Abstract

This paper uses genetic algorithm to handle the topology and sizing optimization of truss structures, in which a sparse node matrix encoding approach is used and individual identification technique is employed to avoid duplicate structural analysis to save computation time. It is observed that NSGA-II could not improve the convergence of non-dominated front at latter generations when solving multi-objective topology and sizing optimization of truss structures. Therefore, an adaptive multi-island search strategy for multi-objective optimization problem (AMISS-MOP) is developed to enhance the convergence. Meanwhile, an elitist strategy based on archive set is introduced to reduce the size of non-dominated sorting to improve computation efficiency. Two numeric examples are presented to demonstrate the performance of AMISS-MOP. Results show that the global Pareto front could be found by AMISS-MOP, the convergence is improved as generation increases, and the time spent on non-dominated sorting is reduced.
