Optimization of Shape, Size, and Topology Design Variables in Trusses with a Genetic Algorithm
Briggs' genetic algorithm was extended in the Gillman algorithm to include shape optimization of trusses. Other contributions include value representation, different member linking, alternate genes, automatic k-factor evaluation for buckling, and the option to prevent overlapping members. The p...
