A surrogate-based optimization method with RBF neural network enhanced by linear interpolation and hybrid infill strategy

In engineering, it is computationally prohibitive to directly employ costly models in optimization. Therefore, surrogate-based optimization is developed to replace the accurate models with cheap surrogates during optimization for efficiency. The two key issues of surrogate-based optimization are how to improve the surrogate accuracy by making the most of the available training samples, and how to sequentially augment the training set with certain infill strategy so as to gradually improve the surrogate accuracy and guarantee the convergence to the real global optimum of the accurate model. To address these two issues, a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) based optimization method is proposed in this paper. First, a linear interpolation (LI) based RBFNN modelling method, LI-RBFNN, is developed, which can enhance the RBFNN accuracy by enforcing the gradient match between the surrogate and the trend observed from the training samples. Second, a hybrid infill strategy is proposed, which uses the surrogate prediction error based surrogate lower bound as the optimization objective to locate the promising region and meanwhile employs a linear interpolation-based sequential sampling approach to improve the surrogate accuracy globally. Finally, extensive tests are investigated and the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed methods are demonstrated.     

Preparation and characterization of a series of polyamides with long alkylene segments: Nylons 12 20, 10 20,s 20,6 20, 4 20 and 2 20

Summary A series of nylons with long alkylene segments between amide groups were newly prepared by step-heating melt-polycondensation of 1,lS-octadecanedicarboxylic acid with various diamines. The prepared polyamides were characterized carefully. The results show that many properties of the prepared nylons change regularly with the length of methylene segments in diamines. In addition, nylon 2 20 has a relatively low molecular weight and much different melting and thermal decomposition behaviors in comparison with other nylons.

Fast online acquisition and analysis for parison swell and sag in blow molding

It is critical to quantitatively and reliably characterize the effects of swell and sag phenomena on the final parison dimensions in extrusion blow molding. To achieve this goal, an online image acquisition and analysis technique was developed. The successive images of parison were automatically taken using the online acquisition apparatus. These images were then analyzed by the combined use of the conventional digital image processing method and the new one developed by the authors. So the development of parison diameter and thickness swells with the extrusion time could be determined online. On the basis of the online obtained actual swell values, the pure swell and sag components were quantitatively determined. The developed technique was tested through a series of experiments using several resins under different processing parameters and die types. Shown in the present article were the results for a converging die under three different die gaps and a high‐density polyethylene. Some new phenomena were observed using the proposed technique. The results showed that the technique yields fast and accurate determination of the evolution of diameter, thickness, and length of parison during its extrusion. The technique can be employed as a part of the closed loop control for blow molded part thickness. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 2399–2406, 2006     

Chemical and experiential basis for rejection ofTropaeolum majus byPieris rapae larvae

Rejection of nasturtium,Tropaeolum majus, by cabbage-reared larvae ofPieris rapae has been explained by the presence of feeding deterrents in the nastrutium foliage. Sensitivity to the deterrents develops as neonate larvae feed on cabbage. The most prominent deterrent compound, which is present in nasturtium at a concentration of 40 mg/100 g fresh leaves, was identified as chlorogenic acid. When neonate larvae were fed on a cabbage leaf treated with high concentrations of deterrent-containing extracts of nasturtium foliage, they remained insensitive to the deterrents, so they accepted nasturtium when transferred as second instars. When neonate larvae were reared on a cabbage leaf treated with 0.1 mg chlorogenic acid, ca. 35% of the second instars accepted nasturtium. Similar dietary exposure of neonates to the subunits of chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid and quinic, acid resulted in much less or no effect on the rejection behavior of second instars. The results suggest that the combined effects of specific chemical constituents of nasturtium can explain the rejection of this plant by larvae ofP. rapae, but if larvae are continuously exposed to these compounds immediately after hatching, they apparently become habituated to the feeding deterrents. The lack of activity of the subunits of chlorogenic acid suggests that specific structural features are necessary for a dietary constituent to cause such habituation or suppression of sensitivity development.
