A hybrid genetic algorithm is proposed to deal with the shape optimization of the truss based on relative difference quotient method and improved genetic algorithm. The advantages of the genetic algorithm in global optimization and the relative difference quotient method in local searching ability are both included in the HGA method. Numerical example of a 37-bar truss was given to demonstrate the...
The gating and riser design plays an important role in the quality and cost of a metal casting. Due to the lack of existing theoretical procedures to follow, the design process is normally carried out on a trial-and-error basis. In this paper, the casting design is first formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem with conflicting objectives and a complex search space. An optimization method...
Most state-of-the-art nonrigid shape recovery methods usually use explicit deformable mesh models to regularize surface deformation and constrain the search space. These triangulated mesh models heavily relying on the quadratic regularization term are difficult to accurately capture large deformations, such as severe bending. In this paper, we propose a novel Gaussian process regression approach to...
Sparse signal representations and approximations from overcomplete dictionaries have become an invaluable tool recently. In this paper, we develop a new, heuristic, graph-structured, sparse signal representation algorithm for overcomplete dictionaries that can be decomposed into subdictionaries and whose dictionary elements can be arranged in a hierarchy. Around this algorithm, we construct a methodology...
