Load Distribution of Evolutionary Algorithm for Complex-Process Optimization Based on Differential Evolutionary Strategy in Hot Rolling Process

Abstract EN

Based on the hot rolling process, a load distribution optimization model is established, which includes rolling force model, thickness distribution model, and temperature model.

The rolling force ratio distribution and good strip shape are integrated as two indicators of objective function in the optimization model.

Then, the evolutionary algorithm for complex-process optimization (EACOP) is introduced in the following optimization algorithm.

Due to its flexible framework structure on search mechanism, the EACOP is improved within differential evolutionary strategy, for better coverage speed and search efficiency.

At last, the experimental and simulation result shows that evolutionary algorithm for complex-process optimization based on differential evolutionary strategy (DEACOP) is the organism including local search and global search.

The comparison with experience distribution and EACOP shows that DEACOP is able to use fewer adjustable parameters and more efficient population differential strategy during solution searching; meanwhile it still can get feasible mathematical solution for actual load distribution problems in hot rolling process.
