In the traditional iterative design process for composite structures, it is difficult to achieve an optimal solution even though a great effort is made. A genetic optimization system based on grid technology offers an automatic and efficient approach for composite structure redesign and optimization. A genetic algorithm system, which integrates Genetic Algorithm Optimization (GAO) software and a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) based commercial package, has been developed as a tool for composite structure design and analysis. The GAO is capable of tailoring large number of composite design variables and taking the time-consuming FEA results to calculate objective function value and conduct optimization in high accuracy. By operating the system employing the Grid technology and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method, significant time saving in numerical analysis can be achieved. A user friendly interface has also been built in the system. In the paper, aeroelastic tailoring of a composite wing has been taken as a numerical example to demonstrate the optimization approach. The numerical results show that an optimal design has been achieved to meet the design requirement.

The optimal design of interior permanent magnet synchronous motors requires a long time because finite element analysis (FEA) is performed repeatedly. To solve this problem, many researchers have used artificial intelligence to construct a prediction model that can replace FEA. However, because the training data are generated by FEA, it takes a very long time to obtain a sufficient amount of data, making it impossible to train a large-scale prediction model. Here, we propose a method for generating a large amount of data from a small number of FEA results using machine learning. An automatic design system with a deep generative model and a convolutional neural network is then constructed. With its sufficient data, the proposed system can handle three topologies and three motor parameters in a wide range of current vector regions. The proposed system was applied to multi-objective optimization design, with the optimization completed in 13-15 seconds.

An effective optimization method is developed for laminated composite structures using two-level optimization strategy based on Kriging model and genetic algorithm (GA). Firstly, the design of experiment (DOE) technique is used to create sample points and MSC.Nastran is employed to obtain the response (minimum weight subjected to bulking and strength constraints) of each sample point. Based on sample points and the corresponding responses, the Kriging model is formulated. Secondly, GA is performed to obtain the best thickness by optimizing the Kriging model as objective function. Then, the best stacking sequence is obtained basing on lamination parameters using GA. This paper takes a Z shape composite stiffened plate as example to verify the feasibility of the method above. The results illustrate that it can significantly save computational costs and can greatly improve the optimization efficiency.
