A proposed iteration optimization approach integrating backpropagation neural network with genetic algorithm

作者:

Highlights:

• A hybrid optimization approach integrating both BPNN and GA is proposed.

• Standard Levenberg–Marquardt training algorithm is modified to accelerate the BPNN convergence.

• Simulated annealing algorithm is embedded into GA to enhance its local searching ability.

• Effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated via its application in an engineering field.

• Results show that desired thickness in blow molded parts can be obtained via only fewer experimental trials.
