摘要: This paper presents three case studies on structural optimisation. In the first study a nonconventional approach is adopted to deliver an integrated design of trusses. This method, compared traditional methods, while significantly less demanding in terms computational power, produces reasonable solutions, superior sequential designs. This realised by defining new parameter connecting qualities one domain variables another. The second study, defined topology (aerodynamic) optimisation wind turbine blades, describes crossover allowing incorporating more specific knowledge search. The third explains software tool developed for cellular structures, taking advantage high fidelity finite element analysis ANSYS, genetic algorithm.
