraint topology optimization method based on bidirectional evolutionary structural optimization(BESO)under an aperiodic load is proposed in this paper.In viewof the severe nonlinearity of fatigue damagewith respect to design variables,effective stress cycles are extracted through transient dynamic analysis.Based on the Miner cumulative damage theory and life requirements,a fatigue constraint is first quantified and then transformed into a stress problem.Then,a normalized termination criterion is proposed by approximatemaximum stress measured by global stress using a P-normaggregation function.Finally,optimization examples show that the proposed algorithm can not only meet the requirements of fatigue life but also obtain a reasonable configuration.

文摘Traditional topology optimization methods may lead to a great reduction in the redundancy of the optimized structure due to unexpected material removal at the critical components.The local failure in critical components can instantly cause the overall failure in the structure.More and more scholars have taken the fail-safe design into consideration when conducting topology optimization.A lot of good designs have been obtained in their research,though limited regarding minimizing structural compliance(maximizing stiffness)with given amount of material.In terms of practical engineering applications considering fail-safe design,it is more meaningful to seek for the lightweight structure with enough stiffness to resist various component failures and/or to meet multiple design requirements,than the stiffest structure only.Thus,this paper presents a fail-safe topology optimization model for minimizing structural weight with respect to stress and displacement constraints.The optimization problem is solved by utilizing the independent continuous mapping(ICM)method combined with the dual sequence quadratic programming(DSQP)algorithm.Special treatments are applied to the constraints,including converting local stress constraints into a global structural strain energy constraint and expressing the displacement constraint explicitly with approximations.All of the constraints are nondimensionalized to avoid numerical instability caused by great differences in constraint magnitudes.The optimized results exhibit more complex topological configurations and higher redundancy to resist local failures than the traditional optimization designs.This paper also shows how to find the worst failure region,which can be a good reference for designers in engineering.

文摘Deep learning for topology optimization has been extensively studied to reduce the cost of calculation in recent years.However,the loss function of the above method is mainly based on pixel-wise errors from the image perspective,which cannot embed the physical knowledge of topology optimization.Therefore,this paper presents an improved deep learning model to alleviate the above difficulty effectively.The feature pyramid network(FPN),a kind of deep learning model,is trained to learn the inherent physical law of topology optimization itself,of which the loss function is composed of pixel-wise errors and physical constraints.Since the calculation of physical constraints requires finite element analysis(FEA)with high calculating costs,the strategy of adjusting the time when physical constraints are added is proposed to achieve the balance between the training cost and the training effect.Then,two classical topology optimization problems are investigated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.The results show that the developed model using a small number of samples can quickly obtain the optimization structure without any iteration,which has not only high pixel-wise accuracy but also good physical performance.

文摘The stabilization problem of linear time-varying systems with both state and input constraints is considered. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the solution to this problem are derived and a gain-switched(gain-scheduled) state feedback control scheme is built to stabilize the constrained timevarying system. The design problem is transformed to a series of convex feasibility problems which can be solved efficiently. A design example is given to illustrate the effect of the proposed algorithm.

An equivalent η-approximated multiobjective optimization problem is constructed by a modification of the objective function in the original considered optimization problem. Furthermore, we discuss saddle point criteria for the aforesaid problem. Moreover, we present some examples to verify the established results.

文摘Aiming at the problem that high-resolution optical remote sensing image,lines are prone to fracture,and a line segment optimization algorithm is proposed in this paper.Firstly,the line segment is regarded as a way to express the contour of the ground object,and the laws of line segment fracture from two aspects of geometric features and texture features are analyzed;Secondly,the line segment optimization algorithm is proposed.It takes the results of detecting line segments as the processing primitives,determines the initial optimized line segment according to the length of the line segment,establishes the tracking rectangular region and geometric constraint model for the fractured line segments,builds a dynamic optimization model,and gives a complete line optimization process.Through the analysis of experimental results of multiple actual scenes and different types of remote sensing images,it is shown that this algorithm can not only solve the problem of line segment fracture caused by terrain occlusion,edge blurring,and edge serration,but also comparing with other methods,the proposed algorithm has great advantages in optimizing line length and restraining over extraction problem.
文摘A nonlinear optimization problem (P) with inequality constraints can be converted into a new optimization problem (PE) with equality constraints only. This is a Valentine method for finite dimensional optimization. We review second order optimality conditions for (PE) in connection with those of (P). A strictly complementary slackness condition can be made to get the property that sufficient optimality conditions for (P) imply the same property for (PE). We give some new results (see Theorems 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3) .Without any assumption, a counterexample is given to show that these conditions are not equivalent.

文摘This paper addresses the distributed optimization problem of discrete-time multiagent systems with nonconvex control input constraints and switching topologies.We introduce a novel distributed optimization algorithm with a switching mechanism to guarantee that all agents eventually converge to an optimal solution point,while their control inputs are constrained in their own nonconvex region.It is worth noting that the mechanism is performed to tackle the coexistence of the nonconvex constraint operator and the optimization gradient term.Based on the dynamic transformation technique,the original nonlinear dynamic system is transformed into an equivalent one with a nonlinear error term.By utilizing the nonnegative matrix theory,it is shown that the optimization problem can be solved when the union of switching communication graphs is jointly strongly connected.Finally,a numerical simulation example is used to demonstrate the acquired theoretical results.
