A parallel nodal-based evolutionary structural optimization algorithm

This paper is concerned with the minimum weight design of structures using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). A new evolutionary structural optimization (ESO) algorithm is presented. This method departs from previous studies of ESO in that it exploits the movements of the nodes in an unstructured finite...
