摘要An efficient and innovative method is presented for the stress-related structural topology optimization(TO)in coupled mechanical-pressure systems by leveraging flexible polygonal meshes.With a polytopal composite finite element approach,the volumetric locking in nearly incompressible materials is reduced.A fluid-flow-based model is built,in which a design-dependent pressure variable is introduced to capture the loading conditions within the system.The P-norm approach consolidates the stress metrics into a global measure,while the clustered regional scaling and adaptive techniques enhance the solutions for stress-limited cases.The primary contributions of this work include a novel framework for addressing the stress challenges in coupled mechanical-pressure systems via flow-based modeling,the adaptability to both compressible and nearly incompressible materials,and the compatibility with diverse mesh types,including triangular,quadrilateral,and polygonal elements.The numerical examples demonstrate,for the first time,optimized topologies for nearly incompressible materials under stress constraints in coupled mechanical-pressure environments,emphasizing the unique strength of this approach.

摘要The high-aspect-ratio wing,which is widely utilized in aircraft to achieve superior aerodynamic efficiency,frequently experiences large deformations such as bending and torsion during its service life.This work focuses on the topology optimization of the high-aspect-ratio wing using multiple materials with bending and torsion controls considering geometric nonlinearity.A novel approach is proposed for achieving a spar-ribs material layout by independently controlling the directional maximum length scale of the void phase.The bending control based on the wing-tip nodal displacement and torsion control based on the deformation difference of the wing-tip nodes are proposed,respectively.Afterwards,the optimization formulations are given and the sensitivity analysis of the optimization responses is derived based on the increment of nodal displacement.The optimized results reveal that the spar-ribs structural layout is successfully attained through directional length scale control.Moreover,the optimized configurations with bending and torsion precisely controlled can be achieved.It also has been demonstrated that considering bending and torsion controls is highly profitable when assessing the trade-off between end compliance in wing optimization.

摘要Energy shortage has become one of themost concerning issues in the world today,and improving energy utilization efficiency is a key area of research for experts and scholars worldwide.Small-diameter heat exchangers offer advantages such as reduced material usage,lower refrigerant charge,and compact structure.However,they also face challenges,including increased refrigerant pressure drop and smaller heat transfer area inside the tubes.This paper combines the advantages and disadvantages of both small and large-diameter tubes and proposes a combined-diameter heat exchanger,consisting of large and small diameters,for use in the indoor units of split-type air conditioners.There are relatively few studies in this area.In this paper,A theoretical and numerical computation method is employed to establish a theoretical-numerical calculation model,and its reliability is verified through experiments.Using this model,the optimal combined diameters and flow path design for a combined-diameter heat exchanger using R32 as the working fluid are derived.The results show that the heat transfer performance of all combined diameter configurations improves by 2.79%to 8.26%compared to the baseline design,with the coefficient of performance(COP)increasing from 4.15 to 4.27~4.5.These designs can save copper material,but at the cost of an increase in pressure drop by 66.86%to 131.84%.The scheme IIIH,using R32,is the optimal combined-diameter and flow path configuration that balances both heat transfer performance and economic cost.

摘要The dual alloy turbine disk can fully leverage the advantages of dissimilar materials and has broad application prospects.Multi-material topology optimization(MMTO)provides possibilities for its innovative design.However,the coupling between multi-material design variables and centrifugal loads poses challenges,in-cluding insufficient stress prediction accuracy,ineffective stress control,and difficulties in optimization con-vergence.Therefore,a new MMTO method that considers accurate stress prediction and control under cen-trifugal loads is proposed herein.The core ideas are as follows.(1)Introducing the multi-material predicted density to reduce the number of gray elements,proposing a multi-material transition factor for flexible se-lection of stiffness matrix interpolation,and thus developing an innovative accurate multi-material stress prediction method.(2)By modifying the normalized global stress method and utilizing a fixed step size to update the multi-material global stress relaxation coefficient,the maximum stress of the design domain is effectively controlled.(3)Deriving the stress sensitivity of axisymmetric problems under the complex coupling of cen-trifugal loads and multi-material design variables to improve the optimization convergence of stresses.Then MMTO for a turbine disk is conducted using two popular alloys(GH4169 and K418B).The results show that the proposed MMTO method effectively controls maximum stress,fully utilizes the advantages of both alloys and achieves a novel dual-alloy turbine disk structure.

摘要Few-for-many(F4M)optimization,recently introduced as a novel paradigm in multi-objective optimization,aims to find a small set of solutions that effectively handle a large number of conflicting objectives.Unlike traditional many-objective optimization methods,which typically attempt comprehensive coverage of the Pareto front,F4M optimization emphasizes finding a small representative solution set to efficiently address highdimensional objective spaces.Motivated by the computational complexity and practical relevance of F4M optimization,this paper proposes a new evolutionary algorithm explicitly tailored for efficiently solving F4M optimization problems.Inspired by Smetric selection evolutionary multi-objective optimization algorithm(SMS-EMOA),our proposed approach employs a(μ+1)-evolution strategy guided by the objective of F4M optimization.Furthermore,to facilitate rigorous performance assessment,we propose a novel benchmark test suite specifically designed for F4M optimization by leveraging the similarity betw een the R2indicator and F4M formulations.Our test suite is highly flexible,allowing any existing multi-objective optimization problem to be transformed into a corresponding F4M instance via scalarization using the weighted Tchebycheff function.Comprehensive experimental evaluations on benchmarks demonstrate the superior performance of our algorithm compared to existing state-of-the-art algorithms,especially on instances involving a large number of objectives.The source code of the proposed algorithm will be released publicly.Source code is available at http://gffzz188fe103f8f1460aswvqbvq9wp5wv69pp.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn/MOL-SZU/SoM-EMOA.

摘要In the conceptual design phase of the satellite thermal management system,components layout optimization and structural topology optimization of satellite panel can meet global and local thermal management requirements,respectively.However,achieving non-interfering coupling between these two optimization processes remains a challenge.An integrated layout-structure design method based on thermal metamaterials is proposed,which comprises two design stages.In the first stage,components layout optimization is conducted to maximize temperature uniformity within the satellite module,yielding a globally optimized layout with balanced thermal characteristics.In the second stage,topology optimization guided by the design principle of thermal metamaterials is implemented in critical local panel regions to satisfy differentiated heat transfer requirements of components with diverse functional and thermal sensitivity properties.The key innovation lies in utilizing thermal metamaterials as a mediator to synergistically couple global components layout optimization with local structural topology optimization,which enables customized local heat flux manipulation without interfering with the globally optimized temperature field derived from the layout optimization.The method introduces neither additional mass nor special materials,offering advantages of low cost,high reliability,and strong versatility.It provides a new solution paradigm for the design of passive thermal management systems in satellites.

摘要Frequency diverse array multiple-input multiple-output(FDA-MIMO)radar has gained considerable research attention due to its ability to effectively counter active repeater deception jamming in complex electromagnetic environments.The effectiveness of interference suppression by FDA-MIMO is limited by the inherent range-angle coupling issue in the FDA beampattern.Existing literature primarily focuses on control methods for FDA-MIMO radar beam direction under the assumption of static beampatterns,with insufficient exploration of techniques for managing nonstationary beam directions.To address this gap,this paper initially introduces the FDA-MIMO signal model and the calculation formula for the FDA-MIMO array output using the minimum variance distortionless response(MVDR)beamformer.Building on this,the problem of determining the optimal frequency offset for the FDA is rephrased as a convex optimization problem,which is then resolved using the cuckoo search(CS)algorithm.Simulations confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach,showing that the frequency offsets obtained through the CS algorithm can create a dot-shaped beam direction at the target location while effectively suppressing interference signals within the mainlobe.

摘要Deep reinforcement learning(DRL)has demonstrated exceptional capabilities in combinatorial optimization,which automatically devises policies for solution construction and optimizer refinement.DRL is particularly adept in generating training samples by itself,thereby providing the flexibility to solve a variety of combinatorial optimization problems without supervision.While DRL takes actions according to states extracted from problem-specific information,it cannot be directly applied to black-box continuous optimization lacking explicit information.To address this issue,this paper proposes a search space independent operator based DRL method for black-box continuous optimization.It conceptualizes the optimization process driven by search space independent operators as a Markov decision process,wherein actions are defined as operators and states are extracted from solutions generated by operators.In contrast to other DRLassisted metaheuristics,the proposed method does not rely on any existing metaheuristic.Instead,it innovates by creating totally new operators,able to surpass the performance boundaries of existing metaheuristics.Compared with state-of-the-art metaheuristics and DRL methods,the proposed method shows significantly faster convergence speed on challenging continuous optimization problems.

摘要Metaheuristic algorithms have emerged as indispensable tools for solving NP-hard optimization problems that defy traditional methods.To advance the field’s focus on algorithmic performance,this study introduces the Theory Evolution Optimization(TEO)–an efficient metaheuristic inspired by the evolution of scientific theory.TEO simulates the competitive,accumulative,and replacement processes among scientific hypotheses,mirroring the evolution from a hypothesis to an established scientific theory.The performance of TEO is validated through extensive experimental simulations and benchmarked against 28 popular algorithms,including highly competitive champions such as EBOwithCMAR,LSHADE_cnEpSi,and LSHADE.Pairwise comparisons between TEO and the latest algorithms are conducted using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test,with multiple comparisons managed by the Friedman test.Initially,TEO is tested on the classical IEEE CEC2017 and the latest IEEE CEC2022 benchmark functions.TEO successfully addresses four prominent engineering design problems in constrained continuous space for practical applications.Additionally,a binary TEO(BTEO)variant is introduced and applied to feature selection tasks in discrete space.Experimental results consistently demonstrate that TEO proposes highly competitive outcomes in optimization problems.The source codes for this research are accessible to the public at http://gffzze767f4cc5ce545d8swvqbvq9wp5wv69pp.ffgz.tsg.suse.edu.cn/TEO.html.
