AbstractOne of the main requirements in the design of structures made of functionally graded materials is their best response when used in an actual environment. This optimum behaviour may be achieved by searching for the optimal variation of the mechanical and physical properties along which the material compositionally grades. In the works available in the literature, the solution of such an optimization problem usually is obtained by searching for the values of the so called heterogeneity factors (characterizing the expression of the property variations) such that an objective function is minimized. Results, however, do not necessarily guarantee realistic structures and may give rise to unfeasible volume fractions if mapped into a micromechanical model. This paper is motivated by the confidence that a more intrinsic optimization problem should a priori consist in the search for the constituents’ volume fractions rather than tuning parameters for prefixed classes of property variations. Obtaining a solution for such a class of problem requires tools borrowed from dynamic optimization theory. More precisely, herein the so-called Pontryagin Minimum Principle is used, which leads to unexpected results in terms of the derivative of constituents’ volume fractions, regardless of the involved micromechanical model. In particular, along this line of investigation, the optimization problem for axisymmetric bodies subject to internal pressure and for which plane elasticity holds is formulated and analytically solved. The material is assumed to be functionally graded in the radial direction and the goal is to find the gradation that minimizes the maximum equivalent stress. A numerical example on internally pressurized functionally graded cylinders is also performed. The corresponding solution is found to perform better than volume fraction profiles commonly employed in the literature.

A Direct Method

This paper addresses the optimal control of a long-haul passenger train to deliver minimum-fuel operations. Contrary to the common Pontryagin minimum principle approach in railroad-related literature, this work addresses this optimal control problem with a direct method of optimization, the use of which is still marginal in this field. The implementation of a particular direct method based on the Euler collocation scheme and its transcription into a nonlinear problem are described in detail. In this paper, this optimization technique is benchmarked with well-known optimization methods in the literature, namely dynamic programming and the Pontryagin minimum principle, by simulating a real route. The results showed that the direct methods are on the same level of optimality compared with other algorithms while requiring reduced computational time and memory and being able to handle very complex dynamic systems. The performance of the direct method is also compared to the real trajectory followed by the train operator and exhibits up to 20% of fuel saving in the example route.

The powertrain model of the series-parallel plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) is more complicated, compared with series PHEVs and parallel PHEVs. Using the traditional dynamic programming (DP) algorithm or Pontryagin minimum principle (PMP) algorithm to solve the global-optimization-based energy management strategies of the series-parallel PHEVs is not ideal, as the solution time is too long or even impossible to solve. Chief engineers of hybrid system urgently require a handy tool to quickly solve global-optimization-based energy management strategies. Therefore, this paper proposed to use the Radau pseudospectral knotting method (RPKM) to solve the global-optimization-based energy management strategy of the series-parallel PHEVs to improve computational efficiency. Simulation results showed that compared with the DP algorithm, the global-optimization-based energy management strategy based on the RPKM improves the computational efficiency by 1806 times with a relative error of only 0.12%. On this basis, a bi-level nested component-sizing method combining the genetic algorithm and RPKM was developed. By applying the global-optimization-based energy management strategy based on RPKM to the actual development, the feasibility and superiority of RPKM applied to the global-optimization-based energy management strategy of the series-parallel PHEVs were further verified.
