Conceptual design using multilevel continuum structural topology optimization
ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my deep gratitude to my advisor, Professor Colby C. Swan for all of his patient guidance, valuable advice, and enthusiastic encouragement, and belief throughout my research work at The University of Iowa. His willingness to motivate me contributed tremendously to my research. The knowledge I have gained from Professor Swan is invaluable. and Professor ...
متن کاملGenetic Algorithms as an Approach to Configuration and Topology Design
The genetic algorithm, a search and optimization technique based on the theory of natural selection, is applied to problems of structural topology design. An overview of the genetic algorithm will first describe the genetics-based representations and operators used in a typical genetic algorithm search. Then, a review of previous research in structural optimization is provided. A discretized de...
متن کاملVariable Chromosome Length Genetic Algorithm for Structural Topology Design Optimization
This article introduces the concept of variable chromosome lengths in the context of an adaptive genetic algorithm (GA). This concept is applied to structural topology optimization with large numbers of design variables. In traditional genetic algorithms, the chromosome length is determined when the phenotype is encoded into a genotype. Subsequently, the chromosome length does not change. This ...
متن کاملTopology Design of Feedforward Neural Networks by Genetic Algorithms
For many applications feedforward neural networks have proved to be a valuable tool. Although the basic principles of employing such networks are quite straightforward, the problem of tuning their architectures to achieve near optimal performance still remains a very challenging task. Genetic algorithms may be used to solve this problem, since they have a number of distinct features that are us...
متن کاملDesign of genetic algorithms for topology control of unmanned vehicles
We present genetic algorithms (GAs) as a decentralised topology control mechanism distributed among active running software agents to achieve a uniform spread of terrestrial unmanned vehicles (UVs) over an unknown geographical area. This problem becomes more challenging under the harsh and bandwidth limited conditions of military applications. Using only local neighbour information, a GA guides...
