Inversion of Seabed Geotechnical Properties in the Arctic Chukchi Deep Sea Basin Based on Time Domain Adaptive Search Matching Algorithm

The chirp sub-bottom profiler,for its high resolution,easy accessibility and cost-effectiveness,has been widely used in acoustic detection.In this paper,the acoustic impedance and grain size compositions were obtained based on the chirp sub-bottom profiler data collected in the Chukchi Plateau area during the 11th Arctic Expedition of China.The time-domain adaptive search matching algorithm was used and validated on our established theoretical model.The misfit between the inversion result and the theoretical model is less than 0.067%.The grain size was calculated according to the empirical relationship between the acoustic impedance and the grain size of the sediment.The average acoustic impedance of sub-seafloor strata is 2.5026×10^(6) kg(s m^(2))^(-1)and the average grain size(θvalue)of the seafloor surface sediment is 7.1498,indicating the predominant occurrence of very fine silt sediment in the study area.Comparison of the inversion results and the laboratory measurements of nearby borehole samples shows that they are in general agreement.

Well production optimization using streamline features-based objective function and Bayesian adaptive direct search algorithm

Well production optimization is a complex and time-consuming task in the oilfield development.The combination of reservoir numerical simulator with optimization algorithms is usually used to optimize well production.This method spends most of computing time in objective function evaluation by reservoir numerical simulator which limits its optimization efficiency.To improve optimization efficiency,a well production optimization method using streamline features-based objective function and Bayesian adaptive direct search optimization(BADS)algorithm is established.This new objective function,which represents the water flooding potential,is extracted from streamline features.It only needs to call the streamline simulator to run one time step,instead of calling the simulator to calculate the target value at the end of development,which greatly reduces the running time of the simulator.Then the well production optimization model is established and solved by the BADS algorithm.The feasibility of the new objective function and the efficiency of this optimization method are verified by three examples.Results demonstrate that the new objective function is positively correlated with the cumulative oil production.And the BADS algorithm is superior to other common algorithms in convergence speed,solution stability and optimization accuracy.Besides,this method can significantly accelerate the speed of well production optimization process compared with the objective function calculated by other conventional methods.It can provide a more effective basis for determining the optimal well production for actual oilfield development.

Adaptive backtracking search optimization algorithm with pattern search for numerical optimization

The backtracking search optimization algorithm（BSA） is one of the most recently proposed population-based evolutionary algorithms for global optimization. Due to its memory ability and simple structure, BSA has powerful capability to find global optimal solutions. However, the algorithm is still insufficient in balancing the exploration and the exploitation. Therefore, an improved adaptive backtracking search optimization algorithm combined with modified Hooke-Jeeves pattern search is proposed for numerical global optimization. It has two main parts： the BSA is used for the exploration phase and the modified pattern search method completes the exploitation phase. In particular, a simple but effective strategy of adapting one of BSA＇s important control parameters is introduced. The proposed algorithm is compared with standard BSA, three state-of-the-art evolutionary algorithms and three superior algorithms in IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation 2014（IEEE CEC2014） over six widely-used benchmarks and 22 real-parameter single objective numerical optimization benchmarks in IEEE CEC2014. The results of experiment and statistical analysis demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Adaptive mutation sparrow search algorithm-Elman-AdaBoost model for predicting the deformation of subway tunnels

A novel coupled model integrating Elman-AdaBoost with adaptive mutation sparrow search algorithm(AM-SSA),called AMSSAElman-AdaBoost,is proposed for predicting the existing metro tunnel deformation induced by adjacent deep excavations in soft ground.The novelty is that the modified SSA proposes adaptive adjustment strategy to create a balance between the capacity of exploitation and exploration.In AM-SSA,firstly,the population is initialized by cat mapping chaotic sequences to improve the ergodicity and randomness of the individual sparrow,enhancing the global search ability.Then the individuals are adjusted by Tent chaotic disturbance and Cauchy mutation to avoid the population being too concentrated or scattered,expanding the local search ability.Finally,the adaptive producer-scrounger number adjustment formula is introduced to balance the ability to seek the global and local optimal.In addition,it leads to the improved algorithm achieving a better accuracy level and convergence speed compared with the original SSA.To demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of AM-SSA,23 classical benchmark functions and 25 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation benchmark test functions(CEC2005),are employed as the numerical examples and investigated in comparison with some wellknown optimization algorithms.The statistical results indicate the promising performance of AM-SSA in a variety of optimization with constrained and unknown search spaces.By utilizing the AdaBoost algorithm,multiple sets of weak AMSSA-Elman predictor functions are restructured into one strong predictor by successive iterations for the tunnel deformation prediction output.Additionally,the on-site monitoring data acquired from a deep excavation project in Ningbo,China,were selected as the training and testing sample.Meanwhile,the predictive outcomes are compared with those of other different optimization and machine learning techniques.In the end,the obtained results in this real-world geotechnical engineering field reveal the feasibility of the proposed hybrid algorithm model,illustrating its power and superiority in terms of computational efficiency,accuracy,stability,and robustness.More critically,by observing data in real time on daily basis,the structural safety associated with metro tunnels could be supervised,which enables decision-makers to take concrete control and protection measures.

Parameter Optimization of Tuned Mass Damper Inerter via Adaptive Harmony Search

Dynamic impacts such as wind and earthquakes cause loss of life and economic damage.To ensure safety against these effects,various measures have been taken from past to present and solutions have been developed using different technologies.Tall buildings are more susceptible to vibrations such as wind and earthquakes.Therefore,vibration control has become an important issue in civil engineering.This study optimizes tuned mass damper inerter(TMDI)using far-fault ground motion records.This study derives the optimum parameters of TMDI using the Adaptive Harmony Search algorithm.Structure displacement and total acceleration against earthquake load are analyzed to assess the performance of the TMDI system.The effect of the inerter when connected to different floors is observed,and the results are compared to the conventional tuned mass damper(TMD).It is indicated that the case of connecting the inerter force to the 5th floor gives better results.As a result,TMD and TMDI systems reduce the displacement by 21.87%and 25.45%,respectively,and the total acceleration by 25.45%and 19.59%,respectively.These percentage reductions indicated that the structure resilience against dynamic loads can be increased using control systems.

Novel Optimized Feature Selection Using Metaheuristics Applied to Physical Benchmark Datasets

In data mining and machine learning,feature selection is a critical part of the process of selecting the optimal subset of features based on the target data.There are 2n potential feature subsets for every n features in a dataset,making it difficult to pick the best set of features using standard approaches.Consequently,in this research,a new metaheuristics-based feature selection technique based on an adaptive squirrel search optimization algorithm(ASSOA)has been proposed.When using metaheuristics to pick features,it is common for the selection of features to vary across runs,which can lead to instability.Because of this,we used the adaptive squirrel search to balance exploration and exploitation duties more evenly in the optimization process.For the selection of the best subset of features,we recommend using the binary ASSOA search strategy we developed before.According to the suggested approach,the number of features picked is reduced while maximizing classification accuracy.A ten-feature dataset from the University of California,Irvine(UCI)repository was used to test the proposed method’s performance vs.eleven other state-of-the-art approaches,including binary grey wolf optimization(bGWO),binary hybrid grey wolf and particle swarm optimization(bGWO-PSO),bPSO,binary stochastic fractal search(bSFS),binary whale optimization algorithm(bWOA),binary modified grey wolf optimization(bMGWO),binary multiverse optimization(bMVO),binary bowerbird optimization(bSBO),binary hybrid GWO and genetic algorithm 4028 CMC,2023,vol.74,no.2(bGWO-GA),binary firefly algorithm(bFA),and bGAmethods.Experimental results confirm the superiority and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for solving the problem of feature selection.

Complete Coverage Path Planning Based on Improved Area Division

It is difficult to solve complete coverage path planning directly in the obstructed area. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method of complete coverage path planning with improved area division. Firstly, the boustrophedon cell decomposition method is used to partition the map into sub-regions. The complete coverage paths within each sub-region are obtained by the Boustrophedon back-and-forth motions, and the order of traversal of the sub-regions is then described as a generalised traveling salesman problem with pickup and delivery based on the relative positions of the vertices of each sub-region. An adaptive large neighbourhood algorithm is proposed to quickly obtain solution results in traversal order. The effectiveness of the improved algorithm on traversal cost reduction is verified in this paper through multiple sets of experiments. .

Free-floating bike-sharing green relocation problem considering greenhouse gas emissions

This paper introduces the problem of green bike relocation considering greenhouse gas emissions in free-floating bike-sharing systems(FFBSSs)and establishes a mathematical model of the problem.This model minimizes the total imbalance degree of bikes in the FFBSS and the greenhouse gas emissions generated by relocation in the FFBSS.Before the relocation phase,the FFBSS is divided into multiple relocation areas using a two-layer clustering method to reduce the scale of the relocation problem.In the relocation phase,the relocation route problem is converted into a pickup and delivery vehicle-routing problem.Then,an adaptive variable neighbourhood tabu search algorithm with a three-dimensional tabu list is proposed,which can simultaneously solve the relocation problem and the routing problem.A computational study based on the actual FFBSS used in Shanghai shows that this method can effectively solve the green relocation problem of FFBSSs.
