New, accurate closed-form formulas for the synthesis of multilayer homogeneous coupling structure (MHCS) are presented. They are obtained by using a differential evolution algorithm (DEA), and are useful for the computer-aided design (CAD) of MHCS. The average percentage error is found to be 0.38% for 1825 MHCS samples having different electrical parameters and physical dimensions, as compared with the results of the quasi-static analysis.

The synthesis formulas are obtained by means of a differential evolution algorithm (DEA), and are useful to microwave engineers for accurately calculating the physical dimensions of MHCS-WGS. The average percentage error is calculated to be 0.8% for 13614 MHCS-WGS samples having different electrical parameters and physical dimensions, as compared with the results of quasi-static analysis.

A non-linear algorithm of photoelastic tomography for the measurement of axisymmetric stress fields has been elaborated. It is free of any assumptions concerning the value of the birefringence or rotation of the principal stress axes along the light rays. The algorithm is based on the measurement of characteristic directions and phase retardation in two parallel sections of the test object. Stress components are presented in the form of power series along the radial coordinate. A differential evolution algorithm has been used for finding the stress field parameters, which fit the measurement data best. Application of the method is illustrated by residual stress measurement in a drinking glass.

Considering that kinetics and thermodynamics are coupled with heat and mass transfer effects being present in the liquid-phase catalytic oxidation of p-xylene to terephthalic acid (OXTA) in an industrial type of continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and that the time evolution of the concentration of all the interest intermediate and final products of OXTA in the industrial CSTR cannot be obtained to estimate macrokinetic parameters, a novel data mining macrokinetic approach based on artificial neural network (ANN) was proposed to develop the macrokinetic model of OXTA in the industrial CSTR, which mines intrinsic kinetics and transport phenomena information from the sample data collected from OXTA in the industrial CSTR. Firstly, the reaction orders of OXTA are estimated by the mass transfer-free experiment data in the laboratory semi-batch stirred tank reactor. The kinetics of OXTA in the industrial CSTR is assumed to be zeroth-order with respect to gaseous reactants, 0.65-order with respect to p-xylene, and first-order with respect to the other liquid reactants, respectively. Secondly, ANN is employed to model the influence of the reaction parameters on the rate constants of OXTA in the industrial CSTR. Based on the sample data collected from OXTA in the industrial CSTR, heuristic differential evolution algorithm is employed to adjust the weights and thresholds of the rate constant ANN in such a way that it minimizes the prediction error of the macrokinetic model, and thus the optimal weights and thresholds are obtained and the macrokinetic model of OXTA in the industrial CSTR is developed. The reliability of the macrokinetic model was investigated and the satisfactory results were obtained. Further, a generalized macrokinetic approach for multi-phase reaction in industrial reactor was suggested too. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Mobile robot global localization aims to determine the robot's pose in a known environment in absence of initial robot's pose information. This article presents an evolutive localization algorithm known as Evolutive Localization Filter(ELF). Based on evolutionary computation concepts, the proposed algorithm search stochastically along the state space the best robot's pose estimate. The set of pose solutions (the population) represents the most likely areas according Me perception and motion information received. The population evolves by using the observation and motion errors derived from the comparison between observed and predicted data obtained from the probabilistic perception and motion model. The resulting global localization module has been tested in a mobile robot equipped with a laser range finder. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness, robustness and computational efficiency of the proposed approach.

A new solution to the Simultaneous Localization and Modelling problem is presented. It is based on the stochastic search of solutions in the state space to the global localization problem by means of a differential evolution algorithm. A non linear evolutive filter, called Evolutive Localization Filter (ELF), searches stochastically along the state space for the best robot pose estimate. The proposed SLAM algorithm operates in two steps: in the first step the ELF filter is used at a local level to re-localize the robot based on the robot odometry, the laser scan at a given position and a local map where only a low number of the last scans have been integrated. In a second step the aligned laser measures together with (he corrected robot poses are use to detect when the robot is revisiting a previously crossed area. Once a cycle is detected, the Evolutive Localization Filter is used again to re-estimate the robot poses in order to integrate the sensor measures in the global map of the environment. The algorithm has been tested in different environments to demonstrate the effectiveness, robustness and computational efficiency of the proposed approach.

A novel intelligent algorithm, refined Geographic Culture algorithm (GCA), is presented to handle optimal urban power planning about substation locating and sizing. Culture algorithm consists of population space and belief space. The cultural algorithm is different with other integer optimization algorithm, since it is systematic, guidance, population space and belief space promote mutually by communication. GCA adopts the differential evolution algorithm (DE) as population space and proposes four kinds of strategies to constitute the belief space according to the urban power network characteristic. GCA is tested by a realistic planning project and compared with particle swarm optimization (PSO) to verify the effectiveness and feasibility.

Selection of cutting parameters in high-speed machining is one of the most important tasks to achieve the required level of quality. evolutionary algorithms are often used to obtain the optimal parameters corresponding to a single value of surface finish. In most practical applications, it is necessary to determine the cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut to meet the required surface finish. In the present work, high-speed end-milling has been studied, and an objective function for surface finish is obtained by Response Surface Methodology using results of carefully designed experiments. Testing of differentialevolution and genetic algorithms using the classical Himmelblau function reveals that the performance of differentialevolution is better. Therefore, differentialevolution is used in the present work with a newly proposed objective function, and the machining parameters for the required surface finish are obtained.

differentialevolution (DE) is a new branch of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) and has been successfully applied to solve the optimal reactive power now (ORPF) problems in power systems. Although DE can avoid premature convergence, large population is needed and the application of DE is limited in large-scale power systems. Grid computing, as a prevalent paradigm for resource-intensive scientific application, is expected to provide a computing platform with tremendous computational power to speed up the optimization process of DE. When implanting DE based ORPF on grid system, fault tolerance due to unstable environment and variation of grid is a significant issue to be considered. In this paper, a fault tolerant DE-based ORPF method is proposed. In this method, when the individuals are distributed to the grid for fitness evaluation, a proportion of individuals, which returns from the grid slowly or fails to return, are replaced with new individuals generated randomly according to some specific rules. This approach can deal with the fault tolerance and also maintain diversity of the population of DE. The superior performance of the proposed approach is verified by numerical simulations on the ORPF problem of the IEEE 118-bus standard power system.
