Robust Optimization Based on an Improved Genetic Algorithm

Article Preview

Abstract:

An improved genetic algorithm is applied to solve the problem of the robust optimization for structures under complicated loading. The objective function is constructed by signal-to-noise ratio of Taguchi target. Numerical examples demonstrated that the improved genetic algorithm combined with the robust design method can effectively solve the problem of the robust optimization for structures under complicated loading with uncertain parameters.
