In order to further increase the volume, reduce the weight and manufacturing cost, the key structural parameters of thin-walled metal packing container are optimized. The instability conditions under circumferential external pressure and axial load are analyzed, a mathematical model with the constraint of critical instability strength, the maximum volume and minimum mass as the objective is constructed. Multi-objective optimization method with nonlinear constraints is used to solve the key structural parameters, such as wall thickness, diameter and height, and the optimization result is calculated by fgoalattain() function in the Matlab optimization toolbox. The instability pressure test system is constructed, the instability pressure of the optimized thin-wall metal packing container is tested. The results show that the unstable pressure is higher than 120kPa, which are better than the design index.

Hydraulic engine mounts (HEMs) are important vehicle components to isolate the vehicle structure from engine vibration. A parameter optimization methodology for an HEM based on a genetic neural network (NN) model is proposed in this study. Samples of HEMs with different structures and rubber materials are manufactured and their dynamic characteristics are tested on an MTS 831 elastomer test system. Then the test results are used as samples to train the NN model which defines the non-linear global mapping relationship between the HEM's structural parameters and its dynamic characteristics. The fitness values of the population in the genetic algorithm are calculated by the trained NN model, and the optimal solution was acquired with the mutation of population. Finally, experiments are made to validate the reliability of the optimal solution. The proposed optimization method can specify the structures and materials of HEMs to meet the design requirements automatically.

Rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are widespread in both the military and civilian applications. However, there are still some problems for the UAV design such as the long design period, high manufacturing cost, and difficulty in maintenance. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel design method to obtain a lightweight and maintainable UAV frame from configurable design to detailed design. First, configurable design is implemented to determine the initial design domain of the UAV frame. Second, topology optimization method based on inertia relief theory is used to transform the initial geometric model into the UAV frame structure. Third, process design is considered to improve the manufacturability and maintainability of the UAV frame. Finally, dynamic drop test is used to validate the crashworthiness of the UAV frame. Therefore, a lightweight UAV frame structure composed of thin-walled parts can be obtained and the design period can be greatly reduced via the proposed method.

Being aimed to deformation problem of pre-stressed concrete thin-walled multi-room box girders exposed to co-action of fire and load, on the basis of enthalpy conduction model and thermo-mechanics parameters, the finite element procedure was applied to analyze the deformation of three spans pre-stressed concrete thin-walled multi-room box girders exposed to co-action of fire and load. In conclusion, the deflection is obvious under action of the variation width and fire load model.

A non-iterative design method about high order intermittent mechanisms is presented. The mathematical principle is that a compound function produced by two basic functions, and then one to three order derivatives of the compound function are all zeroes when one order derivative of each basic function is zero at the same moment. The design method is that a combined mechanism is constructed by six bars; the displacement functions of the front four-bar and back four-bar mechanisms are separately built, let one order derivatives of two displacement functions separately be zero at the same moment, and then get geometrical relationships and solution on the intermittent mechanism. A design example shows that this method is simpler and transmission characteristics are better than optimization method.

In this paper, a new genetic algorithm method to optimize the frequency selective surface(FSS) is presented. The optimization speed and definition are promoted by limiting the parameter range and changing the genetic basis. A new cost function is introduced to optimize the multi-frequency of FSS by multi-object optimization (MO). The cirque element was optimized by the optimization method, fabricated by the selective electroless plating on fabric and measured by the arch test system. Test result proves the simulated result coincide with measured result. Result shows that it’s possible to realize different optimizations based on the various applying by this method.

As a major Green House Gases (GHG) producer, CO2 in particular, the electricity industry’s emissions have turned in to a matter of immense concern in many countries, especially in India. India’s economy and fast economic development has attracts the attention of the world. Emission trading schemes (ETS) and renewable energy support schemes (RESS) are implemented by the various developed countries to alleviate the affect of GHG emissions. In this paper, an optimization based market simulation approach is proposed with the consideration of emission trading schemes and renewable support schemes. To simulate the bidding strategy and for profit maximization, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used. As above problem is a multi-objective optimization problem, Where, in the first level each Genco submit the bid to the independent system operator and in the next level a optimization method is used for the determination of optimal bidding with the implementation of emission trading schemes and renewable support schemes. It is assumed that each generator should submit bid as a price taker’s in sealed auction based on pay-as-bid market clearing price mechanism. The practicability of proposed optimization method is checked by an IEEE-30 bus test system consists of six suppliers.
