However, this conversion is not as simple as substituting steel with polymer; it requires a thorough redesign of the structural parameters specific to polymer gears. To enable the metal-to-polymer conversion of gear in power transmission, a model for optimizing polymer gear systems was developed. An investigation of the accessory transmission system of a low-thrust turbofan aeroengine was conducted. A comprehensive performance index for the accessory transmission was developed using combined weighting coefficients to achieve the optimization goals including total mass, transmission efficiency, maximum transmission error and so on. The polymer gear system developed using the proposed optimization model demonstrated a 70.4% reduction in total mass compared to the metal gear system, as well as a transmission error decrease of over 29% when compared to polymer gear systems with standard tooth profiles. The contribution analysis results demonstrated that optimizing the tooth width, pressure angle, and addendum height of polymer gears can significantly enhance the load-carrying capacity of the polymer gear system while maximizing tooth profile flexibility.","PeriodicalId":48611,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Design and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139609007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, persistent drawbacks overshadow these advancements. Challenges persist in balancing acquisition speed and image quality, while existing methods primarily focus on singular tasks like MRI reconstruction or super-resolution, neglecting the interplay between these tasks. To tackle these challenges, this paper introduces the Mutual Co-Attention Network (MCAN) specifically designed to concurrently address both MRI reconstruction and super-resolution tasks. Comprising multiple Mutual Cooperation Attention Blocks (MCABs) in succession, MCAN is tailored to maintain consistency between local physiological details and global anatomical structures. The intricately crafted MCAB includes a feature extraction block, a local attention block, and a global attention block. Additionally, to ensure data fidelity without compromising acquired data, we propose the Channel-wise Data Consistency (CDC) block. Thorough experimentation on the IXI and fastMRI dataset showcases MCAN’s superiority over existing state-of-the-art methods. Both quantitative metrics and visual quality assessments validate the enhanced performance of MCAN in MRI restoration. The findings underscore MCAN’s potential in significantly advancing therapeutic applications. By mitigating the trade-off between acquisition speed and image quality while simultaneously addressing both MRI reconstruction and super-resolution tasks, MCAN emerges as a promising solution in the domain of MR image restoration.","PeriodicalId":48611,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Design and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139612879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, there has been considerable research interest in deep model generation due to the increasing potential of deep learning methods. To address the challenges of 3D reconstruction and generation, we propose Brep2Seq, a novel deep neural network designed to transform the B-rep model into a sequence of editable parametrized feature-based modeling operations comprising principal primitives and detailed features. Brep2Seq employs an encoder-decoder architecture based on the Transformer, leveraging geometry and topological information within B-rep models to extract the feature representation of the original 3D shape. Due to its hierarchical network architecture and training strategy, Brep2Seq achieved improved model reconstruction and controllable model generation by distinguishing between the primary shape and detailed features of CAD models. To train Brep2Seq, a large-scale dataset comprising one million CAD designs is established through an automatic geometry synthesis method. Extensive experiments on both DeepCAD and Fusion 360 datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of Brep2Seq, and show its applicability to simple mechanical components in real-world scenarios. We further apply Brep2Seq to various downstream applications, including point cloud reconstruction, model interpolation, shape constraint generation and CAD feature recognition.","PeriodicalId":48611,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Design and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139612618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MPA is a recent and well-behaved optimizer with a unique memory saving and FADs mechanism. At the same time, it suffers from various defects such as inadequate global search, sluggish convergence, and stagnation of local optima. However, AO has contented robust global exploration capability, fast convergence speed, and high search efficiency. Thus, the proposed EHAOMPA aims to complement the shortcomings of AO and MPA while bringing new features. Specifically, the representative-based hunting technique is incorporated into the exploration stage to enhance population diversity. At the same time, random opposition-based learning (ROBL) is introduced into the exploitation stage to prevent the optimizer from sticking to local optima. This study tests the performance of EHAOMPA's on twenty-three standard mathematical benchmark functions, 29 complex test functions from the CEC2017 test suite, six constrained industrial engineering design problems, and a CNN-hyperparameter optimization for COVID-19 CT-image detection problem. EHAOMPA is compared with four existing optimization algorithm types, achieving the best performance on both numerical and practical issues. Compared to other methods, the test function results demonstrate that EHAOMPA exhibits a more potent global search capability, a higher convergence rate, increased accuracy, and an improved ability to avoid local optima. The excellent experimental results in practical problems indicate that the developed EHAOMPA has great potential in solving real-world optimization problems.

To mimic the nuanced locomotion of sea horses, SHO integrates the logarithmic helical equation and Levy flight, effectively incorporating both random movements with substantial step sizes and refined local exploitation. Additionally, the utilization of Brownian motion facilitates a more comprehensive exploration of the search space. This study introduces a robust and high-performance variant of the SHO algorithm named mSHO. The enhancement primarily focuses on bolstering SHO's exploitation capabilities by replacing its original method with an innovative local search strategy encompassing three distinct steps: a neighborhood-based local search, a global non-neighbor-based search, and a method involving circumnavigation of the existing search region. These techniques improve mSHO algorithm's search capabilities, allowing it to navigate the search space and converge toward optimal solutions efficiently. To evaluate the efficacy of the mSHO algorithm, comprehensive assessments are conducted across both the CEC2020 benchmark functions and nine distinct engineering problems. A meticulous comparison is drawn against nine metaheuristic algorithms to validate the achieved outcomes. Statistical tests, including Wilcoxon's rank-sum and Friedman's tests, are aptly applied to discern noteworthy differences among the compared algorithms. Empirical findings consistently underscore the exceptional performance of mSHO across diverse benchmark functions, reinforcing its prowess in solving complex optimization problems. Furthermore, the robustness of mSHO endures even as the dimensions of optimization challenges expand, signifying its unwavering efficacy in navigating complex search spaces. The comprehensive results distinctly establish the supremacy and efficiency of the mSHO method as an exemplary tool for tackling an array of optimization quandaries. The results show that the proposed mSHO algorithm has a total rank of 1 for CEC’2020 test functions.

Hull form modification is a crucial step to affect optimization efficiency because the baseline hull form is varied to search for performance improvements. The conventional hull form modification methods mainly rely on human decisions and intervention. As a direct expression of the 3-D hull form, the lines are not appropriate for machine learning techniques. This is because they do not explicitly express a meaningful performance metric despite their relatively large data dimension. To solve this problem and develop a novel machine-based hull form design technique, an autoencoder, which is a dimensional reduction technique based on an artificial neural network, was created in this study. Specifically, a convolutional autoencoder was designed; firstly, a convolutional neural network (CNN) preprocessor was used to effectively train the offsets, which are the half-width coordinate values on the hull surface, to extract feature maps. Secondly, the stacked encoder compressed the feature maps into an optimal lower-dimensional-latent vector. Finally, a transposed convolution layer restored the dimension of the lines. In this study, 21 250 hull forms belonging to three different ship types of containership, LNG carrier, and tanker, were used as training data. To describe the hull form in more detail, each was divided into several zones, which were then input into the CNN preprocessor separately. After the training, a low-dimensional manifold consisting of the components of the latent vector was derived to represent the distinctive hull form features of the three ship types considered. The autoencoder technique was then combined with another novel approach of the surrogate model to form an objective function neural network. Further combination with the deterministic particle swarm optimization (DPSO) method led to a successful hull form optimization example. In summary, the present convolutional autoencoder has demonstrated its significance within the machine learning-based design process for ship hull forms.","PeriodicalId":48611,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Design and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139388176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The KSO is based on kernel theory, eliminating the need for hyper-parameter adjustments, and demonstrating excellent global search capabilities. However, the original KSO exhibits insufficient accuracy in local search, and there is a high probability that it may fail to achieve local optimization in complex tasks. Therefore, this paper proposes a Multi-Strategy Enhanced Kernel Search Optimizer (MSKSO) to enhance the local search ability of the KSO. The MSKSO combines several control strategies, including chaotic initialization, chaotic local search mechanisms, the High-Altitude Walk Strategy (HWS), and the Levy Flight (LF), to effectively balance exploration and exploitation. The MSKSO is compared with ten well-known algorithms on fifty benchmark test functions to validate its performance, including single-peak, multi-peak, separable variable, and non-separable variable functions. Additionally, the MSKSO is applied to two real engineering economic emission dispatch (EED) problems in power systems. Experimental results demonstrate that the performance of the MSKSO nearly optimizes that of other well-known algorithms and achieves favorable results on the EED problem. These case studies verify that the MSKSO outperforms other algorithms and can serve as an effective optimization tool.","PeriodicalId":48611,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Design and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139174429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We define descriptors that represent information about the faces and edges of the B-rep model from the perspective of feature recognition. These descriptors are extracted from the B-rep model and transformed into homogeneous graph data, which is then passed to graph networks.
