β¦ Synopsis
Asymmetrical designs are now widely used in the industrial world. However, the traditional methods to construct them are very poor and difficult to handle. To construct experimental design in 'non-standard' occurrences, algorithmic methods, such as Fedorov's or Mitchell's algorithms, are broadly used. But in case of high dimensionality, this class of algorithms cannot be used. In this paper, a new technique based on the genetic algorithm for constructing experimental designs is described.

A regional genetic algorithm (R-GA) is used for the discrete optimal design of truss structures. The chromosomes are selected from a sub-region centred on the continuous optimum. This approach replaces genetic rebirth as previously proposed by other authors, thereby signiΓΏcantly reducing computation
In this paper an elitist genetic algorithm (GA) developed by the authors is compared with common commercial solutions for complex structural optimization. After its prior validation on two-dimensional (2D) structures, the GA was tuned and improved in order to obtain structural elements with minimum
