Fit of the highly nonlinear functional relationship between input variables and output response is important and challenging for the optical machine structure optimization design process. The backpropagation neural network method based on particle swarm optimization and Bayesian regularization algorithms (called BMPB) is proposed to solve this problem. A prediction model of the mass and first-order modal frequency of the supporting structure is developed using the supporting structure as an example. The first-order modal frequency is used as the constraint condition to optimize the lightweight design of the supporting structure’s mass. Results show that the prediction model has more than 99% accuracy in predicting the mass and the first-order modal frequency of the supporting structure, and converges quickly in the supporting structure’s mass-optimization process. The supporting structure results demonstrate the advantages of the method proposed in the article in terms of high accuracy and efficiency. The study in this paper provides an effective method for the optimized design of optical machine structures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
