Artificial Immune System in Topology Optimization of Mechanical Structures

Abstract:

The paper deals with an application of the artificial immune system (AIS) to the optimization of shape, topology and material properties of 3-D structures. Structures considered in this work are analyzed by the finite element method (FEM). Optimization criteria that are taken into account concern minimize mass and of elastic strain energy. Numerical examples demonstrate that the method based on soft computing is a very effective technique for solving computer aided optimal design.
