Improved ant colony optimization algorithm for solving constraint satisfaction problem by HANGYong-gang Z, HANGSi-bo Z, UEQiu-shi X

“…The traditional backtracking algorithm was less efficient on solving large-scale constraint satisfaction problem,and more difficult to be solved within a reasonable time.In order to overcome this problem,many incompleteness algo-rithms based on heuristic search have been proposed.Two improvements based on ant colony optimization meta-heuristic constraint solving algorithm were presented:First,arc consistency checks was done to preprocess before exploring the search space,Second,a new parameter setting scheme was proposed for ant colony optimization to improve the effi-ciency of the search.Finally,the improved algorithm is applied to solve random problems and combinatorial optimization problems.The results of the experiment have showed its superiority.…”

Optimized CFRP layering design for circumferential internal corrugated compression shell by Runze WU, Jianliang SUN, Xu ZHANG, Mingfang QI

“…ObjectiveIn order to meet the development trend of low weight and high strength in the design of compression shell structures for deep-sea submersibles, this paper proposes a structural enhancement method which involves winding a circumferential internal corrugated compression shell with a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), then analyzes and optimizes the CFRP layering scheme. MethodFinite element simulation software ABAQUS is used to change the layering parameters of the CFRP according to the stress distribution of the composite layers, and the optimal winding angle under 14 layers of CFRP is explored to obtain the best layering scheme. …”
