Abstract:
In the field of modern optimization, heuristic algorithms are widely used in
various optimization tasks due to their excellent performance on complex
problems. This paper proposes a new heuristic optimization algorithm, the
Advanced Ceramic Process Heuristic Optimization Algorithm (ACP-MO).
Inspired by the ceramic machining process, the algorithm uses forming
operations and reverse design repair strategies to simulate the dynamic
process in ceramic machining. By optimizing 10 typical test functions, the
experimental results show that ACP-MO outperforms multiple common
algorithms in terms of optimization accuracy. ACP-MO refers to the three-
stage optimization process of the advanced ceramic manufacturing process,
which includes the forming stage, sintering stage and repair stage. These
three stages correspond to exploration, quality assessment and local
refinement, respectively. A new integration of temperature control
convergence, Gaussian perturbation and inverse design heuristic correction
mechanism is introduced, which provides a new perspective for the design
and development of meta-heuristic algorithms.
Keywords:
Heuristic optimization, Ceramic technology, Global optimization, Algorithm comparison, Metaheuristic algorithm
