Abstract

The efficiency of Simple Genetic Algorithm (SGA) can be improved by some strategies. They are elitest strategy, multi-point crossover, identification of passive design variables, gradual increase of penalty parameter, and bit-wise local search. Topology optimization using GA is also discussed in this paper and examples are given. Five numerical examples show the efficiency and the optimum solutions of GA are greatly improved by these strategies. © 1997 John Wiley & sons, Ltd.
