MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION DESIGN OF ROADHEADER’S CUTTING HEAD BASED ON THE GA by ZHAO LiJuan, FAN JiaYi

“…In order to improve the dynamic reliability of the roadheader,the roadheader’s rigid-flexible coupled model was established based on virtual prototyp,dynamic reliability analysis was done on the rotary table of different structural parameters,evaluation function was established based on mechanical optimization design theory,the function’s design variables was half cone angle,helix Angle and cutting line spacing, the function’s objective function was the minimization of maximum equivalent stress as the objective function.The cutting head’s optimal structural parameters was obtained by genetic algorithm.Based on the cutting productivity and rotary table equivalent stress, the optimal yawing speed was obtained by optimized multi-objective.The results shows that after two optimizations,rotary table maximum stress is decreased 18.495 MPa,the fatigue life is improved from 3.067 E4 to 3.326 E6,productivity is improved 18.6 t/h,prediction error is less than 1.3%,meet the design requirement.This method provides data support for the structure and kinematic parameters of cutting head,provides a new method for the optimization design of heavy complicated mechanical equipment.…”

Evolution of local heterogeneity towards flat free energy landscape: Optimization of piezoelectric response in PNN-PZ-PT at morphotropic phase boundary by Shubham Modgil, Varun Kamboj, Mukul Kumar, Arun Kumar Singh, Shobhna Dhiman, Gyaneshwar Sharma, OP Thakur, Sanjeev Kumar

“…A more exotic and technologically appealing phase is unlocked when ternary-based morphotropic phase boundary compositions are formulated via revisiting the thermal and compositional stability. Local structure heterogeneity is another generic route towards optimization of the piezoelectric performance via rare earth doping, as rare-earth doping introduces the local structural distortions. …”

Is Per Capita Real GDP Stationary in G-7 Countries? New Evidence from A Fourier Panel Unit Root Test by Tunahan Hacıimamoğlu

“…Accordingly, the aim of this study is to investigate whether per capita real GDP in G-7 countries followed a stationary process between 1970-2019 with a stronger unit-root test (BCIPS) that takes into consideration cross-section dependence, multi-factor structure, and structural changes. Empirical results reveal that per capita real GDP for G-7 countries has a stationary structure. …”
