In order to improve the structural stiffness of the gravure cell structure in the solid printing process and realize a lightweight design, a multi-objective optimization design method was proposed to optimize the parameters of the direct laser engraving of the cell structure. In this paper, based on the characteristics of the cell structure and the analysis of the contact force, the ANSYS parametric design language (APDL) was used to conduct a finite element analysis on the microstructure of the regular hexagonal cell. We found that there is a certain optimization space. Then, a response surface (RSM) method optimization model, using a central composite design (CCD), was established to obtain, and then analyze, the sensitivity of each design variable to the objective functions. Finally, a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) was used to solve the model. The optimization results show that the maximum deformation was reduced by 44.4%, and the total volume was reduced by 46.3%. By comparing with the model before optimization, the rationality and effectiveness of this method were verified. This shows that the method can be effectively applied to the design optimization of gravure cell microstructure, and it provides theoretical support for new cell design.

In order to improve dynamic and static performance of the precision horizontal machining center, the method of multi-objective optimization based on the response surface model was applied for optimizing design of the bed structure. The design variables were the layout parameters of the rib plates. Sample points were obtained by the Box-Behnken design experiment, and responses of sample points were analyzed by SAMCEF. The maximum deformation of guide rails and the low-order natural frequency were extracted to fit the response surface model by least square method. The layout parameters of the rib plates were optimized through the application of multi-objective genetic algorithms. Then, relationship between the lightening holes and the performance were analyzed to determine the suitable diameter. The results verify the validity of the optimization method, and the paper provides methodological guidance for optimization of machine tool structural parts.

The optimization of blank design is the key to the implementation of a green innovation strategy. The process of blank design determines more than 80% of resource consumption and environmental emissions during the blank processing. Unfortunately, the traditional blank design method based on function and quality is not suitable for today’s sustainable development concept. In order to solve this problem, a research method of blank design optimization based on a low-carbon and low-cost process route optimization is proposed. Aiming at the processing characteristics of complex box type blank parts, the concept of the workstep element is proposed to represent the characteristics of machining parts, a low-carbon and low-cost multi-objective optimization model is established, and relevant constraints are set up. In addition, an intelligent generation algorithm of a working step chain is proposed, and combined with a particle swarm optimization algorithm to solve the optimization model. Finally, the feasibility and practicability of the method are verified by taking the processing of the blank of an emulsion box as an example. The data comparison shows that the comprehensive performance of the low-carbon and low-cost multi-objective optimization is the best, which meets the requirements of low-carbon processing, low-cost, and sustainable production.

Recently, there has been a renewed interest in the research of tandem compressor cascades due to the high stage pressure ratio and low control cost. Firstly, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is employed to examine the particular aerodynamic performance of the tandem cascade. Then we propose an automatic multi-objective optimization design method of the tandem cascade for the superior aerodynamic performance under the multiple operation conditions. Particular efforts have been devoted to the gap geometry optimization in terms of the front and aft airfoil relative position, camber turning ratio as well as chord ratio. The multi-objective optimization algorithm comprises a refined multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) and a developed artificial neural network (ANN) model which is used to fast approximate the aerodynamic performance of the tandem cascade. The results show that the tandem cascade outperforms the single cascade in terms of producing higher pressure ratio and lower losses while the operation range is rather narrow. The optimized all-better-than (ABT) tandem cascade has its design point performance significantly improved while the operation range slightly widened. We also find that a slight axial proximity and separation of the tandem airfoils are beneficial to widening the positive and negative operation range, respectively. This research is useful to the tandem compressor cascade design in minimizing the stage number of the engine compressors.

In order to improve the reliability of a planet carrier, a simulation method based on multi-objective design optimization was developed in this paper. The objective of the method was to reduce the stress concentration, the deformation, and the quality of the planet carrier by optimizing the structure dimension. A parametric finite element model, which enables a good understanding of how the parameters affect the reliability of planet carrier, was established and simulated by ANSYS-WORKBENCH. The efficiency of the design optimization was improved by using a polynomials response surface to approximate the results of finite element analysis and a screening algorithm to determine the direction of optimization. Furthermore, the multi-objective optimization was capable of finding the global minimum results in the use of the minimum principle on the response surface. Computer simulation was carried out to verify the validity of the presented optimization method, by which the quality and the stability of the planet carrier were significantly reduced and improved, respectively. The methodology described in this paper can be effectively used to improve the reliability of planet carrier.

Modern aerodynamic optimization design methods for the industrial axial compressor cascade mainly aim at improving both design point and off-design point performance. In this study, a multi-point and multi-objective optimization design method is established for the cascade, particularly aiming at widening the operating range while maintaining good performance at the acceptable expense of computational load. The design objectives are to maximize the static pressure ratio and minimize the total pressure loss coefficient at the design point, and to maximize the operating range for the positive and negative incidences. To alleviate the computational load, a design of experiment (DOE)-based GA–BP-ANN model is constructed to rapidly approximate the cascade aerodynamic performance in the optimization process. The artificial neural network (ANN) is trained by the genetic algorithm (GA) technique and back propagation (BP) algorithm, where the training cascades are sampled by the DOE method and analysed by the computational fluid dynamics method. The multi-objective genetic algorithm is used to search for a series of Pareto-optimum solutions, from which an optimal cascade is found out whose objectives are all better than (ABT) those of the original design. The ABT cascade is characterized by the lower camber and higher turning angle, leading to better aerodynamic performance in a widened operating range. Compared with the original design, the ABT cascade decreases the total pressure loss coefficient by 1.54 per cent, 23.4 per cent, and 7.87 per cent at the incidences of 5°, −9°, and 13°, respectively. The established optimization design method can be extended to the three-dimensional aerodynamic design of axial compressor blade.
