TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF SPACE STRUCTURES USING ANT COLONY METHOD
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
In this article, the ant colony method is utilized for topology optimization of space structures. Strain energy of the structure is minimized while the material volume is limited to a certain amount. In other words, the stiffest possible structure is sought when certain given materials are used. In addition, a noise cleaning technique is addressed to prevent undesirable members in optimum topology. The performance of the method for topology optimization of space structures are demonstrated by three numerical examples.

We describe an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm for solving a single machine scheduling problem. In the operating situation modeled, setup times are sequence dependent and the objective is to minimize total tardiness. This problem has previously been treated by Rubin & Ragatz [1995] and by Tan et al. [2000] among others. A new feature using look-ahead information in the transition rule o...

In this paper an Ant Colony (ACO) algorithm is developed to solve aircraft recovery while considering disrupted passengers as part of objective function cost. By defining the recovery scope, the solution always guarantees a return to the original aircraft schedule as soon as possible which means least changes to the initial schedule and ensures that all downline affects of the disruption are ...
متن کاملTOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF PLANE STRUCTURES USING BINARY LEVEL SET METHOD AND ISOGEOMETRIC ANALYSIS
This paper presents the topology optimization of plane structures using a binary level set (BLS) approach and isogeometric analysis (IGA). In the standard level set method, the domain boundary is descripted as an isocountour of a scalar function of a higher dimensionality. The evolution of this boundary is governed by Hamilton–Jacobi equation. In the BLS method, the interfaces of subdomai...
