A novel approach for analog fault diagnosis based on neural networks and improved kernel PCA

We have developed a neural-network-based fault diagnosis approach of analog circuits using maximal class separability based kernel principal components analysis (MCSKPCA) as preprocessor. The proposed approach can detect and diagnose faulty components efficiently in the analog circuits by analyzing their time responses. First, using wavelet transform to preprocess the time responses obtains the essential and reduced candidate features of the corresponding response signals. Then, the second preprocessing by MCSKPCA further reduces the dimensionality of candidate features so as to obtain the optimal features with maximal class separability as inputs to the neural networks. This simplifies the architectures reasonably and reduces the computational burden of neural networks drastically. The simulation results show that our resulting diagnostic system can classify the faulty components of analog circuits under test effectively and achieves a competitive classification performance.     

An improved differential evolution algorithm for the task assignment problem

An improved differential evolution algorithm (IDE) is proposed to solve task assignment problem. The IDE is an improved version of differential evolution algorithm (DE), and it modifies two important parameters of DE algorithm: scale factor and crossover rate. Specially, scale factor is adaptively adjusted According to the objective function values of all candidate solutions, and crossover rate is dynamically adjusted with the increasement of iterations. The adaptive scale factor and dynamical crossover rate are combined to increase the diversity of candidate solutions, and to enhance the exploration capacity of solution space of the proposed algorithm. In addition, a usual penalty function method is adopted to trade-off the objective and the constraints. Experimental results demonstrate that the optimal solutions obtained by the IDE algorithm are all better than those obtained by the other two DE algorithms on solving some task assignment problems.     

Three-objective fuzzy chance-constrained programming model for multiproject and multi-item investment combination

This paper presents a new fuzzy chance-constrained programming model to find the solution for multiproject and multi-item investment combination in investment combination problems. The proposed 0-1 integer programming model has three objectives with fuzzy constraints, and NSGA-II is applied to solve the optimization model with a small modification of the constraint-handling rule. A simulation experiment illustrating the application of the proposed model is presented and Pareto-optimal solutions are obtained through a modified NSGA-II algorithm. A comparison among NSGA-II, PSO, and DE shows that modified NSGA-II has some advantages over PSO and DE.     

冷床区钢坯自动跟踪系统关键技术的研发

安钢中板厂的炉号跟踪系统中,冷金属检测器CMD用来检测冷床区钢坯的运动,但是CMD只能检测出辊道上是否有钢坯经过,而不能判断钢坯在冷床区具体上到哪个冷床,因此,目前冷床部分的钢坯跟踪是靠人工手动完成的.针对该问题,提出一种新的运用数字图像处理技术完成冷床区钢坯自动跟踪的方法.该方法利用运动目标检测方法检测出辊道上有钢坯运动,然后经过最佳阈值分割、改进的区域生长算法、质心标记、数据库程序等步骤完成钢坯运动轨迹的标记,实现自动跟踪.

Cooperation and profit allocation in two-echelon logistics joint distribution network optimization

Collaborative two-echelon logistics joint distribution network can be organized through a negotiation process via logistics service providers or participants existing in the logistics system, which can effectively reduce the crisscross transportation phenomenon and improve the efficiency of the urban freight transportation system. This study establishes a linear optimization model to minimize the total cost of two-echelon logistics joint distribution network. An improved ant colony optimization algorithm integrated with genetic algorithm is presented to serve customer clustering units and resolve the model formulation by assigning logistics facilities. A two-dimensional colony encoding method is adopted to generate the initial ant colonies. Improved ant colony optimization combines the merits of ant colony optimization algorithm and genetic algorithm with both global and local search capabilities. Finally, an improved Shapley value model based on cooperative game theory and a cooperative mechanism strategy are presented to obtain the optimal profit allocation scheme and sequential coalitions respectively in two-echelon logistics joint distribution network. An empirical study in Guiyang City, China, reveals that the improved ant colony optimization algorithm is superior to the other three methods in terms of the total cost. The improved Shapley value model and monotonic path selection strategy are applied to calculate the best sequential coalition selection strategy. The proposed cooperation and profit allocation approaches provide an effective paradigm for logistics companies to share benefit, achieve win–win situations through the horizontal cooperation, and improve the negotiation power for logistics network optimization.     

A cooperative negotiation embedded NSGA-II for solving an integrated product family and supply chain design problem with remanufacturing consideration

Product family design is a popular approach adopted by manufacturers to increase their product varieties in order to satisfy the needs of various markets. In recent years, because of increasing environmental concerns in societies and strict regulations of environmental protection, quite a number of manufacturers adopted remanufacturing strategy in their product development in response to the challenges. Remanufacturing of used products unavoidably involves a closed-loop supply chain system. To achieve the best outcomes, the supply chain design should be considered in product family design process. In this research, a multi-objective optimization model of integrated product family and closed loop supply chain design is formulated based on a cooperative game model for minimizing manufacturer’s total cost and maximize suppliers’ total payoffs. Since the optimization problem could be a large- scale one and involves mixed continuous-discrete variables, a new version of nondominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II), namely cooperative negotiation embedded NSGA-II (NSGA-CO), is proposed to solve the optimization model. Simulation tests are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed NSGA-CO. The test results indicate that the proposed NSGA-CO outperforms NSGA-II in solving various scale of multi-objective optimization problems in terms of convergence. With the formulated optimization model and the proposed NSGA-CO, a case study of integrated product family and supply chain design is conducted to investigate the effects of environmental penalty, quantity of demand and marginal cost of remanufacturing on used product return rate, manufacturers’ and suppliers’ profits and joint payoff.
