Artificial AlgaeAlgorithm (AAA) is an optimization algorithm that has advantages of swarm algorithm model and evolution model. AAA consists of three phases of helical movement phase, reproduction, and adaptation. Helical movement is a three-dimensional movement with the direction of x, y, and z which is very influential in the rate of convergence and diversity of solutions. Helical motion optimization aims to increase the convergence rate by moving the algae to the best colony in the population. Algae Algorithm Optimization (AAA ') was tested with 25 objective functions of CEC'05 and implemented in case of pressure vessel design optimization. The results of the CEC'05 function test show that there is an increase in convergence rate at AAA ', but at worst condition of AAA' becomes less stable and trapped in local optima. The complexity analysis shows that AAA has the complexity of O (M3N2O) and AAA 'has the complexity of O (M2N2O) with M is the number of colonies, N is the number of algae individuals, and O is the maximum of the evaluation function. The results of the implementation of pressure vessel design optimization show that AAA's execution time increased 1,103 times faster than AAA. The increase in speed is due to the tournament selection process in AAA performed before the helical motion, whereas in AAA 'is done if the solution after movement is no better than before. At its best, AAA 'found a solution 4.5921 times faster than AAA. At worst, AAA 'stuck on local optima because helical movement is too focused on global best that is not necessarily global optima.

Abstract A design optimization approach to robot path planning in a two dimensional workplace is presented. Obstacles are represented as a series of rectangular regions and collision detection is performed by an operation similar to clipping in computer graphics. The feasible design space is approximated by a discrete set of robot arm and gripper positions. Control is applied directly through the angular motion of each link. Feasible positions which are located between the initial and final robot link positions are grouped into stages. A dynamic programming algorithm is applied to locate the best state within each stage which minimizes the overall path length. An example is presented involving a three link planar manipulator. Extensions to three dimensional robot path planning and real time control in a dynamically changing workplace are discussed.

Evolution strategies (ES) are a family of strong stochastic methods for global optimization and have proved their capability in avoiding local optima more than other optimization methods. Many researchers have investigated different versions of the original evolution strategy with good results in a variety of optimization problems. However, the convergence rate of the algorithm to the global optimum stays asymptotic. In order to accelerate the convergence rate, a hybrid approach is proposed using the nonlinear simplex method (Nelder-Mead) and an adaptive scheme to control the local search application, and the authors demonstrate that such combination yields significantly better convergence. The new proposed method has been tested on 15 complex benchmark functions and applied to the bi-objective portfolio optimization problem and compared with other state-of-the-art techniques. Experimental results show that the performance is improved by this hybridization in terms of solution eminence and strong convergence.

In this paper, we developed an exact analytical 3D elasticity solution to investigate mechanical behavior of a thick multilayered anisotropic fiber-reinforced pressure vessel subjected to multiple mechanical loadings. This closed-form solution was implemented in a computer program, and analytical results were compared to finite element analysis (FEA) calculations. In order to predict through-thickness stresses accurately, three-dimensional finite element meshes were used in the FEA since shell meshes can only be used to predict in-plane strength. Three-dimensional FEA results are in excellent agreement with the analytical results. Finally, using the proposed analytical approach, we evaluated structural damage and failure conditions of the composite pressure vessel using the Tsai–Wu failure criteria and predicted a maximum burst pressure.

Ultra-High Pressure Vessel (UHPV) with self-protective Flat Steel Ribbons (FSR) wound and Tooth-Locked Quick-Actuating (TLQA) end closure is a new type of vessel developed in recent years. When the structural parameters of its TLQA and Buttress Thread (BT) end closure are determined using the ordinary engineering design method, Design by Analysis (DBA) shows that the requirement on fatigue life of this unique UHPV could hardly be satisfied. To solve the above problem, an integrated FE modeling method has been proposed in this paper. To investigate the fatigue life of TLQA and BT end closures of a full-scale unique UHPV, a three-dimensional (3-D) Finite Element (FE) solid model and a two-dimensional (2-D) FE axisymmetric model are built in FE software ANSYS, respectively., Nonlinear FE analysis and orthogonal testing are both conducted to obtain the optimum structure strength, in which the peak stress in the TLQA or BT end closure of the unique UHPV is taken as an optimal target. The important parameters, such as root structure of teeth, contact pressure between the pre-stressed collar and the cylinder end, the knuckle radius, the buttress thread profile and the local structure of the cylinder, are optimized. As a result, both the stress distribution at the root of teeth and the axial load carried by each thread are improved. Therefore, the load-carrying capacity of the end closure has been reinforced and the fatigue life of unique UHPV has been extended.

Abstract Design optimization of aircraft engine-mount systems for vibration isolation is presented. The engine is modeled as a rigid body connected to a flexible base representing the nacelle. The base is modeled with mass and stiffness matrices and structural damping using finite element modeling. The mounts are modeled as three-dimensional springs with hysteresis damping. The objective is to select the stiffness coefficients and orientation angles of the individual mounts to minimize the transmitted forces from the engine to the base. Meanwhile, the mounts have to be stiff enough not allowing engine deflection to exceed its limits under static and low frequency loadings. It is shown that with an optimal system the transmitted forces may be reduced significantly particularly when mount orientation angles are also treated as design variables. The optimization problems are solved using a Constraint Variable Metric approach. The closed form derivatives of the engine vibrational amplitudes with respect to design variables are derived in order to achieve a more effective optimization search technique.

SUMMARY A great diversity of unicellular and invertebrate organisms swim along a helical path, but it is not well understood how asymmetries in the body shape or the movement of propulsive structures affect a swimmer’s ability to perform the body rotation necessary to move helically. The present study found no significant asymmetries in the body shape of ascidian larvae (Distaplia occidentalis) that could operate to rotate the body during swimming. By recording the three-dimensional movement of free-swimming larvae, it was found that the tail possessed two bends, each with constant curvature along their length. As these bends traveled posteriorly, the amplitude of curvature changes was significantly greater in the concave-left direction than in the concave-right direction. In addition to this asymmetry, the tail oscillated at an oblique angle to the midline of the trunk. These asymmetries generated a yawing moment that rotated the body in the counterclockwise direction from a dorsal view, according to calculations from hydrodynamic theory. The tails of resting larvae were bent in the concave-left direction with a curvature statistically indistinguishable from the median value for tail curvature during swimming. The flexural stiffness of the tails of larvae, measured in three-point bending, may be great enough to allow the resting curvature of the tail to have an effect on the symmetry of kinematics. This work suggests that asymmetrical tail motion is an important mechanism for generating a yawing moment during swimming in ascidian larvae and that these asymmetries may be caused by the tail’s bent shape. Since helical motion requires that moments also be generated in the pitching or rolling directions, other mechanisms are required to explain fully how ascidian larvae generate and control helical swimming.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a process of making a Three-Dimensional (3D) solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model that is used for both prototyping and distributed manufacturing with applications in many fields, such as dental and medical industries and biotech (human tissue replacement). AM refers to technologies that create objects through a sequential layering process. AM processes have several primary areas of complexity that may not be measured precisely, due to uncertain situations. Therefore, this chapter reports an analytical model for evaluating process complexity that takes into account uncertain situations and additive manufacturing process technologies. The model is able to rank AM processes based on their relative complexities. An illustrative example for several processes is demonstrated in order to present the application of the model.
