Selecting the optimal parameters for wet steam accumulator of steam-powered catapult is an important task, due to launching safety. There is no literature on the topic of the parameters optimization for wet steam accumulator of steam-powered catapult. The genetic algorithm (GA) was used to determine the optimal wet steam accumulator in this article. The sink-off-the-bow (SOB), angle of attack and rate of climb were used to create the objective function. The multi-objective optimization can be converted to single-objective optimization, which is subject to angle of attack and rate of climb. Moreover, the simulation model of the steam catapult system was built by creating a thermodynamics model of steam-powered catapult, a mathematical model of traction release device, a statics model of tensioning, a statics model of full takeoff power, a mathematical model of catapult force build-up with holdback, a model of release, a dynamics model of power stroke, a dynamics model of free deck run and a dynamics model of fly away. Finally, the optimal combination of the wet steam accumulator was obtained via numerical simulation. The GA method can effectively find the optimal parameters of wet steam accumulator, and its optimized parameters can increase the safety of catapult launch process.

On the basis of javelin wind tunnel experiment, we established mathematical model of javelin flight to conduct a computer optimization and got the conclusions. When the initial velocity is in the range of 25m/s-30m/s, the best throwing condition is: the throwing angle is 40°, the angle of attack is 11°. The javelin throwing condition is not zero angle of attack was necessary and sufficient for obtained aerodynamic efficiency.

Abstract The method for analysing transversal plane images from computer tomography scans is considered in the paper. This method allows not only approximating ribs-bounded contour but also evaluating patient rotation around the vertical axis during a scan. In this method, a mathematical model describing the ribs-bounded contour was created and the problem of approximation has been solved by finding the optimal parameters of the mathematical model using least-squares-type objective function. The local search has been per-formed using local descent by quasi-Newton methods. The benefits of analytical derivatives of the function are disclosed in the paper.

Mostly, magnetorheological (MR) dampers were optimized based on individual performance, without considering the influence of structure parameters change on vehicle performance. Therefore, a multi-objective optimization scheme of MR damper based on vehicle dynamics model was proposed. The finite element method was used to analyze magnetic flux density distribution in tapered damping channel under different structure parameters. Furthermore, the damping force expression of the tapered flow mode MR damper was derived, and the damping force was introduced into the vehicle dynamics model. In order to improve the ride comfort and operation stability of the vehicle, a collaborative optimization platform combining magnetic circuit finite element analysis and vehicle dynamics model was established. Based on this platform, the optimal design variables were determined by comfort and stability sensitivity analysis. The time domain optimization objective and frequency domain optimization objective are proposed simultaneously to overcome the lack of time domain optimization objective. The results show that compared with the time domain optimization and the initial design, the suspension dynamic deflection, tire dynamic load and vehicle body vertical acceleration are decreased after the time-frequency optimization. At the same time, in the frequency domain, the amplitude of vibration acceleration in each working condition is significantly reduced.

The assembly method using the effect of rotational motion and vibration is considered. The presence of rotation allows to signifi cantly reducing the friction force in connection, which prevents the assembly process. The effect is achieved due to using the rotation of robot gripper and the vibrating device. A mathematical dynamics model of the robotic assembly process is presented

Abstract We treat the design of a three-jointed, anthropomorphic, finger mechanism for prostheses and robotic end-effectors. Based on the study of configurations for the human finger, we propose a six-bar linkage with one degree of freedom for the finger mechanism. A model of the fingertip displacement of the mechanism is derived by a vector analysis approach. We study the effects of joint friction on the transmission efficiency. By measuring the joint positions of a human finger, we develop a mathematical model of the pinching and holding configurations for the human finger. Optimal parameters for the finger mechanism are obtained by nonlinear programming based on motion posture, locus, transmission efficiency, and weight subject to geometric and bionic constraints. Simulations indicate that the mechanism is useful in a variety of prosthetic and robotic devices.

The objective of this paper is focuses on route optimization, for a given wireless sensor network. We detail the significance of route optimization problem and the corresponding mathematical model. After analyzing the complex multi-objective optimization problem, Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm was introduced to search the best route. Inspired by Genetic Algorithm (GA), we embed two operations into ACO to refine it. First, every ant after achieving sink will be regarded as an individual such as that in GA. The crossover operation will be applied and then, the generated new ants will replace the weaker parents. Second, we designed a mutation operation for ants selecting next nodes to visit. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed combination algorithm has significant enhancements than both GA and ACO. The lifetime of WSN can be extended and the coverage speed can be accelerated.

The problem of optimal allocation of jobs by work stations of flow-line conveyor system boils down to a class of extremum problems, which, in turn, can be narrowed down to discrete programming models. The paper offers a mathematical model designed to allocate operations for manufacturing certain product by flow-line conveyor work stations. The model is built with due regard to operations procedure limitations and can be used to design flow-line conveyor system for the purpose of parameters optimization.
