LEAST WEIGHT DESIGN OF SPACE TRUSSES BY USING VALUE ENCODING IN GA WITH DISCRETE DESIGN VARIABLES

Abstract

Genetic Algorithm (GA) is an optimization technique based on mechanism of natural selection and uses a population consisting of solution string. In this study, a GA program by using value encoding with discrete design variables developed for the least weight design of truss structures is presented. GA program coded in FORTRAN includes stress, stability and displacement constraints. For the analysis of truss structures, Matrix Analysis of Structures is used. To demonstrate the efficiency of GA program, design examples are solved and results obtained in this study are compared with the results given in the literature. It is concluded that the program coded by using value encoding in genetic algorithm can be effectively used in the least weight design of truss structures.
