Simulating and Synthesizing Substructures Using Neural Network and Genetic Algorithms

摘要

The feasibility of simulating and synthesizing substructures by computational neural network models is illustrated by investigating a statically indeterminate beam, using both a 1-D and a 2-D plane stress modelling. The bean can be decomposed into two cantilevers with free-end loads. By training neural networks to simulate the cantilever responses to different loads, the originial beam problem can be solved as a match-up between two subsystems under compatible interface conditions. The genetic algorithms are successfully used to solve the match-up problem. Simulated results are found in good agreement with the analytical or FEM solutions.
