A Heterogeneous Strategy Genetic Algorithm and its Application in Dynamic Optimization of Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

Heterogeneous strategy is used to improve genetic algorithm. It can increase the population diversity and avoid premature while the convergence efficiency is ensured. Furthermore, an expression to estimate the extent of inbreeding and two methods for selecting heterogeneity were given, and, an improved generalized genetic algorithm was presented in this paper. This algorithm is used for multi-parameter dynamic optimization of the structure which is under random loads and has stress constrains. Numerical examples demonstrated that heterogeneous strategy can improve the probability of convergence to global optimal solution and the improved generalized genetic.
