Abstract
A hybrid model integrating chaos theory, support vector machine (SVM) and the difference evolution grey wolf optimization (DEGWO) algorithm is developed to analyze and predict dam deformation. Firstly, the chaotic characteristics of the dam deformation time series will be identified, mainly using the Lyapunov exponent method, the correlation dimension method and the kolmogorov entropy method. Secondly, the hybrid model is established for dam deformation forecasting. Taking SVM as the core, the deformation time series is reconstructed in phase space to determine the input variables of SVM, and the GWO algorithm is improved to realize the optimization of SVM parameters. Prior to this, the effectiveness of DEGWO algorithm based on the fusion of the difference evolution (DE) and GWO algorithm has been verified by 15 sets of test functions in CEC 2005. Finally, take the actual monitoring displacement of Jinping I super-high arch dam as examples. The engineering application examples show that the PSR-SVM-DEGWO model established performs better in terms of fitting and prediction accuracy compared with existing models.
