Genetic algorithms in truss topological optimization
The paper describes the use of a stochastic search procedure that is the basis of genetic algorithms, in developing near-optimal topologies of load-bearing truss structures. The approach is an adaptation of the ground structure method of topology optimization, and is implemented in a two-level genetic algorithm-based search. In this process, the kinematic stability constraints are imposed at one level, followed by the treatment of response constraints at a second level of optimization. Singular value decomposition is used to assess the kinematic stability constraints at the first level of design, and results in the creation of a finite number of increasing weight, stable topologies. Member sizing is then introduced at a second level of design, where minimal weight and response constraints on stresses, displacements and buckling are simultaneously considered. At this level, the only admissible topologies are those identified during the first stage and any stable combination thereof. The design variable representation scheme allows for both the removal and addition of structural members during optimization.
