Genetic algorithm (GA) is widely accepted method for handling optimization problems. GA can find optimal solutions for large and irregular search spaces. However, finding optimal solutions using GA is associated with high computational time when coupled with finite element (FE) code, since FE analysis should be applied to each individual of GA populations. A neural network metamodel (NNM) is introduced to reduce the computational time.GA utilizes the NNMas an approximation tool instead of FE. Application examples results show that the metamodelcan be used efficiently to obtainthe optimal process parameters of metal forming operations with large saving in time.

Abstract Optimization gives a new facet to design and development of tires. A new approach to the tire profile optimization is proposed in this study. The optimization procedure is integrated with a simple shell-spring finite element model for faster evaluation. In the shell-spring model, the shell elements represent the tire carcass, whereas the tread is represented by the spring elements. This is applied for the optimization of the tire contour for better maneuverability. The genetic algorithm, an evolutionary optimization procedure that is robust and efficient in solving complex optimization problems, is chosen. A new tire contour is obtained that improves tire maneuverability by increasing the sidewall belt tension.

A new approach to the generation of an initial point is proposed for discrete combined shape, which improves fully the local searching capability of discrete combined shape algorithm. Combined shape algorithm is embedded into genetic algorithm as a combined shape operator. Consequently a hybrid genetic algorithm for structural optimization with discrete variables is proposed. The constrained optimization problems were dealt with by adaptive annealing penalty factors and penalty function. The numerical results show that improved combined shape genetic algorithm for structural optimization with discrete variable problems has a faster convergence speed, which has advantages of local searching capability and globally searching capability of genetic algorithm. Improved combined shape genetic algorithm is an efficient optimal design method for engineering structure.

This study proposes a neural network-family competition genetic algorithm (NN-FCGA) for solving the electromagnetic (EM) optimization and other general-purpose optimization problems. The NN-FCGA is a hybrid evolutionary-based algorithm, combining the good approximation performance of neural network (NN) and the robust and effective optimum search ability of the family competition genetic algorithms (FCGA) to accelerate the optimization process. In this study, the NN-FCGA is used to extract a set of optimal design parameters for two representative design examples: the multiple section low-pass filter and the polygonal electromagnetic absorber. Our results demonstrate that the optimal electromagnetic properties given by the NN-FCGA are comparable to those of the FCGA, but reducing a large amount of computation time and a well-trained NN model that can serve as a nonlinear approximator was developed during the optimization process of the NN-FCGA.

Aiming at the problems existing in the traditional teaching mode, this paper intelligently optimizes English teaching courses by using multidirectional mutation genetic algorithm and its optimization neural network method. Firstly, this paper gives the framework of intelligent English course optimization system based on multidirectional mutation genetic BP neural network and analyses the local optimization problems existing in the traditional BP algorithm. A BP neural network optimization algorithm based on multidirectional mutation genetic algorithm (MMGA-BP) is presented. Then, the multidirectional mutation genetic BPNN algorithm is applied to the intelligent optimization of English teaching courses. The simulation shows that the multidirectional mutation genetic BP neural network algorithm can solve the local optimization problem of traditional BP neural network. Finally, a control group and an experimental group are set up to verify the role of multidirectional mutation genetic algorithm and its optimization neural network in the intelligent optimization system of English teaching courses through the combination of summative and formative teaching evaluations. The data show that MMGA-BP algorithm can significantly improve the scores of academic students in English courses and has better teaching performance. The effect of vocabulary teaching under the guidance of MMGA-BP optimization theory is very significant, which plays a certain role in the intelligent curriculum optimization of the experimental class.

To optimize the design of reliability systems, an analyst is frequently faced with the demand of achieving several targets (i.e., maximization of system reliability, minimizations of cost, volume, and weight), some of which may be in conflict with each other. This paper presents a novel hybrid approach, combining a multi-objective genetic algorithm and a neural network, for multi-objective optimization of a reliability system, namely GANNRS (Genetic Algorithm and Neural Network for Reliability System optimization). The multi-objective genetic algorithm's evolutionary strategy is based on the modified neighborhood design, and is presented to find the Pareto optimal solutions so as to provide a variety of compromise solutions to the decision makers. The purpose of the neural network is to generate a good initial population in order to speed up the searching by genetic algorithm. For demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed approach, four multi-objective optimization problems of reliability system are used, and the outcomes are compared with those from other methods. The evidence shows that the proposed GANNRS is more efficient in computation, and the results from the objectives are appealing.
