Honeycomb Sandwich Structure

In this paper weight optimization of sandwich structure consisting of a honeycomb core sandwiched between two layers is presented through the use of Sequential Quadratic Programming & Genetic Algorithm by constraining of certain parameters such as buckling stress, cost and geometry. The variables to be optimized are core height, face sheet thickness and cell thickness for an effective design and better performance of the entire structural system. Sequential Quadratic Programming in Matlaband Genetic Algorithm technique with high robustness is performed and comparison between the two results is made for early convergence of the variables to be optimized. In this way, the structure could easily be monitored for any volatility, and avoid probable failure by employing proper remedial action.

Wave spectra are estimated from wave frequency motions of a vessel at zero or low advance speed. Minimization of a cost functional that indicates how well the estimated spectrum results in the measured motion spectra was based on sequential quadratic programming and a genetic algorithm. Two procedures have been developed and applied to numerically simulated motions of a 59 m length offshore supply vessel.

Distortion Index

This work presents a substantial improvement of the variables’ inclusion and interchange algorithm (VIIA) for capacitors placement that considers circuits with harmonic distortion. Several load states are considered, and fixed and switched capacitors are employed in optimization. All the pertinent constraints of voltage magnitude, total harmonic distortion, individual harmonic distortion, and of overstress of capacitors are implemented. The here defined global harmonic-distortion index states the distance to the feasibility or the unfeasibility of a solution with respect the harmonic distortion constraints. The inclusion in the sequential quadratic programming sub-problem of an inequality linear constraint on this global harmonic-distortion index, allows the determining of solutions that comply with the harmonic distortion related constraints. A comparison of the solutions of various examples obtained by the presented method with the best solutions obtained by the Matlab’s genetic algorithm shows the effectiveness of this method.

Swarm Optimization

A novel performance seeking control method based on hybrid optimization algorithm and deep learning modeling method is proposed to get a better engine performance. The deep learning modeling method, deep neural network, which has strong representation capability and can deal with big training data, is adopted to establish an on-board engine model. A hybrid optimization algorithm—genetic algorithm particle swarm optimization–feasible sequential quadratic programming—is proposed and applied to performance seeking control. The genetic algorithm particle swarm optimization–feasible sequential quadratic programming not only has the global search ability of genetic algorithm particle swarm optimization, but also has the high local search accuracy of feasible sequential quadratic programming. The final simulation experiments show that, compared with feasible sequential quadratic programming, genetic algorithm particle swarm optimization, and genetic algorithm, the proposed optimization algorithm can get more installed thrust, decrease fuel consumption between 2% to 3%, and decrease turbine blade temperature larger than 15k, while meeting all of the constraints. Moreover, it also shows that the proposed modeling method has high accuracy and real-time performance.

And Performance

A large portion of the wet and dry mass budget in any space system is assigned to the propulsion system. Each of these depends on the engine system design values. Any effort to decrease the mass of space systems demands an additional effort to reduce the propulsion system mass, which in turn requires a complete review of the engine design. Thus, proposing a computational model derived from the engine design and based on minimum system mass is necessary. The present computational research developed a propulsion system design strategy for liquid propulsion systems to optimize take-off mass and satisfy the thrust required under performance and structural constraints. Improvement of the geometric and performance variables and component mass using a mass-based model for optimization process is investigated. The method uses a hybrid genetic algorithm sequential quadratic programming as an optimizer. The mass-based formulation problem is solved using a hybrid optimization algorithm with a genetic algorithm as the global optimizer and sequential quadratic programming as the local optimizer starting from the solution given by the genetic algorithm. The convergence of the optimization algorithm is improved by introducing an initial solution based on genetic algorithm. Comparison of the proposed design optimization model with a real space propulsion system indicates that the performance of the proposed algorithm significantly improved the final results. While propellant mass, engine consumption rate and engine geometric dimensions decreased, specific impulse increased. All of these decreased the total mass of the space propulsion system.
