Robustness of optimal design solutions to reduce vibration transmission in a lightweight 2D structure, part 1: geometric design

A two-dimensional lightweight cantilever structure is studied, comprising 40 rigidly joined beams, of which the geometry is optimized to reduce vibration transmission over a given bandwidth. In this paper, the optimization is achieved by using genetic algorithms. Ten optimized design candidates were...
