It studies the isolation vibration of the engine mounting system and conducts goal optimization for fixed frequency. This paper uses two methods for optimization. One is to use the rational allocation of fixed frequency to optimize the fixed frequency, and the other is to use energy decoupling method to optimize the fixed frequency. It uses Adams software for simulation of the optimized fixed frequency and conducts comparison of simulated results. The simulated results show that the optimized energy distribution situation almost achieves 90%. Compared with original data, decoupling degree also has a very great improvement, illustrating that the optimized data has greater effect for the isolated vibration of engine, in order to further verify the feasibility of optimization design method.展开更多

Firstly, the effect of roll shifting strategy on wear contour was investigated by mtmerical simulation, and two evaluation indexes including edge smoothness and body smoothness of wear contours were introduced. Secondly, the edge smoothness average and body smoothness average of all the strips in a rolling campaign were selected as objective functions, and shifting control parameters as decision variables, the multi-objective method of MODE/D as the optimizer, and then a simulation-based multi-objective optimization model for roll shifting strategy was built. The experimental result shows that MODE/D can obtain a good Pareto-optimal front, which suggests a series of alternative solutions to roll shifting strategy. Moreover, the conflicting relationship between two objectives can also be found, which indicates another advantage of multi-objective optimization. Finally, industrial test confirms the feasibility of the multi-objective approach for roll shifting strategy, and it can improve strip profile and extend same width rolling miles of a rolling campaign from 35 km to 70 km.展开更多

It is eas- according to specific geological conditions in different tunnel sections, which makes the construction scheduling and management difficult. Based on the rock mass classification, this paper estimates the penetration rate. Using the rate, a cyclic network simulation （CYCLONE） model of TBM boring system is established, and the advance rates under different geological conditions are determined. Then, the impact of different cutter head thrust, which is chosen in reasonable range according to previous experiences, on pro- ject schedule is analyzed. Moreover, the simulation model of mucking system is built to determine the number of muck trains and rail intersections reasonably, regarding the efficiency of muck loading and material transporting. Based on the interaction and interrelation between TBM boring system and mucking system, the combined CY- CLONE model for the entire tunneling process is established. Then reasonable construction schedule, the utilization rate of working resources, and the probability of project completion are obtained through the model programming. At last, a project application shows the feasibility of the presented method.展开更多

A simulation model is developed, gathering all the external and internal climatic conditions that influence the microclimate of the greenhouse to predict the temporal evolution of the state variables characterizing this microclimate. The fuzzy control is an alternative to the approaches proposed by the automatic for the control of complex systems. The performance objectives of the looped systems and the corresponding actions are summarized in the form of rules of expertise, which are spelled out in plain language. This technique thus makes it possible to dispense with the use of mathematical models which are sometimes difficult to obtain. Our objective is the multivariable strategy synthesis and the fuzzy application to a multivariate system （MIMO ~ such as the agricultural greenhouse.） First, the principles of fuzzy logic and fuzzy control are recalled. The origins of non-Linearitys of the command are explained. One of the practical problems of this technique is the combinatorial explosion of the rule base when the number of variables involved becomes large. A solution to simplify the complexity of the system is presented together with an optimization algorithm to automatically adjust the parameters of the fuzzy controller. The last part is devoted to the synthesis of an optimal control of the greenhouse in order to compare it to the fuzzy control implemented.展开更多

Fatigue crack initiation criteria for elastic shakedown, plastic shakedown and ratcheting material responses are applied to assess wheels responses with two sets of axial line deflection. The finite element simulations are performed by using the bilinear material mode for nonlinear and kinematic hardening in ANSYS 11.0. By comparing the results from different critera, it is showed that the low-cycle fatigue is the predominated failure. Results from different axial line deflections indicate that the optimum adjustment can greatly enhance the whole life of the supporting structure.展开更多

A very important component of the system is the user with his ability to adapt to changing conditions in his surrounding and with his possibilities to manipulate the window, the shading system, the light switch etc. All these aspects interact together. It is necessary to optimize them simultaneously. But real planning often separates them into single sections. Simulation tools also handle normally only one or a few aspects, we know for example the thermal simulation or the daylight simulation. Primero-Comfort （2009） is a simulation tool based on energy＋, what is able to consider thermal simulation as well as daylight simulation as well as user behaviour in regard to the probability of window openings. The resulting thermal comfort is rated by an adaptive comfort model, the Dutch ISSO 74 （2004）. This allows designing office rooms more realistic. And it shows that an optimized solution has to include the interactions of aU mentioned aspects. Investigations with Primero-Comfort for a moderate European climate （Hamburg） show that a very good comfort can be reached only by passive means of building design also for hot summer weather just like the summer in the year 2003. The keys for such hot-summer-robust-buildings are night ventilation with height difference, heat protection glazing and good shading system, reduced internal heat gains for artificial light by accepting a threshold of 300 lx of daylight as comfortable and a reduced window size oriented on daylighting and the view out of the window.展开更多

Instead of helping to reduce the system losses, it also improves the quality of the overall system network. However, improper allocation and sizing of its interconnection to the system could oppositely change those advantages. The total system may experience higher losses and instability. In this paper, a new technique to determine the optimal allocation of EG in distribution system by using Genetic Algorithm （GA） technique is proposed. The effectiveness of the technique is demonstrated using IEEE-69 bus distribution test system and simulated in MATLAB.展开更多
