A Fast Globally Convergent Particle Swarm Optimization for Defect Profile Inversion Using MFL Detector

In order to improve the efficiency and reduce energy consumption of unmanned sailing boats for water quality inspection and sampling, particle swarm optimization was used for global path planning. The traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm has the problem of premature convergence because it is easy to fall into the local optimal solution. To solve this problem, an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed. Based on the traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm, the crossover and mutation operations in genetic algorithm are introduced. Firstly, the particle swarm was initialized and the fitness of the particle was calculated, and the individual optimal value and local optimal value were updated. Then crossover and mutation operations are introduced to update the particle velocity and position according to the results. Finally, the convergence of the algorithm is judged according to the decision criteria. The simulation results show that compared with the traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm, this algorithm can effectively avoid the algorithm falling into the local optimal solution, and greatly shorten the overall path length and reduce path planning time.

Ultra-high performance concrete has excellent mechanical properties such as ultra-high strength and high durability, and has a broad application prospect in the field of bridge engineering. To make full use of the superior mechanical properties of UHPC and reduce the cost of the bridge, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to optimize the structural design of the UHPC beam bridge; Aiming at the problem that the traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm is easy to fall into local optimum, the nonlinear adaptive weight update method is used to improve the particle swarm optimization algorithm. Based on the above-mentioned improved particle swarm optimization algorithm, the optimal design method of ordinary reinforced UHPC beams and prestressed UHPC beams with commonly used highway spans is studied. The reliability of the optimized structural limit state is analyzed by Monte Carlo (MC) importance sampling method. The results show that compared with the traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm, the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm has higher convergence speed and convergence accuracy. The optimal height-span ratio of ordinary reinforced UHPC beams decreases with the increase of the span, and the construction cost gradually increases; The optimal height-span ratio of the prestressed beam decreases first and then increases with the increase of the span, and the construction cost gradually increases. The calculation results of load capacity reliability indexes of optimization results are all higher than the target reliability indexes of similar components stipulated in China’s “Uniform Standard for Structural Reliability Design of Highway Engineering”.

In view of the problem of premature convergence of traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm in path planning, which is easy to converge to local optimal solution and poor path quality, some theory about the corresponding PSO algorithm of simulated annealing optimization is studied in this paper. While planning the moving path of the robot, it analyzes the effect of initial temperature and cooling coefficient on path length and iteration times from the major contributing factors of simulated annealing algorithm. Thus deduce the law of its change and seek the optimal parameter matching. Simulated annealing algorithm can not only move the updated particle position on the basis of the particle swarm optimization formula, but also select the updated position with a certain probability. The method is used to avoid the particle converging into the local optimal solution in the whole iterative process. The capabilities of the global optimization is strengthened. Compared with the traditional PSO algorithm, the simulated annealing PSO in complex environment has better optimization ability, shorter path and fewer iterations in the simulation results.KeywordsParticle swarmPath planningSimulated annealingLinear inertia weight

The assembly accuracy of aircraft thin-walled components produced in the same batch is subject to fluctuations influenced by part tolerances and assembly processes. Significant variations in assembly precision can lead to increased assembly adjustment costs, severely affecting both efficiency and overall expenses. However, tolerance optimization that takes into account these fluctuations requires the integration of assembly deviation calculations, characterized by a high demand for large sample sizes and frequent iterative computations, which results in escalated computational costs. In this context, this paper establishes a data-driven mathematical model for tolerance optimization that comprehensively considers fluctuations in assembly accuracy, manufacturing costs, and quality losses, using a surrogate model as the core computational engine. Furthermore, to address the shortcomings of the traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm, namely, its tendency to get trapped in local optima and its insufficient local search capabilities, this study proposes an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm that integrates a chaotic local search strategy and second vibration particles. This enhanced algorithm is applied to the tolerance optimization problem of aircraft thin-walled components.

Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) have been widely used in engineering fields because of their significant advantages including high load-bearing capacity, large workspace, and low inertia. However, the impact of convergence speed and solution accuracy of optimization approaches on optimal performances can become a key issue when it comes to the optimal design of CDPR applied to large storage space. An adaptive adjustment inertia weight particle swarm optimization (AAIWPSO) algorithm is proposed for the multi-objective optimal design of CDPR. The kinematic and static models of CDPR are established based on the principle of virtual work. Subsequently, two performance indices including workspace and dexterity are derived. A multi-objective optimization model is established based on performance indices. The AAIWPSO algorithm introduces an adaptive adjustment inertia weight to improve the convergence efficiency and accuracy of traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Numerical examples demonstrate that final convergence values of the objective function by the AAIWPSO algorithm can almost be 14∼20% and 19∼40% higher than those by the PSO algorithm and genetic algorithm (GA) for the optimal design of CDPR with different configurations and masses of end-effectors, respectively.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are considered a promising example of an automatic emergency task in a dynamic marine environment. However, the maritime communication performance between UAVs and offshore platforms has become a severe challenge. Due to the complex marine environment, the task allocation and route planning efficiency of multiple UAVs in an intelligent ocean are not satisfactory. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an intelligent marine task allocation and route planning scheme for multiple UAVs based on improved particle swarm optimization combined with a genetic algorithm (GA-PSO). Based on the simulation of an intelligent marine control system, the traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is improved by introducing partial matching crossover and secondary transposition mutation. The improved GA-PSO is used to solve the random task allocation problem of multiple UAVs and the two-dimensional route planning of a single UAV. The simulation results show that compared with the traditional scheme, the proposed scheme can significantly improve the task allocation efficiency, and the navigation path planned by the proposed scheme is also optimal.
