Abstract

En 中文
This paper aims to formulate the multi-objective structural optimization problem to find the best member group-ing of truss structures. The weight of the structure and the different number of discrete cross-sectional areas are the conflicting objective functions to be minimized simultaneously, generating a Pareto front presenting the non-dominated solutions. Sixteen multi-objective evolutionary algorithms are adopted to solve the proposed optimization problems. Several benchmark problems and a new proposed optimization problem are analyzed. Even though original groupings based on symmetry are defined, it is possible to discover other competitive structural member configurations that can interest decision-makers regarding manufacturing, cutting, transportation, checking, and welding.
