Intelligent Layout for Pipeline Supports of Nuclear Power Plant under Complex Load
Nowadays,the arrangement of pipeline supports for nuclear power plants is achieved by iterative manual calculations,which had many drawbacks such as high labour intensity,long design cycles,and high costs.An intelligent layout method for three-dimensional nuclear power pipeline sup-ports was proposed based on particle swarm optimization-genetic algorithm hybrid algorithm and finite element mechanics analysis.The examples of intelligent arrangement of pipeline supports for typical nuclear pipelines show that the proposed method may automatically arrange multiple supports of dif-ferent types in the global space of the pipeline to meet the Design and Construction Rules for Mechan-ical Equipment of Nuclear Island of Nuclear Power Plants,and greatly reduce workload.
