Technical Issues

As the key running part of the railway freight transportation system, the wheel not only bears the load of the vehicle, but also ensures the running and steering of the car body on the rails. The frequent high-speed friction with the rail and brake is the main reason for early failure of wheelset tread. Therefore, real-time status monitoring and early fault diagnosis of wheel treads have become key technical issues that must be solved in the reform of the railway freight maintenance system. In this paper, an adaptive hybrid Simulated Annealing Cuckoo Search algorithm (SA-ACS) is proposed and applied to the Deep Belief Network (DBN). The SA-ACS-DBN algorithm is used to improve the training speed and convergence accuracy of the diagnosis model. Finally, it is found through the comparison experiment of wheel tread fault data that the data results prove the feasibility of the SA-ACS-DBN model in the application of wheelset fault diagnosis.

Abstract In this study, we aim to minimize the total waiting time between successive treatments for inpatients in rehabilitation hospitals (departments) during a working day. Firstly, the daily treatment scheduling problem is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming model, taking into consideration real-life requirements, and is solved by Gurobi, a commercial solver. Then, an improved cuckoo search algorithm is developed to obtain good quality solutions quickly for large-sized problems. Our methods are demonstrated with data collected from a medium-sized rehabilitation hospital in China. The numerical results indicate that the improved cuckoo search algorithm outperforms the real schedules applied in the targeted hospital with regard to the total waiting time of inpatients. Gurobi can construct schedules without waits for all the tested dataset though its efficiency is quite low. Three sets of numerical experiments are executed to compare the improved cuckoo search algorithm with Gurobi in terms of solution quality, effectiveness and capability to solve large instances.

Background: Dexterity is an important index for evaluating the motion performance of a robot. The size of the robot connecting rods directly affects the performance of flexibility. Objective: The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of optimal design methods from many pieces of literature and patents, and propose a new optimal design method for ensuring the robot completes its tasks flexibly and efficiently under workspace constraints. Methods: The kinematics and working space of the robot are analyzed to determine the range of motion of each joint. Then, a dexterity index is established based on the mean value of the global spatial condition number. Finally, an improved cuckoo algorithm is proposed, which changes the step size control factor with the number of iterations. Taking the dexterity index as the objective optimization function and the working radius as the constraint condition, the improved cuckoo search algorithm is used to optimize the size of the robot rod. Results: The improved cuckoo algorithm and proposed rod size optimized method are fully evaluated by experiments and comparative studies. The optimization design process shows that the proposed method has better solution accuracy and faster convergence speed. The optimized design results show that the robot's dexterity index has increased by 26.1%. Conclusion: The proposed method has better solution accuracy and faster convergence speed. The method was suitable for optimizing the rod parameters of the robot, and it was very meaningful to improve the motion performance of the robot.
