ANN-Based Structure Optimization with Fatigue Reliability Constrains

Article Preview

Abstract:

The ANN-based optimization for considering fatigue reliability requirements in structural optimization was proposed. The ANN-based response surface method was employed for performing fatigue reliability analysis. The fatigue reliability requirements were considered as constraints while the weight as the objective function, the ANN model was adopted to establish the relationship between the fatigue reliability and geometry dimension of the structure, the optimal results of the structure with a minimum weight was reached.
