Forming A Structural Design USING genetic algorithm and Delaunay tetrahedral partition
Abstract
The computing circuit for finding the optimal shape of structural design, based on the use of algorithms Delaunay tetrahedral partition with constraints and evolutionary modeling is developed. The structure design is synthesized on a set of given set of nodes in a fixed number of rods. Formed structures are optimized using a genetic algorithm the criterion of minimum weight design. The example of synthesis in terms of a rectangular plate illustrates the structural performance of the proposed approach to forming rod systems of this type.
