With this algorithm, the robustness is guaranteed by the adaptive control law and the parametric uncertainties are eliminated. FNNA is used to handle model uncertainties and external disturbances. In the proposed control scheme, we consider modifying the weight of fuzzy rules and present these rules to a MIMO system of parallel manipulators with more than three degrees-of-freedom (DoF). The algorithm has the advantage of not requiring the inverse of the Jacobian matrix especially for the low DoF parallel manipulators. The validity of the control scheme is shown through numerical simulations of a 6-RPS parallel manipulator with three DoF.展开更多

The Orthotropic Experiment Method (OEM) is used to select the most appropriate design samples for network training. The trained response surfaces can either be objective function or constraint conditions. Together with other conven- tional constraints, an optimization model is then set up and can be solved by Genetic Algorithm (GA). This allows the separation between design analysis modeling and optimization searching. Through an example of a hat-stiffened composite plate design, the weight response surface is constructed to be objective function, and strength and buckling response surfaces as constraints; and all of them are trained through NASTRAN finite element analysis. The results of optimization study illustrate that the cycles of structural analysis ean be remarkably reduced or even eliminated during the optimization, thus greatly raising the efficiency of optimization process. It also observed that NNRS approximation can achieve equal or even better accuracy than conventional functional response surfaces.展开更多

It is difficult to obtain a good model of a nonlinear system, especially when the nonlinearity is high. Neural networks have the ability to "learn"the characteristics of a system through nonlinear mapping to represent nonlinear functions as well as their inverse functions. This paper presents a model algorithm control method using neural networks for nonlinear time delay systems. Two neural networks are used in the control scheme. One neural network is trained as the model of the nonlinear time delay system, and the other one produces the control inputs. The neural networks are combined with the model algorithm control method to control the nonlinear time delay systems. Three examples are used to illustrate the proposed control method. The simulation results show that the proposed control method has a good control performance for nonlinear time delay systems.展开更多

This paper proposes an improved gravitational search algorithm(IGSA) to improve the performance of the GSA, and first applies it to the field of dynamic neural network identification. The IGSA uses trial-and-error method to update the optimal agent during the whole search process. And in the late period of the search, it changes the orbit of the poor agent and searches the optimal agent s position further using the coordinate descent method. For the experimental verification of the proposed algorithm,both GSA and IGSA are testified on a suite of four well-known benchmark functions and their complexities are compared. It is shown that IGSA has much better efficiency, optimization precision, convergence rate and robustness than GSA. Thereafter, the IGSA is applied to the nonlinear autoregressive exogenous(NARX) recurrent neural network identification for a magnetic levitation system.Compared with the system identification based on gravitational search algorithm neural network(GSANN) and other conventional methods like BPNN and GANN, the proposed algorithm shows the best performance.展开更多

The algorithm was simplified when it was formulated. Especially, the simplification to matrix Hessian was very reluctant, which led to the loss of valuable information and affected performance of the algorithm to certain extent.

In this new model,the gradient descent algorithm is replaced by the LM algorithm to obtain the minimum of output errors during network training,which changes the weights adjusting equations of the network and increases the training speed. Moreover,to avoid the results yielding to local minimum,the transfer function is also revised to sigmoid function. A case study is utilized to validate this new model,and the results reveal that the new model fast training speed and better forecasting capability.

摘要The present study proposed an enhanced cuckoo search(ECS) algorithm combined with artificial neural network(ANN) as the surrogate model to solve structural reliability problems. In order to enhance the accuracy and convergence rate of the original cuckoo search(CS) algorithm, the main parameters namely, abandon probability of worst nests paand search step sizeα0 are dynamically adjusted via nonlinear control equations. In addition, a global-best guided equation incorporating the information of global best nest is introduced to the ECS to enhance its exploitation. Then, the proposed ECS is linked to the well-trained ANN model for structural reliability analysis. The computational capability of the proposed algorithm is validated using five typical structural reliability problems and an engineering application. The comparison results show the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithm.

摘要The performance of the model algorithm control method is partially based on the accuracy of the system's model. It is difficult to obtain a good model of a nonlinear system, especially when the nonlinearity is high. Neural networks have the ability to "learn"the characteristics of a system through nonlinear mapping to represent nonlinear functions as well as their inverse functions. This paper presents a model algorithm control method using neural networks for nonlinear time delay systems. Two neural networks are used in the control scheme. One neural network is trained as the model of the nonlinear time delay system, and the other one produces the control inputs. The neural networks are combined with the model algorithm control method to control the nonlinear time delay systems. Three examples are used to illustrate the proposed control method. The simulation results show that the proposed control method has a good control performance for nonlinear time delay systems.

摘要Gravitational search algorithm(GSA) is a newly developed and promising algorithm based on the law of gravity and interaction between masses. This paper proposes an improved gravitational search algorithm(IGSA) to improve the performance of the GSA, and first applies it to the field of dynamic neural network identification. The IGSA uses trial-and-error method to update the optimal agent during the whole search process. And in the late period of the search, it changes the orbit of the poor agent and searches the optimal agent s position further using the coordinate descent method. For the experimental verification of the proposed algorithm,both GSA and IGSA are testified on a suite of four well-known benchmark functions and their complexities are compared. It is shown that IGSA has much better efficiency, optimization precision, convergence rate and robustness than GSA. Thereafter, the IGSA is applied to the nonlinear autoregressive exogenous(NARX) recurrent neural network identification for a magnetic levitation system.Compared with the system identification based on gravitational search algorithm neural network(GSANN) and other conventional methods like BPNN and GANN, the proposed algorithm shows the best performance.
摘要A genetic algorithm based on the nested intervals chaos search (NICGA) hasbeen given. Because the nested intervals chaos search is introduced into the NICGA to initialize thepopulation and to lead the evolution of the population, the NICGA has the advantages of decreasingthe population size, enhancing the local search ability, and improving the computational efficiencyand optimization precision. In a multi4ayer feed forward neural network model for predicting thesilicon content in hot metal, the NICGA was used to optimize the connection weights and thresholdvalues of the neural network to improve the prediction precision. The application results show thatthe precision of predicting the silicon content has been increased.
摘要A kind of second order algorithm--recursive approximate Newton algorithm was given by Karayiannis. The algorithm was simplified when it was formulated. Especially, the simplification to matrix Hessian was very reluctant, which led to the loss of valuable information and affected performance of the algorithm to certain extent. For multi layer feed forward neural networks, the second order back propagation recursive algorithm based generalized cost criteria was proposed. It is proved that it is equivalent to Newton recursive algorithm and has a second order convergent rate. The performance and application prospect are analyzed. Lots of simulation experiments indicate that the calculation of the new algorithm is almost equivalent to the recursive least square multiple algorithm. The algorithm and selection of networks parameters are significant and the performance is more excellent than BP algorithm and the second order learning algorithm that was given by Karayiannis.
