Abstract
En 中文
The structure integrity of reactor pressure vessels (RPV) plays an important role in the safety of nuclear power plants, which mainly concerns the risk of sealing failure. In the present work, a hybrid method consisting of an artificial neural network (ANN) and multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) is proposed, aiming to find an optimized RPV structure with improved sealing performance. The ANN model provides a more accurate prediction of sealing performance than the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) model. There is also a better generalization ability in the ANN model with R2 above 0.96 and RMSE below 0.06 in the test set. With ANN as a surrogate model, multi-objective optimization is applied in RPV structure design. Compared with that of the original RPV structure, the sealing performance can be improved by even over 25% in the optimized structure. The application of ANN surrogate models can save more than 99% computation cost, compared with optimization based on finite element analysis (FEA).
