Teknik Desain Optimasi Dengan Algoritma Genetik

Engineering design system by searching through the large number of possible solutions to discover the best specific solution. The search process is often time consuming and expensive. But by exploiting the natural processes that biological systems use to evolve and adapt, design engineers can often quickly solve otherwise difficult design problems that resist solution by traditional optimization methods. This paper explains the basic technique of the genetic algorithm and show how design engineers can use a genetic algorithm to solve real design engineering problems. This paper focuses on explaining how genetic algorithms work. A brief example at the and demonstrates how the practicing engineer can use this powerful technique to solve real world problems in engineering design. The example structural design problem uses a genetic algorithm to minimize the weight of a pin jointed frame, but the genetic algorithm can be applied to almost any type of design problem. Some more basic theoretical references are provided at the end for those interested in a more rigorous explanation of the details of genetic algorithms
