1 Introduction
New marine reciprocating compressors must have highpower high pressure ratio and slight vibration and beenvironmentally friendly with the development of marinenatural gas boosting and gathering [1] Therefore the effectof each component of the compressors on its overall perfor-mance should be investigated in detail Crankshaft systemsof reciprocating compressors have an effective influence oncompressor performance being themain part responsible forvibration production [2]
The high-power reciprocating compressors are designedto run onshore accordingly the support of compressorscannot match the crankshaft structure parameters and thereare some drawbacks such as loud noise and high vibrationintensity caused by gas force reciprocating inertia force andcentrifugal forcewhen it is used offshore [3ndash5] Consequentlythe parameters of crankshaft structure should be changedTo study parameters effect will face longer time periodhigher experimental cost and complicated verification pro-cess through the experiment of compressor [6]
The crankshaft structure is a complex engineering sys-tem involving structural mechanics mechanical vibrationand noise and man-machine-environment engineering Thecrankshaft structure design is a complex multidisciplinaryand multistage design process relating to high correlationand coupling between all disciplines The whole processcan be described by a complex function The optimizedparameters combination of crankshaft structure is obtainedby iterating and optimizing Consequently it is a key factorto choose a suitable algorithm to solve this issue Studieson crankshaft of reciprocating compressors mainly focus onvibration and stress analyses [7ndash10] Although stress analysesof crankshafts are available in literature there are few studieson the optimization of crankshaft Almasi [6] optimizedthe configuration of the compressor critical components toimprove the performance and reliability Yang et al [11] intro-duced a new approach to analyses vibration performanceof small reciprocating compressor on the basis of artificialneural networks and support vector machines And theclassification of compressor is achieved Benini [12] proposed

a multiobjective optimization algorithm in transonic com-pressor rotor structure and improved the pressure ratio Hoet al [13] improved the crankshaft reliability by Monte Carlosimulation on the basis of the finite element model Althoughthe algorithms mentioned earlier are effective in obtainingthe optimal solution comprehensive design is difficult toachieve by single discipline Therefore multidisciplinarydesign optimization (MDO) theory is necessary to achievethe comprehensive design of crankshaft [14 15]
Although multiple parameters affect the performance ofcompressor the amount of data obtained by compressorexperiment is limited The EBFNN theory is good at solvingsmall sample learning problems [16 17] Due to its strongability of nonlinear function approximation and excellentgeneralization capacity EBFNN has been widely used in thefield of industrial engineering
In this paper the coupling and interdisciplinary rela-tionships of mechanical properties NVH and lightweightare considered and the MDO technology roadmap of thereciprocating compressorwas proposed on the basis of virtualproving ground (VPG) technology Cooptimization based onEBFNN and multi-island genetic algorithm is applied to themultiobjective optimization of crankshaft structure in orderto gain the Pareto optimal solution set
2 MDO of the Crankshaft Structure
TheMDO theory is applied in crankshaft structure design onthe basis ofVPGTheflowchart of the enforceable technologyroadmap is shown in Figure 1
The crankshaft MDO issues mainly focus on the effectiveoptimization strategy to achieve concurrent design of multi-disciplinary subsystems and obtain the satisfactory solutionThe strategy combines the knowledge from different sub-jects with optimization algorithm and develops an effectivemethod to solve the complex problems [18 19]
The MDO optimization framework can be divided intosingle-stage and multiple-stage The single-stage optimiza-tion framework is composed of multidisciplinary feasiblemethod (MDF) and individual discipline feasible method(IDF) The multistage optimization framework consists ofconcurrent subspace optimization (CSSO) cooptimization(CO) and bilevel integrated (Bliss)
In this paper the CO ismainly studied CO is amultistageMDO algorithm on the basis of the optimization algorithmunder consistency constraints It divides the crankshaftMDO issues into one system-level optimization and multiplesubsystem-level optimization
The system-level optimization objective of crankshaft canbe expressed as
min 119865 (119885)

With the given crankshaftMOP issue the Pareto optimalsolution can be defined as follows if and only if there exists nofeasible solution (119909
119861belongs to119883) which makes 119865(119909
119861) better
than 119865(119909119860) will 119909
119860belongs to119883 be one of the Pareto optimal
solutions Hence the optimal Pareto set can be represented as
119909119891

Inevitably the MDO of the crankshaft is accompanied bythe MOP of the crankshaft MOP of the crankshaft cannotachieve best possible optimization of all objectives simultane-ously and arbitrary solution of Pareto set will possibly becomethe satisfactory solution
32 Solving of MOP The evaluation methods of MOP canbe divided into global optimization algorithms and localoptimization algorithmsThe global optimization algorithmsinclude genetic algorithm simulated annealing algorithmparticle swarm optimization and ant colony algorithm Dueto their high capability of global search high speeds of con-vergence and search results independent on starting pointthe global optimization algorithms are capable of solving highdimensional and nonlinear problems But the computationmight be expensive and sometimes unsatisfactory local opti-mization effect [20ndash22] The local optimization algorithmsinclude constraint algorithm weighting algorithm distance

41 NVH Simulation of Crankshaft The modal analysis isan important part of dynamic analysis in reciprocatingcompressor machine system which can help us understandthe dynamic characteristic of the system The natural fre-quency of crankshaft is usually calculated to avoid resonancesduring use in the design of NVH Severe deforming partsof crankshaft are observed to judge the strength of thecorresponding structure which may become noise vibrationsource or main transfer path and should be modified early
There are 269612 entity units and 452154 nodes on thefinite element model of crankshaft NVH The characteristicof NVH is studied by crankshaftmodal analysis and torsionalvibration
The crankshaft modal is computed by ANSYS underfree boundary Therefore the first-order natural frequency is41413Hz The second-order natural frequency is 4354Hz
In the process of the torsional vibration analysis themodal superpositionmethod is used to simplify the finite ele-ment of crankshaft The elastic deformation of the structureis solved approximately by linear combination of suitablemodes which can be shown as follows

a multiobjective optimization algorithm in transonic com-pressor rotor structure and improved the pressure ratio Hoet al [13] improved the crankshaft reliability by Monte Carlosimulation on the basis of the finite element model Althoughthe algorithms mentioned earlier are effective in obtainingthe optimal solution comprehensive design is difficult toachieve by single discipline Therefore multidisciplinarydesign optimization (MDO) theory is necessary to achievethe comprehensive design of crankshaft [14 15]
Although multiple parameters affect the performance ofcompressor the amount of data obtained by compressorexperiment is limited The EBFNN theory is good at solvingsmall sample learning problems [16 17] Due to its strongability of nonlinear function approximation and excellentgeneralization capacity EBFNN has been widely used in thefield of industrial engineering
In this paper the coupling and interdisciplinary rela-tionships of mechanical properties NVH and lightweightare considered and the MDO technology roadmap of thereciprocating compressorwas proposed on the basis of virtualproving ground (VPG) technology Cooptimization based onEBFNN and multi-island genetic algorithm is applied to themultiobjective optimization of crankshaft structure in orderto gain the Pareto optimal solution set
2 MDO of the Crankshaft Structure
TheMDO theory is applied in crankshaft structure design onthe basis ofVPGTheflowchart of the enforceable technologyroadmap is shown in Figure 1
The crankshaft MDO issues mainly focus on the effectiveoptimization strategy to achieve concurrent design of multi-disciplinary subsystems and obtain the satisfactory solutionThe strategy combines the knowledge from different sub-jects with optimization algorithm and develops an effectivemethod to solve the complex problems [18 19]
The MDO optimization framework can be divided intosingle-stage and multiple-stage The single-stage optimiza-tion framework is composed of multidisciplinary feasiblemethod (MDF) and individual discipline feasible method(IDF) The multistage optimization framework consists ofconcurrent subspace optimization (CSSO) cooptimization(CO) and bilevel integrated (Bliss)
In this paper the CO ismainly studied CO is amultistageMDO algorithm on the basis of the optimization algorithmunder consistency constraints It divides the crankshaftMDO issues into one system-level optimization and multiplesubsystem-level optimization
The system-level optimization objective of crankshaft canbe expressed as

With the given crankshaftMOP issue the Pareto optimalsolution can be defined as follows if and only if there exists nofeasible solution (119909
119861belongs to119883) which makes 119865(119909
119861) better
than 119865(119909119860) will 119909
119860belongs to119883 be one of the Pareto optimal
solutions Hence the optimal Pareto set can be represented as

Inevitably the MDO of the crankshaft is accompanied bythe MOP of the crankshaft MOP of the crankshaft cannotachieve best possible optimization of all objectives simultane-ously and arbitrary solution of Pareto set will possibly becomethe satisfactory solution
32 Solving of MOP The evaluation methods of MOP canbe divided into global optimization algorithms and localoptimization algorithmsThe global optimization algorithmsinclude genetic algorithm simulated annealing algorithmparticle swarm optimization and ant colony algorithm Dueto their high capability of global search high speeds of con-vergence and search results independent on starting pointthe global optimization algorithms are capable of solving highdimensional and nonlinear problems But the computationmight be expensive and sometimes unsatisfactory local opti-mization effect [20ndash22] The local optimization algorithmsinclude constraint algorithm weighting algorithm distance

4 Multiobjective Optimization of Crankshaft
41 NVH Simulation of Crankshaft The modal analysis isan important part of dynamic analysis in reciprocatingcompressor machine system which can help us understandthe dynamic characteristic of the system The natural fre-quency of crankshaft is usually calculated to avoid resonancesduring use in the design of NVH Severe deforming partsof crankshaft are observed to judge the strength of thecorresponding structure which may become noise vibrationsource or main transfer path and should be modified early
There are 269612 entity units and 452154 nodes on thefinite element model of crankshaft NVH The characteristicof NVH is studied by crankshaftmodal analysis and torsionalvibration
The crankshaft modal is computed by ANSYS underfree boundary Therefore the first-order natural frequency is41413Hz The second-order natural frequency is 4354Hz
In the process of the torsional vibration analysis themodal superpositionmethod is used to simplify the finite ele-ment of crankshaft The elastic deformation of the structureis solved approximately by linear combination of suitablemodes which can be shown as follows

6 Conclusions
(1) The multidisciplinary optimization considering thecrankshaft modal torsional angular vibration max-imum stress over a period time and maximumload on the main bearings is operated on the basisof multi-island genetic algorithm which can effec-tively improve the comprehensive property of thecrankshaft
(2) The parallel computing in multidisciplinary opti-mization is operated on the basis of the combinationof elliptical basis function neural network theoryand cooptimization method which can enhance theoptimization efficiency so as to reduce product devel-opment cycle and costs
(3) During the design optimization process of thecrankshaft structure the reliability design is com-bined with the cooptimization method And theoptimization of the crankshaft is operated on the basisof multi-island genetic algorithm combined withdesign of experiment The optimization can not onlycontrol the system uncertainty but also ensure thereliability and robustness of the final optimal resultsof the crankshaft structure

The meaning of the symbols in the formula is shown asfollows

With the given crankshaftMOP issue the Pareto optimalsolution can be defined as follows if and only if there exists nofeasible solution (119909
119861belongs to119883) which makes 119865(119909
119861) better
than 119865(119909119860) will 119909
119860belongs to119883 be one of the Pareto optimal
solutions Hence the optimal Pareto set can be represented as
119909119891
= 119909119860

Inevitably the MDO of the crankshaft is accompanied bythe MOP of the crankshaft MOP of the crankshaft cannotachieve best possible optimization of all objectives simultane-ously and arbitrary solution of Pareto set will possibly becomethe satisfactory solution
32 Solving of MOP The evaluation methods of MOP canbe divided into global optimization algorithms and localoptimization algorithmsThe global optimization algorithmsinclude genetic algorithm simulated annealing algorithmparticle swarm optimization and ant colony algorithm Dueto their high capability of global search high speeds of con-vergence and search results independent on starting pointthe global optimization algorithms are capable of solving highdimensional and nonlinear problems But the computationmight be expensive and sometimes unsatisfactory local opti-mization effect [20ndash22] The local optimization algorithmsinclude constraint algorithm weighting algorithm distance

4 Multiobjective Optimization of Crankshaft
41 NVH Simulation of Crankshaft The modal analysis isan important part of dynamic analysis in reciprocatingcompressor machine system which can help us understandthe dynamic characteristic of the system The natural fre-quency of crankshaft is usually calculated to avoid resonancesduring use in the design of NVH Severe deforming partsof crankshaft are observed to judge the strength of thecorresponding structure which may become noise vibrationsource or main transfer path and should be modified early
There are 269612 entity units and 452154 nodes on thefinite element model of crankshaft NVH The characteristicof NVH is studied by crankshaftmodal analysis and torsionalvibration
The crankshaft modal is computed by ANSYS underfree boundary Therefore the first-order natural frequency is41413Hz The second-order natural frequency is 4354Hz
In the process of the torsional vibration analysis themodal superpositionmethod is used to simplify the finite ele-ment of crankshaft The elastic deformation of the structureis solved approximately by linear combination of suitablemodes which can be shown as follows
[119906] = [120593] [119902] (5)

6 Conclusions
(1) The multidisciplinary optimization considering thecrankshaft modal torsional angular vibration max-imum stress over a period time and maximumload on the main bearings is operated on the basisof multi-island genetic algorithm which can effec-tively improve the comprehensive property of thecrankshaft
(2) The parallel computing in multidisciplinary opti-mization is operated on the basis of the combinationof elliptical basis function neural network theoryand cooptimization method which can enhance theoptimization efficiency so as to reduce product devel-opment cycle and costs
(3) During the design optimization process of thecrankshaft structure the reliability design is com-bined with the cooptimization method And theoptimization of the crankshaft is operated on the basisof multi-island genetic algorithm combined withdesign of experiment The optimization can not onlycontrol the system uncertainty but also ensure thereliability and robustness of the final optimal resultsof the crankshaft structure

6 Conclusions
(1) The multidisciplinary optimization considering thecrankshaft modal torsional angular vibration max-imum stress over a period time and maximumload on the main bearings is operated on the basisof multi-island genetic algorithm which can effec-tively improve the comprehensive property of thecrankshaft
(2) The parallel computing in multidisciplinary opti-mization is operated on the basis of the combinationof elliptical basis function neural network theoryand cooptimization method which can enhance theoptimization efficiency so as to reduce product devel-opment cycle and costs
(3) During the design optimization process of thecrankshaft structure the reliability design is com-bined with the cooptimization method And theoptimization of the crankshaft is operated on the basisof multi-island genetic algorithm combined withdesign of experiment The optimization can not onlycontrol the system uncertainty but also ensure thereliability and robustness of the final optimal resultsof the crankshaft structure

6 Conclusions
(1) The multidisciplinary optimization considering thecrankshaft modal torsional angular vibration max-imum stress over a period time and maximumload on the main bearings is operated on the basisof multi-island genetic algorithm which can effec-tively improve the comprehensive property of thecrankshaft
(2) The parallel computing in multidisciplinary opti-mization is operated on the basis of the combinationof elliptical basis function neural network theoryand cooptimization method which can enhance theoptimization efficiency so as to reduce product devel-opment cycle and costs
(3) During the design optimization process of thecrankshaft structure the reliability design is com-bined with the cooptimization method And theoptimization of the crankshaft is operated on the basisof multi-island genetic algorithm combined withdesign of experiment The optimization can not onlycontrol the system uncertainty but also ensure thereliability and robustness of the final optimal resultsof the crankshaft structure

6 Conclusions
(1) The multidisciplinary optimization considering thecrankshaft modal torsional angular vibration max-imum stress over a period time and maximumload on the main bearings is operated on the basisof multi-island genetic algorithm which can effec-tively improve the comprehensive property of thecrankshaft
(2) The parallel computing in multidisciplinary opti-mization is operated on the basis of the combinationof elliptical basis function neural network theoryand cooptimization method which can enhance theoptimization efficiency so as to reduce product devel-opment cycle and costs
(3) During the design optimization process of thecrankshaft structure the reliability design is com-bined with the cooptimization method And theoptimization of the crankshaft is operated on the basisof multi-island genetic algorithm combined withdesign of experiment The optimization can not onlycontrol the system uncertainty but also ensure thereliability and robustness of the final optimal resultsof the crankshaft structure
