Structural Topology Optimization Using a Genetic Algorithm and a Morphological Representation of Geometry

Structural Topology Optimization Using a Genetic Algorithm and a Morphological Representation of Geometry

This paper describes an intuitive way of defining geometry design variables for solving structural topology optimization problems using a genetic algorithm (GA). The geometry representation scheme works by defining a skeleton that represents the underlying topology/connectivity of the continuum stru...
