Design optimization of discrete structural systems using MPI-enabled genetic algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
The focus of this paper is on the development and implementation of a genetic algorithm (GA)-based software system using message passing interface (MPI) protocol and library. A customized and improved form of simple GA used in previous research (Chen et al. 1997; Chen and Rajan 1998, 2000; Rajan et al. 1999) is parallelized. This MPI-enabled version is used to find the solution to finite element-based design optimization problems in a network of workstations. Results show that an almost linear speedup is obtained on homogenous hardware cluster and, with a proper load-balancing strategy, on heterogeneous hardware cluster.

متن کاملSTRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION USING A MUTATION-BASED GENETIC ALGORITHM
The present study is an attempt to propose a mutation-based real-coded genetic algorithm (MBRCGA) for sizing and layout optimization of planar and spatial truss structures. The Gaussian mutation operator is used to create the reproduction operators. An adaptive tournament selection mechanism in combination with adaptive Gaussian mutation operators are proposed to achieve an effective search in ...

In this paper a league championship algorithm (LCA) is developed for structural optimization where the optimization variables are of discrete type and the set of the values possibly obtained by each variable is also given. LCA is a relatively new metaheuristic algorithm inspired from sport championship process. In LCA, each individual can choose to approach to or retreat from other individuals ...
متن کاملA Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm for Truss Structures with Discrete Variables
A new hybrid algorithm of Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm (PSOGA) is presented to get the optimum design of truss structures with discrete design variables. The objective function chosen in this paper is the total weight of the truss structure, which depends on upper and lower bounds in the form of stress and displacement limits. The Particle Swarm Optimization basically model...
متن کاملDISCRETE SIZE AND DISCRETE-CONTINUOUS CONFIGURATION OPTIMIZATION METHODS FOR TRUSS STRUCTURES USING THE HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM
Many methods have been developed for structural size and configuration optimization in which cross-sectional areas are usually assumed to be continuous. In most practical structural engineering design problems, however, the design variables are discrete. This paper proposes two efficient structural optimization methods based on the harmony search (HS) heuristic algorithm that treat both discret...
