Optimization of truss-structures for "nding optimal cross-sectional size, topology, and con"guration of 2-D and 3-D trusses to achieve minimum weight is carried out using real-coded genetic algorithms (GAs). All the above three optimization techniques have been made possible by using a novel represe

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
## Abstract In the process of discreteβsizing optimal design of truss structures by Genetic Algorithm (GA), analysis should be performed several times. In this article, the force method is employed for the analysis. The advantage of using this method lies in the fact that the matrices corresponding
