Abstract

Abstract This paper presents a genetic algorithm method for the optimization of the weight of steel truss structures. In the method of genetic algorithm integer encoding of a discrete set of design variables and novel self-adaptive method based on fuzzy logic mechanism are applied for improving the quality and speed of optimization. Self-adaptive method is applied simultaneously in the selection of chromosomes and to control basic parameters of genetic algorithm. The algorithm proposed in the work was tested on the examples of optimization of steel trusses. Obtained results proved the effectiveness of genetic algorithm in relation to classical genetic algorithm.
