This paper proposes framework for nonlinear finite element (FE) model updating, in which state-of-the-art nonlinear structural FE modeling and analysis techniques are combined with the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method to estimate time-invariant parameters governing the nonlinear hysteretic material constitutive models used in the FE model of the structure. Using the MLE as a parameter estimation tool results in a nonlinearoptimization problem, which can be efficiently solved using gradient-based optimizationalgorithms such as the interior-point method. Gradient-based optimizationalgorithms require the FE response sensitivities with respect to the material parameters to be identified, which are computed accurately and efficiently using the direct differentiation method (DDM). The estimation uncertainties are evaluated based on the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) theorem by computing the exact Fisher Information matrix using the FE response sensitivities. A proof-of-concept example, consisting of a cantilever steel column representing a bridge pier, is provided to validate the proposed nonlinear FE model updating framework. The simulated responses of this bridge pier to an earthquake ground motion is polluted with artificial output measurement noise and used to estimate the unknown parameters of the material constitutive model. The example illustrates the excellent performance of the proposed parameter estimation framework even in the presence of high measurement noise.

In this study we develop a feedback controller for a four wheeled autonomous mobile robot. The purpose of the controller is to guarantee robust performance of an aggressive maneuver (90 degrees turn) at high velocity (about 10 m/s) on a loose surface (dirty road). To tackle this highly non-linear control problem, we employ multi-objective evolutionary algorithms to explore and optimize the parameters of a neural network-based controller. The obtained controller is shown to be robust with respect to uncertainties of the robot parameters, speed of the maneuver and properties of the ground. The controller is tested using two mathematical models of significantly different complexity and accuracy.

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are widely used for various applications. Although adaptive learning rate algorithms are attractive for DNN training, their theoretical performance remains unclear. In fact, published analyses consider only simple optimization settings such as convex optimization, none of which are applicable to DNN training. This paper proposes TSO-ALRA, a two-stage optimizer using an adaptive learning rate algorithm;it is based on a full analysis of two approaches that do suit DNNs: parameter updates along geodesics on the statistical manifold and covariance structure of gradients. Our analysis reveals that the diagonal approximation used by existing adaptive learning rate algorithms inevitably degrades their efficiency. In addition, our analysis suggests that adaptive learning rate algorithms suffer drops in generalization performance in the last phase of training. To overcome these problems, TSO-ALRA combines an effective approximation technique and a switching strategy. Our experiments on several models and datasets show that TSO-ALRA efficiently converges with high generalization performance.

This paper presents innovative results to improve the design and manufacture of high-performance synchronous reluctance machines. These results have been obtained from our research in analyzing and synthesizing advanced control algorithms to promote the competitiveness of three-phase synchronous reluctance machines in electric drives in comparison with permanent-magnet synchronous motors and induction machines. These results have direct application in the design and manufacture of electric- and hybrid-electric drivetrains for light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicles. First, we will report on the dynamic optimization of medium-duty synchronous reluctance machines described by nonlinear differential equations. Second, we describe a new design optimization method, based upon nonlinear electromagnetic analysis, to improve steady-state performance and to enhance the operating envelope. highly efficient, high-speed synchronous reluctance motors, ranging from 10 kW to 100 kW, were manufactured and tested. The design methods ensure cost-effective production of a new generation of state-of-the-art synchronous reluctance motors. To meet specified levels of performance, advanced control laws are needed, and highly detailed dynamical nonlinear analysis must be performed in addition to the steady-state optimization. This paper develops a nonlinear model of synchronous reluctance motors that incorporates saturation effects. Kirchhoff's and Newton's laws are used to derive the models. The application of Park's transformation results in a set of differential equations in the rotor reference frame;that is, the quadrature-, direct-, and zero-axis voltage and current quantities are used in analysis, modeling and design. Robust controllers are developed to guarantee closed-loop system stability and attain the disturbance rejection.

This paper describes the development of a method to optimally tune constrained MPC algorithms for a nonlinear process. The T-S model is firstly established for nonlinear systems and its sequence parameters of fuzzy rules are identified by local recursive least square method. The proposed method is obtained by minimizing performance criteria in the worst-case conditions to control the process system, thus assuring robustness to the set of optimum tuning parameters. The resulting constrained mixed-integer nonlinearoptimization problem is solved on the basis of a version of the particle swarm optimization technique. The practicality and effectiveness of the identification and control scheme is demonstrated by simulation results.

This paper implements a distributed parameter optimization system based on Mesos and studies the scheduling strategy of this system. Using the resource interface of Mesos, the system packages a variety of common parameter optimizationalgorithms and task scheduling strategy into a framework software that can run on Mesos. Aiming at the two level scheduling mechanism of Mesos, a dynamic scheduling strategy for distributed parameter optimization system in multi job environment on hybrid deployment cluster is proposed. This paper designs several experiments, and compares the resource scheduling strategy of the architecture software with the FIFO scheduling strategy in the hybrid deployment scenario. This work reduces the difficulty of optimizing distributed parameters in common scenarios such as deep learning in a cluster environment, and improves resource utilization efficiency in multi-task environment.

This paper describes the optimization, parallelization, and simulated performance of a software double-binary turbo decoder implementation supporting the WiMAX standard suitable for software-defined radio (SDR). Turbo codes offer excellent error-correcting performance, but present high computational requirements, hence a parallel approach is desirable when seeking to exploit the flexibility of SDR. The development of a flexible parallel maximum a postiori (MAP) decoding algorithm is detailed, with simulation speedup results demonstrating good parallel efficiency (above 80%). For the same number of threads, a linear-log-MAP decoder implementation using 4 iterations was shown to be have nearly twice the throughput with comparable BER performance of a max-log-MAP decoder implementation using 8 iterations. In addition to parallel execution, other performance enhancements in software and through customized instructions provide a combined per-thread speedup of up to 57%.
The adaptation of sequential algorithms for highperformance Computing (HPC) systems is determined by a tradeoff between algorithmic effectiveness (software) and communication frequency (hardware) of the parallel impl...
