Abstract

SGA(Single Genetic Algorithm) is a heuristic global optimization method based on the natural characteristics and uses many populations and stochastic rules. Therefore SGA needs many function evaluations and takes much time for convergence. In order to solve the demerits of SGA, ${\mu}GA$(Micro-Genetic Algorithm) has recently been developed. In this study, ${\mu}GA$ which have small populations and fast convergence rate, was applied to structural optimization with discrete or integer variables such as 3, 10 and 25 bar trusses. The optimized results of ${\mu}GA$ were compared with those of SGA. Solutions of ${\mu}GA$ for structural optimization were very similar or superior to those of SGA, and faster convergence rate was obtained. From the results of examples, it is found that ${\mu}GA$ is a suitable and very efficient optimization algorithm for structural design.
