Pseudo derivative evolutionary algorithm and convergence analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In this paper, a novel evolutionary algorithm (EA), called pseudo-derivative EA (called PDEA), is proposed. The basic idea of PDEA is to use pseudo-derivative, which is obtained based on the information produced during the evolution, and to help search ...

Elasto-Plastic limit analysis of reliability based geometrically nonlinear bi-directional evolutionary topology optimization

open access: yesStructures, 2021
This paper presents elasto-plastic limit analysis of reliability-based geometrically nonlinear topology optimization. For this purpose, by reason of uncertainties the volume fraction is considered randomly during optimization.
