Difficulties associated with current health monitoring and inspection practices combined with harsh, often remote, operational environments of wind turbines highlight the requirement for a non-destructive evaluation system capable of remotely monitoring the current structural state of turbine blades. This research adopted a physics based structural health monitoring methodology through calibration of a finite element model using inverse techniques. A 2.36m blade from a 5kW turbine was used as an experimental specimen, with operational modal analysis techniques utilised to realize the modal properties of the system. Modelling the experimental responses as fuzzy numbers using the sub-level technique, uncertainty in the response parameters was propagated back through the model and into the updating parameters. Initially, experimental responses of the blade were obtained, with a numerical model of the blade created and updated. Deterministic updating was carried out through formulation and minimisation of a deterministic objective function using both firefly algorithm and virus optimisation algorithm. Uncertainty in experimental responses were modelled using triangular membership functions, allowing membership functions of updating parameters (Young's modulus and shear modulus) to be obtained. firefly algorithm and virus optimisation algorithm were again utilised, however, this time in the solution of fuzzy objective functions. This enabled uncertainty associated with updating parameters to be quantified. Varying damage location and severity was simulated experimentally through addition of small masses to the structure intended to cause a structural alteration. A damaged model was created, modelling four variable magnitude nonstructural masses at predefined points and updated to provide a deterministic damage prediction and information in relation to the parameters uncertainty via fuzzy updating.

An object recognition and localization is a primary issue that is harder than a classification of an image even with precise object location and their annotations available at the time of training. The feature is identified for localizing the objects and classification identifies the classes from recognized object regions. This research work is proposed the two approaches i. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is optimized using the firefly algorithm (FA), and Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) descriptors, ii. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with Adam (Adaptive Moment) optimizer. In first method, FA has been used in the searching of optimal parameters through the simulation of the social behavior of the fireflies using the bioluminescent i.e. emission of light intensity. This FA is trained the Lagrangian multiplier and smoothness parameters in the SVM continuously. The second research work Adam based CNN has recognized the objects in multi-object images. The hash directory is proposed to store the highest scored bounding boxes to speed up the process. The experiments have been evaluated with binary as well as multi-object images. The proposed model has been trained and validated using VOC2012 dataset. It consists the kind of general macro photography images for object identification. The Average Precision (AP) is computed, and comparison shows that CNN performs better than FA-SVM method.

Stiffness variety in composite parts is performed by local improvement in directions which are more favorable to carry loads in Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) technology. An approach to find the optimum position and the best length of layup dropping in AFP technology is introduced. Since, the objectives are minimum weight and maximum stiffness, problem is considered as a multi-objective optimization. Fiber failure, matrix cracking, and onset of delamination take into account as the constraints for objective function. A comparative study is introduced to evaluate the performance of Genetic algorithm and firefly algorithm in finding the global optimum result. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

In the arena of software engineering, Project Based Learning (PBL) is one of the fundamental components of practical based assessment. PBL involves team formation where necessary skills are needed to execute the project. Traditionally, the teams were randomly allocated based on individual preferences. To cab on this issue, preference based model needs few refinements such as skills needs to be identified by the facilitator while the students provide the necessary skill data. This way, students get assigned based on their skill rather than just random allocation. In a worst case scenario for random allocation, a team can end up with a very strong team having high skills or vice versa where a team has all of its members with limited skill or few skills are missing. The group created by skill preference would allow each group to more or less have the same strength and nearly all skills would be present in a group. In this paper, a method is extended from its original to cater for other state-of-the-art optimization techniques rather than just genetic algorithm to find a method that can suit small or large dataset. The objective function takes into account the differences between the total skill set of each group with the average total skill set needed for each group and the missing skill penalty of each group is added. Missing skill penalty is incurred due to not satisfying all the constraints such as non-presence of all the skills in a group. The skill rating allows better selection of members in a software engineering course. The results discussed in this paper are from 5 courses of one university.

Forecasting of wind speed plays an important role in wind power prediction for management of wind energy. Due to intermittent nature of wind, accurately forecasting of wind speed has been a long standing research challenge. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) is one of promising approaches to predict wind speed. However, since the results of ANN-based models are strongly dependent on the initial weights and thresholds values which are usually randomly generated, the stability of forecasting results is not always satisfactory. This paper presents a new hybrid model for short term forecasting of wind speed with high accuracy and strong stability by optimizing the parameters in a generalized regression neural network (GRNN) using a multi-objective firefly algorithm (MOFA). To evaluate the effectiveness of this hybrid algorithm, we apply it for short-term forecasting of wind speed from four wind power stations in Penglai, China, along with four typical ANN-based models, which are back propagation neural network (BPNN), radical basis function neural network (RBFNN), wavelet neural network (WNN) and GRNN. The comparison results clearly show that this hybrid model can significantly reduce the impact of randomness of initialization on the forecasting results and achieve good accuracy and stability.

Intelligent optimization algorithms based on swarm principles have been widely researched in recent times. The firefly algorithm (FA) is an intelligent swarm algorithm for global optimization problems. In literature, FA has been seen as one of the efficient and robust optimization algorithm. However, the solution search space used in FA is insufficient, and the strategy for generating candidate solutions results in good exploration ability but poor exploitation performance. Although, there are a lot of modifications and hybridizations of FA with other optimizing algorithms, there is still a room for improvement. Therefore, in this paper, we first propose modification of FA by introducing a stepping ahead parameter. Second, we design a hybrid of modified FA with Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMAES) to improve the exploitation while containing good exploration. Traditionally, hybridization meant to combine two algorithms together in terms of structure only, and preference was not taken into account. To solve this issue, preference in terms of user and problem (time complexity) is taken where CMAES is used within FA's loop to avoid extra computation time. This way, the structure of algorithm together with the strength of the individual solution are used. In this paper, FA is modified first and later combined with CMAES to solve selected global optimization benchmark problems. The effectiveness of the new hybridization is shown with the performance analysis.
