Abstract:
Based on the fuzzy theory and an idea of multidisciplinary design optimization, a fuzzy optimization model of multidisciplinary design is established. Fuzzy constraints are changed by a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation and an amplification-coefficient method. Using collaborative optimization and genetic algorithms, the multidisciplinary fuzzy optimum of planar linkage mechanism is achieved and a four-bar mechanism is given as an example. Two disciplines are involved in the design optimization of mechanism, i.e., kinematics and control. The numerical results indicate that the optimized mechanism not only satisfies the mechanism and control constraints, but also synthesizes approximate optimum value, and lays a foundation for the solution of more complex mechanical system.

Abstract:
AbstractAn integrated analytical method based on multidisciplinary optimization software Isight and general finite element software ANSYS was proposed in this paper. Firstly, a two-disk rotor system was established and the mode, humorous response and transient response at acceleration condition were analyzed with ANSYS. The dynamic characteristics of the two-disk rotor system were achieved. On this basis, the two-disk rotor model was integrated to the multidisciplinary design optimization software Isight. According to the design of experiment (DOE) and the dynamic characteristics, the optimization variables, optimization objectives and constraints were confirmed. After that, the multi-objective design optimization of the transient process was carried out with three different global optimization algorithms including Evolutionary Optimization Algorithm, Multi-Island Genetic Algorithm and Pointer Automatic Optimizer. The optimum position of the two-disk rotor system was obtained at the specified constraints. Meanwhile, the accuracy and calculation numbers of different optimization algorithms were compared. The optimization results indicated that the rotor vibration reached the minimum value and the design efficiency and quality were improved by the multidisciplinary design optimization in the case of meeting the design requirements, which provided the reference to improve the design efficiency and reliability of the aero-engine rotor.

Abstract:
Purpose – For complex engineering problems, multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) techniques use some disciplines that need to be run several times in different modules. In addition, mathematical modeling of a discipline can be improved for each module. The purpose of this paper is to show that multi-modular design optimization (MMO) improves the design performances in comparison with MDO technique for complex systems. Design/methodology/approach – MDO framework and MMO framework are developed to optimum design of a complex system. The nonlinear equality and inequality constrains are considered. The system optimizers included Genetic Algorithm and Sequential Quadratic Programming. Findings – As shown, fewer design variables (optimization variables) are needed at the system level for MMO. Unshared variables are optimized in the related module when shared variables are optimized at the system level. The results of this research show that MMO has lower elapsed times (14 percent) with lower F-count (16 percent). Practical implications – The monopropellant propulsion upper-stage is selected as a case study. In this paper, the efficient model of the monopropellant propulsion system is proposed. According to the results, the proposed model has acceptable accuracy in mass model (error < 2 percent), performance estimation (error < 6 percent) and geometry estimation (error < 10 percent). Originality/value – The monopropellant propulsion system is broken down into the three important modules including propellant tank (tank and propellant), pressurized feeding (tank and gas) and thruster (catalyst, nozzle and catalysts bed) when chemical decomposition, aerothermodynamics, mass and configuration, catalyst and structure have been considered as the disciplines. The both MMO and MDO frameworks are developed for the monopropellant propulsion system.

Abstract:
This paper studies an optimized container loading problem with the goal of maximizing the 3D space utilization. Based on the characteristics of the mathematical loading model, we develop a dedicated placement heuristic integrated with a novel dynamic space division method, which enables the design of the adaptive genetic algorithm in order to maximize the loading space utilization. We use both weakly and strongly heterogeneous loading data to test the proposed algorithm. By choosing 15 classic sets of test data given by Loh and Nee as weakly heterogeneous data, the average space utilization of our algorithm reaching 70.62% outperforms those of 13 algorithms from the related literature. Taking a set of test data given by George and Robinson as strongly heterogeneous data, the space utilization in this paper can be improved by 4.42% in comparison with their heuristic algorithm.

Abstract:
This article presents a method for multidisciplinary design optimization of a one-stage gear train transmission for an industrial application. The formulation and implementation that enable the integrated design of the gearbox elements (gears, shafts, and bearings) are detailed. The analytical formulation problem is based on four disciplines: product reliability, customer preference, product cost, and structure. The proposed integrated design process takes into account constraints imposed by quality standards. The optimization of the gear train transmission is performed according to a multidisciplinary feasible architecture and uses a population-based evolutionary algorithm (non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II) to generate Pareto-optimal fronts. Finally, a detailed case study is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Abstract:
For the application of the standard genetic algorithm in illustration art design, there are still problems such as low search efficiency and high complexity. This paper proposes an illustration art design model based on operator and clustering optimization genetic algorithm. First, during the operation of the genetic algorithm, the values of the crossover probability and the mutation probability are dynamically adjusted according to the characteristics of the population to improve the search efficiency of the algorithm, then the k-medoids algorithm is introduced to optimize the clustering of the genetic algorithm, and a cost function is used to carry out and evaluate the quality of clustering to optimize the complexity of the original algorithm. In addition, a multiobjective optimization genetic algorithm with complex constraints based on group classification is proposed. This algorithm focuses on the problem of group diversity and uses k-means cluster analysis operation to solve the problem of group diversity. The algorithm divides the entire group into four subgroups and assigns appropriate fitness values to reflect the optimal preservation strategy. A large number of computer simulation calculations show that the algorithm can obtain a widely distributed and uniform Pareto optimal solution, the evolution speed is fast, usually only a few iterations can achieve a good optimization effect, and finally the improved genetic algorithm is used to design the random illustration art. The example simulation shows that the improved algorithm proposed in this paper can achieve higher artistic and innovative illustration art design.

Abstract:
The feasibility design method with multidisciplinary and multiobjective optimization is applied in the research of lightweight design and NVH performances of crankshaft in high-power marine reciprocating compressor. Opt-LHD is explored to obtain the experimental scheme and perform data sampling. The elliptical basis function neural network (EBFNN) model considering modal frequency, static strength, torsional vibration angular displacement, and lightweight design of crankshaft is built. Deterministic optimization and reliability optimization for lightweight design of crankshaft are operated separately. Multi-island genetic algorithm (MIGA) combined with multidisciplinary cooptimization method is used to carry out the multiobjective optimization of crankshaft structure. Pareto optimal set is obtained. Optimization results demonstrate that the reliability optimization which considers the uncertainties of production process can ensure product stability compared with deterministic optimization. The coupling and decoupling of structure mechanical properties, NVH, and lightweight design are considered during the multiobjective optimization of crankshaft structure. Designers can choose the optimization results according to their demands, which means the production development cycle and the costs can be significantly reduced.

Casting process optimization usually includes modifying the mold structure, regulating the pouring temperature, changing pouring time, etc., which involves the mold structure optimization, but also involves optimization of temperature field. In order to get a better process conditions, it will generally make multiple simulation test under the different processes conditions. Many parameters should be set in each simulation test. In order to make casting engineers get liberation from a lot of repetitive work, multidisciplinary design optimization technology is firstly brought into the field of casting, successfully achieved ProCAST integrated into iSIGHT.

Compared to the verification result of the corresponding simulation, the relative error of the global optimal solution is 0.47%. The result of optimization is ensure average shrinkage rate of casting a smaller value when technological yield of the casting from 54.6% of the existing production case up to 61.1%.

Abstract:
A multidisciplinary design optimization framework is proposed for sandwich-structured radomes. Radomes ensure the functional operation of antenna systems in adverse environment catering for aerodynamic stresses and payload requirements. The existence of radomes can partially degrade the electromagnetic performance of antenna systems. The electromagnetic performance and mechanical responses are taken into account simultaneously in the optimization design. This is more time-saving and economical compared to the traditional separate considerations on these two aspects. Coupled with multi-island genetic algorithm, transmission coefficient and boresight error are identified as the objectives. Lateral deformation, material failure, and structural stability are included in mechanical analysis. Three-dimensional ray-tracing technique and physical optics based aperture integration method are employed to address interactions between the antenna and radome. Tsai–Wu and maximum stress criteria are used to predict material failure. Structural stability is analyzed using the linear perturbation of stiffness matrices. The applicability of the electromagnetic model is validated using examples of a hemispheric air and single-layered radome. A numerical experiment is conducted to investigate the utility and feasibility of the multidisciplinary design optimization model. Results show that the optimal section profile brings about considerable improvement in transmission coefficient and boresight error. Mechanical constrains are reasonably subjected to the preset limits. Hence, the proposed multidisciplinary design optimization model is an effective and feasible alternative in the environment of radome design.

The LV design variables and the trajectory profile variables were optimized simultaneously, while a depleted shutdown condition was considered for every stage, avoiding the necessity of a thrust termination device, resulting in reduced gross launch mass of the LV.

Abstract:
Purpose The capability to predict and evaluate various configurations’ performance during the conceptual design phase using multidisciplinary design analysis and optimization can significantly increase the preliminary design process’s efficiency and reduce design and development costs. This research paper aims to perform multidisciplinary design and optimization for an expendable microsatellite launch vehicle (MSLV) comprising three solid-propellant stages, capable of delivering micro-payloads in the low earth orbit. The methodology’s primary purpose is to increase the conceptual and preliminary design process’s efficiency by reducing both the design and development costs. Design/methodology/approach Multidiscipline feasible architecture is applied for the multidisciplinary design and optimization of an expendable MSLV at the conceptual level to accommodate interdisciplinary interactions during the optimization process. The multidisciplinary design and optimization framework developed and implemented in this research effort encompasses coupled analysis disciplines of vehicle geometry, mass calculations, aerodynamics, propulsion and trajectory. Nineteen design variables were selected to optimize expendable MSLV to launch a 100 kg satellite at an altitude of 600 km in the low earth orbit. Modern heuristic optimization methods such as genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and SA are applied and compared to obtain the optimal configurations. The initial population is created by passing the upper and lower bounds of design variables to the optimizer. The optimizer then searches for the best possible combination of design variables to obtain the objective function while satisfying the constraints. Findings All of the applied heuristic methods were able to optimize the design problem. Optimized design variables from these methods lie within the lower and upper bounds. This research successfully achieves the desired altitude and final injection velocity while satisfying all the constraints. In this research effort, multiple runs of heuristic algorithms reduce the fundamental stochastic error. Research limitations/implications The use of multiple heuristics optimization methods such as GA, PSO and SA in the conceptual design phase owing to the exclusivity of their search approach provides a unique opportunity for exploration of the feasible design space and helps in obtaining alternative configurations capable of meeting the mission objectives, which is not possible when using any of the single optimization algorithm. Practical implications The optimized configurations can be further used as baseline configurations in the microsatellite launch missions’ conceptual and preliminary design phases. Originality/value Satellite launch vehicle design and optimization is a complex multidisciplinary problem, and it is dealt with effectively in the multidisciplinary design and optimization domain. It integrates several interlinked disciplines and gives the optimum result that satisfies these disciplines’ requirements. This research effort provides the multidisciplinary design and optimization-based simulation framework to predict and evaluate various expendable satellite launch vehicle configurations’ performance. This framework significantly increases the conceptual and preliminary design process’s efficiency by reducing design and development costs.

Abstract:
This paper proposes an integrated design and optimization approach for radial inflow turbines consisting of an automated preliminary design module and a flexible three-dimensional multidisciplinary optimization module. The latter was constructed by an evolution algorithm, a genetic algorithm-assisted self-learning artificial neural network and a dynamic sampling database. The 3-D multidisciplinary optimization approach was validated by the original T-100 turbine and the T-100re turbine obtained from the automated preliminary design approach, for maximizing the total-to-static efficiency and minimizing the rotor weight while keeping the mass flow rate constant and stress limitation satisfied. The validation results indicate that the total-to-static efficiency is 89.6%, increased by 1.3%, and the rotor weight is reduced by 0.14 kg (14.6%) based on the T-100re turbine, while the efficiency is 88.2%, increased by 2.2% and the weight is reduced by 0.49 kg (37.4%) based on the original T-100 turbine. Moreover, the T-100re turbine shows better performance at the preliminary design stage and conserves this advantage to the end, though both the aerodynamic performance of the T-100 and the T-100re turbine are improved after 3-D optimization. At the same time, it is implied that the preliminary design plays an essential role in the radial inflow turbine design process, and it is hard for only 3-D optimization to get a further performance improvement.

Full text
Abstract:
Monopropellant propulsion systems are widely used especially for low cost attitude control or orbit correction (orbit maintenance). To optimize the total propulsion system, subsystems should be optimized. Chemical decomposition, aerothermodynamics, and structure disciplines demand different optimum condition such as tank pressure, catalyst bed length and diameter, catalyst bed pressure, and nozzle geometry. Subsystem conflicts can be solved by multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) technique with simultaneous optimization of all subsystems with respect to any criteria and limitations. In this paper, monopropellant propulsion system design algorithm is presented and the results of the proposed algorithm are validated. Then, multidisciplinary design optimization of hydrazine propulsion system is proposed. The goal of optimization can be selected as minimizing the total mass (including propellant), minimizing the propellant mass (maximizing the Isp), or minimizing the dry mass. Minimum total mass, minimum propellant mass, and minimum dry mass are derived using MDO technique. It is shown that minimum total mass, minimum dry mass, and minimum propellant mass take place in different conditions. The optimum parameters include bed-loading, inlet pressure, mass flow, nozzle geometry, catalyst bed length and diameter, propellant tank mass, specific impulse (Isp), and feeding mass which are derived using genetic algorithm (GA).

Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) is an algorithm widely used in the engineering field currently. However, traditional MDO often leads to the failure of convergence or local optimum problems caused by convergence. In such cases, a multidisciplinary design optimization based on genetic algorithm (GA) and artificial neural networks (ANN) (GA-ANN-MDO) is presented in the paper. Under the thought of parallel distribution of traditional MDO, the real sub-disciplinary model is replaced by a highly precise ANN model dependent on the Latin Hypercube experimental design method in the GA-ANN-MDO, so as to reduce the computational cost and smooth the value noise. The GA optimization system level is applied to decline the possibility of partial solution involved in the optimization. As shown from the optimization results of two classic mathematical examples, GA-ANN-MDO is presented good robustness, which could quickly and effectively converge to the global optimal solution. In addition, a project example was employed finally to verify the feasibility of GA-ANN-MDO in the engineering.

Abstract:
The design of space systems is a complex and multidisciplinary process. In this study, two deterministic and nondeterministic approaches are applied to the system design optimization of a spacecraft which is actually a small satellite in low Earth orbit with remote sensing mission. These approaches were then evaluated and compared. Different disciplines such as mission analysis, payload, electrical power supply, mass model, and launch manifest were properly combined for further use. Furthermore, genetic algorithm and sequential quadratic programming were employed as the system-level and local-level optimizers. The main optimization objective of this study is to minimize the resolution of the satellite imaging payload while there are several constraints. A probabilistic analysis was performed to compare the results of the deterministic and nondeterministic approaches. Analysis of the results showed that the deterministic approaches may lead to an unreliable design (because of leaving little or no room for uncertainties), while using the reliability-based multidisciplinary design optimization architecture, all probabilistic constraints were satisfied.

Abstract:
Complex engineering studies typically involve hundreds of analysis routines and thousands of variables. The sequence of operations used to evaluate a design strongly affects the speed of each analysis cycle. This influence is particularly important when numerical optimization is used, because convergence generally requires many iterations. Moreover, it is common for disciplinary teams to work simultaneously on different aspects of a complex design. This practice requires decomposition of the analysis into subtasks, and the efficiency of the design process critically depends on the quality of the decomposition achieved. This paper describes the development of software to plan multidisciplinary design studies. A genetic algorithm is used, both to arrange analysis subroutines for efficient execution, and to decompose the task into subproblems. The new planning tool is compared with an existing heuristic method. It produces superior results when the same merit function is used, and it can readily address a wider range of planning objectives.

Abstract:
A new method for solving the multidisciplinary design optimization problems with a minimal computational effort is presented. The proposed methodology is based on the combination of artificial neural network model and Improved Multi-Objective Collaborative Optimization. In the artificial neural network–Improved Multi-Objective Collaborative Optimization scheme, the back-propagation algorithm is used for training the artificial neural network metamodel and the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II is used to search a Pareto optimality set for the objective functions of stiffened panels. The artificial neural network–Improved Multi-Objective Collaborative Optimization algorithm aims firstly to decompose the global optimization problem hierarchically into optimization design problem at system level and several sub-problems at sub-system level and secondly to replace each optimization problem at the system and subsystem levels by artificial neural network model to limit the computational cost. To highlight the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed artificial neural network–Improved Multi-Objective Collaborative Optimization method, mathematical and engineering examples are presented. Results obtained from the application of the artificial neural network–Improved Multi-Objective Collaborative Optimization approach to an optimization problem of a stiffened panel are compared with those obtained by traditional optimization without using prediction tools. The new method (artificial neural network–Improved Multi-Objective Collaborative Optimization) was proven to be superior to traditional optimization. These results have confirmed the efficiency and effectiveness of the artificial neural network–Improved Multi-Objective Collaborative Optimization method. In addition, it converges at faster rate than traditional optimization. The traditional optimization method converges within 7918 s, while artificial neural network–Improved Multi-Objective Collaborative Optimization requires only 42 s, clearly, the artificial neural network–Improved Multi-Objective Collaborative Optimization method is much more efficient.

Abstract:
Reliability design is one important link to assure the product’s quality. Reliability allocation is the main task of reliability design, which is influenced by cost, manufacturing consistency, and other factors. Reliability, cost, and manufacturing consistency are coupled and influenced by each other. To find the global optimal reliability indices, one modeling and solving method of reliability allocation based on multidisciplinary design optimization was proposed in the paper. The influence factors of reliability allocation were analyzed and calculated or fuzzy processed. The reliability allocation optimization models were created, and the models were decomposed by the calculation frame of collaborative optimization. The genetic algorithm of the system-level optimization and the sequential quadratic programming algorithm of the disciplinary-level optimization were adopted. As one typical electromechanical equipment, CNC cylindrical grinder was allocated of reliability by the method proposed in the paper. The results showed that the cost can be dropped 3.45%, 4.76%, 4.72%, and 8.45% compared by equal allocation method, fuzzy allocation method, AGREE allocation method, and actual cost, respectively. The reliability allocation method proposed in the article can be used in design of electromechanical equipment to reduce costs.

Abstract:
Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques are ideal for producing customized products due to their high design flexibility. Despite the previous studies on specific additive manufactured customized products such as biomedical implants and prostheses, the simultaneous optimization of components, materials, AM processes, and dimensions remains a challenge. Multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) is a research area of solving complex design problems involving multiple disciplines which usually interact with each other. The objective of this research is to formulate and solve an MDO problem in the development of additive manufactured products customized for various customers in different market segments. Three disciplines, i.e. the customer preference modeling, AM production costing, and structural mechanics are incorporated in the MDO problem. The optimal selections of components, materials, AM processes, and dimensional parameters are searched with the objectives to maximize the functionality utility, match individual customers' personal performance requirements, and minimize the total cost. A multi-objective genetic algorithm with the proposed chromosome encoding pattern is applied to solve the MDO problem. A case study of designing customized trans-tibial prostheses with additive manufactured components is presented to illustrate the proposed MDO method. Clusters of multi-dimensional Pareto-optimal design solutions are obtained from the MDO, showing trade-offs among the objectives. Appropriate design decision can be chosen from the clusters based on the manufacturer's market strategy. Highlights An optimization problem for additive manufactured customized products is solved. Three disciplines are incorporated in multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO). The selection of component, material, additive manufacturing process and dimensions are optimized. A multiobjective genetic algorithm is applied to solve the MDO problem. Pareto-optimal solutions with different utilities and costs are obtained.

Abstract:
Ship design is a complex engineering effort required excellent coordination between the various disciplines and essentially applies iteration to satisfy the relevant requirements, such as stability, power, weight, and strengths. Through, all-in-one Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) approach is proposed to get the optimum performance of the ship considering three disciplines, power of propulsion, ship loads and structure. In this research a Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) is employed to improve the space filling property of the design and explore it to sample data for covering the design space. To avoid the problem of huge calculation time and saving the develop time, a quadratic Response Surface Method (RSM) is adopted as an approximation model to study the relation between a set of design variables and the system output for solving the system design problems. A genetic algorithm (GA) is adopted as search technique used in computing to find exact or approximate solutions to optimize and search problems and appropriate design result in MDO in ship design. Finally, the validity of the proposed approach is proven by a case study of a bulk carrier.

Abstract:
The train-set circulation plan problem (TCPP) belongs to the rolling stock scheduling (RSS) problem and is similar to the aircraft routing problem (ARP) in airline operations and the vehicle routing problem (VRP) in the logistics field. However, TCPP involves additional complexity due to the maintenance constraint of train-sets: train-sets must conduct maintenance tasks after running for a certain time and distance. The TCPP is nondeterministic polynomial hard (NP-hard). There is no available algorithm that can obtain the optimal global solution, and many factors such as the utilization mode and the maintenance mode impact the solution of the TCPP. This paper proposes a train-set circulation optimization model to minimize the total connection time and maintenance costs and describes the design of an efficient multiple-population genetic algorithm (MPGA) to solve this model. A realistic high-speed railway (HSR) case is selected to verify our model and algorithm, and, then, a comparison of different algorithms is carried out. Furthermore, a new maintenance mode is proposed, and related implementation requirements are discussed.

Abstract:
Tool geometric parameters have a huge impact on tool wear. Up to now, there are only a few researches on tool geometric parameters and optimization, and the single objective function of parameter optimization used by researchers during high-speed machining (HSM) mainly is the minimum cutting force. However, the elevated cutting temperature also greatly affects tool wear due to the numerous cutting heat generation. Thus, to reduce tool wear, it is the most fundamental approach to taking into account the comprehensive control of the cutting force and cutting temperature because they are the two most important physical quantities in metal cutting processes. This work proposes a new optimization idea of the cutting-tool’s multi geometric parameters (three main parameters: rake angle, clearance angle, and cutting edge radius) with two objective functions (the cutting force and the temperature). Based on the response surface method (RSM), we have established the modified functional relation models of the influence of tool geometric parameters on the cutting force and temperature according to the finite element simulation results in high-speed cutting of Ti6Al4V. Then the models are solved by using a genetic algorithm, and the optimal tool geometric parameters values that can concurrently control the two objectives in their minimum values are obtained. The advantages lie in the strategy of the separate models of the cutting force and cutting temperature owing to their different dimensions and the solution of the models through giving the cutting force and cutting temperature different weight coefficients. The optimal results are verified by experiments, which shows that the optimal tool geometric parameters are very effective and vital for ensuring both the cutting force and the cutting temperature not too high. This work is of great significance to the cutting tool design theory and its manufacturing for reducing tool wear.

Furthermore, multidisciplinary feasible method (MDF) was used to optimize the same problem. NLPQL, ASA, MIGA were respectively selected as the search strategy of MDF system-level optimizer. The optimization result of CO was compared to the optimization result of MDF shows that using CO can get the result which close to the optimal result.

Abstract:
The current optimization research on the connectors of prefabricated barriers uses experimental comparisons only and lacks theoretically based optimization methods as guidance. The primary objective of this study was to propose an efficient optimization approach to the connector design of prefabricated bridge barriers. This paper presents an efficient two-stage optimization approach to the connector design of prefabricated bridge barriers. In the first stage, the hybrid cellular automaton algorithm is used to perform dynamic topology optimization on the connector, and the best material distribution in the design domain is obtained. In the second stage, a kriging metamodel and genetic algorithm are combined to further optimize the size of the connector structure. With a prefabricated bridge as the engineering background, finite element models of a barrier system under impact load caused by a car crash were established. The above approach is utilized to optimize the design of the barrier connector. Results showed that the optimized connector structure greatly improved the overall performance of the barrier system while reducing the material consumption and costs. The proposed optimization approach can determine the optimal material distribution and size of the connector structure, thus providing guiding significance for the design and construction of connectors of prefabricated components.

Abstract:
Agile Earth observation can be achieved with responsiveness in satellite launches, sensor pointing, or orbit reconfiguration. This study presents a framework for designing reconfigurable satellite constellations capable of both regular Earth observation and disaster monitoring. These observation modes are termed global observation mode and regional observation mode, constituting a reconfigurable satellite constellation (ReCon). Systems engineering approaches are employed to formulate this multidisciplinary problem of co-optimizing satellite design and orbits. Two heuristic methods, simulated annealing (SA) and genetic algorithm (GA), are widely used for discrete combinatorial problems and therefore used in this study to benchmark against a gradient-based method. Point-based SA performed similar or slightly better than the gradient-based method, whereas population-based GA outperformed the other two. The resultant ReCon satellite design is physically feasible and offers performance-to-cost(mass) superior to static constellations. Ongoing research on observation scheduling and constellation management will extend the ReCon applications to radar imaging and radio occultation beyond visible wavelengths and nearby spectrums.

Abstract:
The energy requirements of a solar-powered exploration rover constrain the mission duration, traversability, and tractive capability under the given limited usable power. Thus, exploration rover design, more specifically, rover wheel design (related to considerable energy consumption in driving), plays a significant role in the success of exploration missions. This paper describes the modeling of an operational environment and a multi-body dynamics (MBD) simulation tool based on wheel-terrain interaction model to predict the dynamic behavior on a digital elevation model (DEM) map. With these simulation environments, a multidisciplinary optimal wheel design methodology, integrating the MBD simulation tool and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II), is developed. Design parameters are chosen through sensitivity analysis. These multi-objective optimizations in dynamic states are conducted to obtain the optimal wheel dimension that meet the limited power condition with maximal tractive capability under the given operational environment. Furthermore, numerical and experimental verification using a single wheel testbed on lunar simulant are conducted to convincingly validate the derived optimization results. Finally, these results reveal that the proposed design methodology is an effective approach to deciding the best design parameter among a large variety of candidate design points considering the restricted power requirement.

Abstract:
The multidisciplinary design optimization is suitable for modern large aircraft, and it has the potential in conceptual phase of aircraft design especially. An integrated optimization method considering the disciplines of aerodynamics, structure and stability for large aircraft design in conceptual phase is presented. The objective is the minimum stiffness of a beam-frame wing structure subject to aeroelasticity, aerodynamics, and stability constraints. The aeroelastic responses are computed by commercial software MSC. Nastran, and the cruise stability is evaluated by the linear small-disturbance equations. A viscous-inviscid iteration method, which is composed of a computational fluid dynamics tool solving the Euler equations and a viscous correction method, is used for computing the flow over the model. The method ensures effective and rapid computation. In this paper, a complete aircraft model is optimized, and all the responses are computed in the trim condition with a fixed maximum takeoff weight. Genetic algorithm is utilized for global optimizations, and the optimal jig shape, the elastic axis positions and the stiffness distribution can be attained adequately. The results show that the method has a value of application in engineering optimizations. For the satisfaction of the total drag and stability constraints, the structure weight usually needs a price to pay. The integrated optimization captures the tradeoff between aerodynamics, structure and stability, and the repeated design can be avoided.

Abstract:
Based on the problem of e-commerce logistics and distribution network optimization, this paper summarizes the solution ideas and solutions proposed by domestic and foreign scholars and designs a method to optimize the B2C e-commerce logistics and distribution network by taking into account the special traffic conditions in the city. The logistics network optimization model is established and solved by combining various methods. Taking into account the new target requirements constantly proposed in the modern logistics environment, the vehicle path problem under the generalized objective function is studied, and the multidimensional impact maximization problem in this type of problem is proposed and modeled. The problem follows from the path planning for emergency material delivery. Given locations, roads, and multiple classes of supplies in a map, each road allows vehicles to deliver each class of supplies with a certain probability. The goal of the problem is how to select a finite number of locations in the map as centers of supplies so that the number of locations that can be effectively covered by vehicle paths from them is maximized with the desired probability. For the first time, we used a hybrid genetic algorithm to optimize the e-commerce logistics path, and the optimized results are more reasonable than other algorithms.
