Its nonconvexity nature leads to existence of more than one optimum and computational difficulty for traditional algorithms to find the global optimum. Compared with deterministic algorithms, evolutionary computation provides a promising approach to tackle this problem. In this paper, a mathematical model of multi-stream heat exchangers network synthesis problem is setup. Different from the assumption of isothermal mixing of stream splits and thus linearity constraints of Yee et al., non-isothermal mixing is supported. As a consequence, nonlinear constraints are resulted and nonconvexity of the objective function is added. To solve the mathematical model, an algorithm named GA/SA (parallel genetic/simulated annealing algorithm) is detailed for application to the multi-stream heat exchanger network synthesis problem. The performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated with three examples and the obtained solutions indicate the presented approach is effective for multi-stream HENS.展开更多

A newly developed Ar-CO2 potential energy surface together with the Aziz Ar-Ar interaction potential was employed to construct the high dimensional potential functions by pairwise additive approximation. The global minimal conformations were optimized by sampling the glassy phase space with a circumspectively formulated annealing schedule.

The dramatically variations with number of solvent were found for small clusters. After the completion of the first solvation shell at N=17, the clusters were evolved more smoothly.展开更多

We employ the simulated annealing algorithm to systematically explore the stable structure and segregation behavior of tetrahexahedral Pt–Pd–Cu–Au quaternary alloy nanoparticles. Three alloy nanoparticles consisting of 443 atoms, 1417 atoms, and 3285 atoms are considered and compared. The preferred positions of atoms in the nanoparticles are analyzed. The simulation results reveal that Cu and Au atoms tend to occupy the surface, Pt atoms preferentially occupy the middle layers, and Pd atoms tend to segregate to the inner layers. Furthermore, Au atoms present stronger surface segregation than Cu ones. This study provides a fundamental understanding on the structural features and segregation phenomena of multi-metallic nanoparticles.展开更多

In order to ...An efficient importance sampling algorithm is presented to analyze reliability of complex structural system with multiple failure modes and fuzzy-random uncertainties in basic variables and failure modes. In order to improve the sampling efficiency, the simulated annealing algorithm is adopted to optimize the density center of the importance sampling for each failure mode, and results that the more significant contribution the points make to fuzzy failure probability, the higher occurrence possibility the points are sampled. For the system with multiple fuzzy failure modes, a weighted and mixed importance sampling function is constructed. The contribution of each fuzzy failure mode to the system failure probability is represented by the appropriate factors, and the efficiency of sampling is improved furthermore. The variances and the coefficients of variation are derived for the failure probability estimations. Two examples are introduced to illustrate the rationality of the present method. Comparing with the direct Monte-Carlo method, the improved efficiency and the precision of the method are verified by the examples.展开更多

Firstly,CFPs and CLPs were described formally. To deal with the uncertainty fuzzy parameters brought,a chance constraint was introduced. A mathematical model was established with an objective function of minimizing intra-cell and inter-cell material handling cost. As the chance constraint of this problem could not be converted into its crisp equivalent,a hybrid simulated annealing(HSA) based on fuzzy simulation was put forward. Finally,simulation experiments were conducted under different confidence levels. Results indicated that the proposed hybrid algorithm was feasible and effective.展开更多

文摘An efficient importance sampling algorithm is presented to analyze reliability of complex structural system with multiple failure modes and fuzzy-random uncertainties in basic variables and failure modes. In order to improve the sampling efficiency, the simulated annealing algorithm is adopted to optimize the density center of the importance sampling for each failure mode, and results that the more significant contribution the points make to fuzzy failure probability, the higher occurrence possibility the points are sampled. For the system with multiple fuzzy failure modes, a weighted and mixed importance sampling function is constructed. The contribution of each fuzzy failure mode to the system failure probability is represented by the appropriate factors, and the efficiency of sampling is improved furthermore. The variances and the coefficients of variation are derived for the failure probability estimations. Two examples are introduced to illustrate the rationality of the present method. Comparing with the direct Monte-Carlo method, the improved efficiency and the precision of the method are verified by the examples.

文摘To adapt to the complex and changeable market environment,the cell formation problems(CFPs) and the cell layout problems(CLPs) with fuzzy demands were optimized simultaneously. Firstly,CFPs and CLPs were described formally. To deal with the uncertainty fuzzy parameters brought,a chance constraint was introduced. A mathematical model was established with an objective function of minimizing intra-cell and inter-cell material handling cost. As the chance constraint of this problem could not be converted into its crisp equivalent,a hybrid simulated annealing(HSA) based on fuzzy simulation was put forward. Finally,simulation experiments were conducted under different confidence levels. Results indicated that the proposed hybrid algorithm was feasible and effective.

文摘Employing Simulated Annealing Algorithm (SAA) and many measured data, acalculation model of work roll wear was built in the 2 800 mm 4-high mill of Wuhan Iron and Steel(Group) Co. (WISCO). The model was a semi-theory practical formula. Its pattern and magnitude werestill hardly defined with classical optimization methods. But the problem could be resolved by SAA.It was pretty high precision to predict the values for the wear profiles of work roll in a rollingunit. After one-year application, the results show that the model is feasible in engineering, and itcan be applied to predict the wear profiles of work roll in other mills.
文摘The genetic algorithm and marching method are integrated into a novel algorithm to solve the surface intersection problem. By combining genetic algorithm with local searching method the efficiency of evolution is greatly improved. By fully utilizing the global searching ability and instinct attribute for parallel computation of genetic algorithm and the local rapid convergency of marching method, the algorithm can compute the intersection robustly and generate correct topology of intersection curves. The details of the new algorithm are discussed here.
