Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 3019))

Abstract

This paper is devoted to applications of evolutionary algorithms into optimal design of nonlinear structures and identification of holes. The parallel and the distributed evolutionary algorithms are considered. The optimum criterion is to minimize the plastic strain areas and stress values or an identification functional. The fitness functions are computed using the finite element method or the coupled finite and boundary element method.
