T. Yokota et al., A SOLUTION METHOD FOR OPTIMAL WEIGHT DESIGN PROBLEM OF 10 BAR TRUSS USING GENETIC ALGORITHMS, Computers & industrial engineering, 35(1-2), 1998, pp. 367-372
In this paper, we formulate an optimal weight design problem of 10 bar
truss for a constrained displacement and allowable stress as a static
ally indeterminate structure problem and solve it directly by keeping
the constraint based on an improved genetic algorithm (GA). We discuss
the efficiency between the proposed method and the discretized optima
lity criteria methods. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reser
