Parameter Identification of a Stress Relaxation Model Based on Differential Evolution Algorithm

Abstract:

In order to determine the parameters of a stress relaxation model based on Altenbach-Gorash-Naumenko creep equations, an efficient parameter identification scheme is discussed. The differential evolution (DE) algorithm is used in the identification procedure with a modified forward-Euler scheme. The model parameters of 1Cr-0.5Mo-0.25V stainless steel bolting material at 500°C have been determined, and the creep and stress relaxation behaviors have been calculated. Comparing with a step-by-step model parameter determination technology and the genetic algorithm (GA), it shows that the DE algorithm has better convergence property and suitability for parallelization, and no need of initial guesses close to the solution. Results indicate that the optimum solutions can be obtained more easily by DE algorithm than others.
