A method for improving the performance of artificial neural networks for linear and nonlinear programming is presented. By analyzing the behavior of the conventional penalty function, the reason for the inherent degenerating accuracy is discovered. Based on this, a new combination penalty function is proposed which can ensure that the equilibrium point is acceptably close to the optimal point. A known neural network model has been modified by using the new penalty function and the corresponding circuit scheme is given. Simulation results show that the relative error for linear and nonlinear programming is substantially reduced by the new method.

This paper presents an implementation of Eurocode load cases for discrete global optimization algorithm for planar structures based on the principles of finite element methods and genetic algorithms. The final optimal design is obtained using IPE sections chosen as feasible by the algorithm, from the available steel sections from industry. The algorithm is tested on an asymmetric planar steel frame with promising results.
