下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 Along with the applicability of optimization algorithms, there are lots of features that can affect the functioning of the optimization techniques. The main purpose of this paper is investigating the significance of boundary constraint handling (BCH) schemes on the performance of optimization algorithms. To this end, numbers of deterministic and probabilistic BCH approaches are applied to one of the most recent proposed optimization techniques, named interior search algorithm (ISA). Apart from the implementing different BCH methods, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to find an appropriate setting for the only parameter of ISA. Concrete cantilever retaining wall design as one of the most important geotechnical problems is tackled to declare proficiency of the ISA algorithm, on the one hand, and benchmark the effect of BCH schemes on the final results, on the contrary. As results demonstrate, various BCH approaches have a perceptible impact on the algorithm performance. In like manner, the essential parameter of ISA can also play a pivotal role in this algorithm's efficiency. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Slope stability optimization, in the presence of a band of a weak layer between two strong layers, is accounted for in complicated geotechnical problems. Classical optimization algorithms are not suitable for solving such problems as they need a proper preliminary solution to converge to a valid result. Therefore, it is necessary to find a proper algorithm which is capable of finding the best global solution. Recently a lot of metaheuristic algorithms have been proposed which are able to evade local minima effectively. In this study four evolutionary algorithms, including well‐known and recent ones, such as genetic algorithm, differential evolution, evolutionary strategy and biogeography‐based optimization (BBO), are applied in slope stability analysis and their efficiencies are explored by three benchmark case studies. Result show BBO is the most efficient among these evolutionary algorithms and other proposed algorithms applied to this problem. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The shift to building capacity and the loss of regional equilibrium may undermine service delivery and create a hardness issue for governmental and non-governmental organizations. Different countries follow different frameworks for regional equilibrium to evaluate the results of their actions. To achieve good regional equilibrium, we have performed a comparative analysis between the 10 existing frameworks and put 5 main criteria along with 60 sub-criteria in a checklist. We examined the method of measuring these components with the help of various indicators and to distribute weight between these indicators, we consulted experts. Finally, Iran is discussed with examples of direct indicators that may be used to measure the sub-criteria of each specific criterion. The quantification process is also shown by several specific representative indicators. For example, Mobile phones to the population, general practitioners per population, health and social employees to the population. Researchers, policy-makers, decision-makers, and decision takers, are those who can use the method studied in this study to assess the level of regional equilibrium in their country specifically and according to the environmental conditions and the current situation in the region.

Despite the widespread application of nonlinear mathematical models, comparative studies of different models are still a huge task for modellers. This is because a large number of trial and error processes are needed to develop each model, so the workload will be multiplied into an unmanageable level if many types of models are involved. This study presents an efficient approach by using the Gamma test (GT) to select the input variables and the training data length, so that the trial and error workload can be greatly reduced. The methodology is tested in estimating solar radiation at the Brue catchment, UK. Several nonlinear models have been developed efficiently with the aid of the GT, including local linear regression, multi-layer perceptron (MLP), Elman neural network, neural network auto-regressive model with exogenous inputs (NNARX) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). This work is only feasible within the time and resources constraint, due to the GT in reducing huge workload of the trial and error process. 相似文献

Although the Volterra models are non-parsimonious ones, they are being used because they can mimic dynamics of complex systems. However, applying and identification of the Volterra models using data may result in overfitting problem and uncertainty. In this investigation we evaluate capability of different wavelet forms for decomposing and compressing the Volterra kernels in order to overcome this problem by reducing the number of the model coefficients to be estimated and generating smooth kernels. A simulation study on a rainfall?runoff process over the Cache River watershed showed that the method performance is successful due to multi-resolution capacity of the wavelet analysis and high capability of the Volterra model. The results also revealed that db2 and sym2 wavelets have the same high potential in improving the linear Volterra model performance. However, QS wavelet was more successful in yielding smooth kernels. Moreover, the probability of overfitting while identifying the nonlinear Volterra model may be less than the linear model. 相似文献

The network-based approach to kinematic GPS positioning significantly increases the distance, over which carrier-phase ambiguity
resolution can be performed. This can be achieved either by introducing geometric conditions based on the fixed reference
locations, and/or through the use of reference network data to estimate the corrections to GPS observations that can be broadcast
to the users. The Multi Purpose GPS Processing Software (MPGPS) developed at The Ohio State University uses the multiple reference
station approach for wide area and regional differential kinematic GPS positioning. The primary processing algorithm uses
the weighted free-net (WFN) approach with the distance-dependent weighting scheme to derive optimal estimates of the user
coordinates and realistic accuracy measures. The WFN approach, combined with the single epoch (instantaneous) ambiguity resolution
algorithm is presented here as one approach to real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS. Since for baselines exceeding ~100 km, the instantaneous
ambiguity resolution may not always be possible due to the increasing observation noise and insufficient number of observations
to verify the integer selection, an alternative approach, based on a single- (or multiple-) baseline solution, supported by
a double-difference (DD) ionospheric delay propagated from the previous epoch is also presented. In this approach, some data
accumulation, supported by the network-derived atmospheric corrections, is required at the beginning of the rover data processing
to obtain the integer ambiguities; after this initialization period, the processing switches to the instantaneous RTK positioning
mode. This paper presents a discussion on the effects of the network geometry, station separation and the data reduction technique
on the final quality and reliability of the rover positioning solution. A 24-h data set of August 31, 2003, collected by the
Ohio Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) network was processed by both techniques under different network geometry
and reference station separation. Various solutions, such as (1) single-baseline solution for varying base-rover separation,
(2) multi-baseline solution with medium-range base separation (over 100 km), and (3) multi-baseline solution with long-range
base separation (up to 377 km), were obtained and compared for accuracy and consistency. The horizontal positioning accuracy
achieved in these tests, expressed as the difference between the estimated coordinates and the known rover coordinates, is
at the sub-decimeter level for the first approach, and at the centimeter-level for the second method, for baselines over 100 km.
In the vertical coordinate, decimeter- and sub-decimeter levels were achieved for the two approaches, respectively. Even though
all the results presented here were obtained in post-processing, both algorithms are suitable for real-time applications. 相似文献

AbstractBy application of the limit equilibrium method associated with Coulomb failure mechanism, the effect of variation of undrained shear strength with depth on seismic bearing capacity was evaluated. The approach followed in this study to take into account seismic forces is pseudo-static. It is also assumed that the occurrence of an earthquake does not have any effects on the values of soil cohesion. Two different marine soil deposits exhibiting linear and bilinear variations of undrained shear strength with depth were considered. The undrained bearing capacity factor has been computed as a function of dimensionless parameters of λ1B/c0, λ2B/c0, and Zt/B. The results of this paper have been compared with solutions reported in the literature, and the consistency of the results confirmed the ability of Coulomb failure mechanism and its corresponding limit equilibrium method formulation in static condition. Furthermore, the pseudo-static bearing capacity of shallow foundations on heterogeneous marine deposit is addressed. Finally the results of this study presented in the form of table and design charts. 相似文献
