Abstract
In this paper, we formulate an optimal weight design problem of herica l spring for a constrained allowable shearing stress, number of active coils and coil's mean diameter as a nonlinear integer programming(NIP ) problem and solve it directly by keeping the nonlinear constraint by using an improved genetic algorithm (GA). We discuss the efficency of the propose method. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
