Hybrid genetic algorithms for parameter identification of a hysteresis model of magnetostrictive actuators
In this paper, we present an improved hysteresis model for magnetostrictive actuators. To obtain optimal parameters of the model, we study two distinct hybrid strategies: namely, employing a gradient algorithm as a local search operation of a genetic algorithm (GA), and taking the best individual of a GA as the initial value of a gradient algorithm. Here, two different gradient algorithms, a well-known LevenbergMarquardt algorithm (LMA) and a novel Trust-Region algorithm (TRA), are investigated. Finally, the proposed four hybrid genetic algorithms (HGAs) are applied to identify parameters of the improved model. The simulation and experimental results show the performances of the HGAs and the improved hysteresis model.
