This paper presents an optimal synthesis method for path generation of planar mechanisms, in which a new path-description method named refined numerical representation is proposed to define the object function of the optimization model for path generation, and then the artificial immune network searching method is introduced to search candidate solutions. As a result, desired mechanisms can be generated independent of the scale, rotation, and translation transformation as well as sampling uniformity of initial sampling points. Experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.

This paper presents an optimization method for path generation of planar mechanisms by using artificial immune network based multimodal optimization algorithm. Firstly, the multimodal character of optimal synthesis methods for mechanism path generation is analyzed. Secondly, based on brief introduction of the artificial immune network theory and the AINET based multimodal optimization algorithm Opt-aiNet, the Opt-aiNet algorithm is improved in stopping criterion and parameter selection, which is ground on detailed analysis of the influence of parameters on the performance of algorithm. Then the improved Opt-aiNet algorithm is introduced to solve multimodal model of mechanism path generation. Finally, based upon the case study, the advantages of the improved Opt-aiNet algorithm in solving mechanism path generation problm are discussed and some concluding remarks are drawn.

Synthesis Of Mechanisms

Abstract Four-bar linkages are commonly used mechanisms in various mechanical systems and components. Several techniques for optimum synthesis of planar mechanisms have been suggested in literature such as the Genetic, Tabu, Simulated Annealing, Swarm-Based and many other algorithms. This paper covers optimization of four-bar mechanisms with path generation tasks using a Dynamic Ant Search (DAS) algorithm. Unlike the Modified Ant Search (MAS) technique where ants unanimously moved between the exploration and exploitation phases, in the proposed algorithm, each ant is free to travel between the two aforementioned phases independent of other ants and as governed by its own pheromone intensity level. Moreover, sensitivity analysis is conducted on the design parameters to determine their corresponding neighborhood search boundaries and thus improve the search while in the exploitation mode. These implemented changes demonstrated a remarkable impact on the optimum synthesis of mechanisms for path generation tasks. A briefing of the MAS based algorithm is first presented after which the proposed modified optimization technique and its implementation on four-bar mechanisms are furnished. Finally, three case studies are conducted to evaluate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed methodology where the performances of the obtained optimum designs are benchmarked with those previously reported in literature.

A two-phase synthesis method is described, which is capable of solving quite challenging path generation problems. A combined discrete Fourier descriptor (FD) is proposed for shape optimization, and a geometric-based approach is used for the scale–rotation–translation synthesis. The combined discrete FD comprises three shape signatures, i.e., complex coordinates (CCs), centroid distance (CD), and triangular centroid area (TCA), which can capture greater similarity of shape. The genetic algorithm–differential evolution (GA–DE) optimization method is used to solve the optimization problem. The proposed two-phase synthesis method, based on the combined discrete FD, successfully solves the challenging path generation problems with a relatively small number of function evaluations. A more accurate path shape can be obtained using the combined FD than the one-phase synthesis method. The obtained coupler curves approximate the desired paths quite well.

Reducing the cost of unscheduled shutdowns and enhancing the reliability of production systems is an important goal for various industries; this could be achieved by condition monitoring and artificial intelligence. Cavitation is a common undesired phenomenon in centrifugal pumps, which causes damage and its detection in the preliminary stage is very important. In this paper, cavitation is identified by use of vibration and current signal and artificial immune network that is modeled on the base of the human immune system. For this purpose, first data collection were done by a laboratory setup in health and five stages damage condition; then various features in time, frequency, and time–frequency were extracted from vibration and current signals in addition to pressure and flow rate; next feature selection and dimensions reduction were done by artificial immune method to use for classification; finally, they were used by artificial immune network and some other methods to identify the system condition and classification. The results of this study showed that this method is more accurate in the detection of cavitation in the initial stage compared to methods such as non-linear supportive vector machine, multi-layer artificial neural network, K-means and fuzzy C-means with the same data. Also, selected features with artificial immune system were better than principal component analysis results.

Abstract A method for synthesizing the types of spatial as well as planar mechanisms is expressed in this paper by using the concept of phase diagram in metallurgy. The concept represented as a type synthesis technique is applied to (a) planar mechanisms with n degrees of freedom and simple loop, (b) spatial mechanisms with single degree of freedom and simple loop, to enumerate all the possible mechanisms with physically realizable kinematic pairs. Based on the technique described, a set of new reciprocating mechanisms is generated as a practical application.

As a computational intelligence method, artificial immune network (AIN) algorithm has been widely applied to pattern recognition and data classification. In the existing artificial immune network algorithms, the calculating affinity for classifying is based on calculating a certain distance, which may lead to some unsatisfactory results in dealing with data with nominal attributes. To overcome the shortcoming, the association rules are introduced into AIN algorithm, and we propose a new classification algorithm an associate rules mining algorithm based on artificial immune network (ARM-AIN). The new method uses the association rules to represent immune cells and mine the best association rules rather than searching optimal clustering centers. The proposed algorithm has been extensively compared with artificial immune network classification (AINC) algorithm, artificial immune network classification algorithm based on self-adaptive PSO (SPSO-AINC), and PSO-AINC over several large-scale data sets, target recognition of remote sensing image, and segmentation of three different SAR images. The result of experiment indicates the superiority of ARM-AIN in classification accuracy and running time.
