E-Constraint Guided Stochastic Search With Successive Seeding for Multi-Objective Optimization of Large-Scale Steel Double-Layer Grids
(Elsevier, 2022) Azad, Saeid Kazemzadeh; Aminbakhsh, Saman
This paper proposes a design-driven structural optimization algorithm named e-constraint guided stochastic search (e-GSS) for multi-objective design optimization of large-scale steel double-layer grids having numerous discrete design variables. Based on the well-known e-constraint method, first, the multi-objective optimization problem is transformed into a set of single-objective optimization problems. Next, each single-objective optimization problem is tackled using an enhanced reformulation of the standard guided stochastic search algorithm proposed based on a stochastic maximum incremental/decremental step size approach. Moreover, a successive seeding strategy is employed in conjunction with the proposed e-GSS algorithm to improve its performance in multi-objective optimization of large-scale steel double-layer grids. The numerical results obtained through multi-objective optimization of three challenging test examples, namely a 1728-member double-layer compound barrel vault, a 2304-member double-layer scallop dome, and a 2400-member double-layer multi-radial dome, demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed e-GSS algorithm in generating Pareto fronts of the foregoing multi-objective structural optimization problems with up to 2400 distinct sizing variables.

High-Dimensional Optimization of Large-Scale Steel Truss Structures Using Guided Stochastic Search
(Elsevier Science inc, 2021) Azad, Saeid Kazemzadeh; Aminbakhsh, Saman
Despite a plethora of truss optimization algorithms devised in the recent literature of structural optimization, still high-dimensional large-scale truss optimization problems have not been properly tackled basically due to the excessive computational effort required to handle the foregoing instances. In this study, application of a recently developed design-driven heuristic, namely guided stochastic search (GSS), is extended to a more challenging class of truss optimization problems having thousands of design variables. Two variants of the algorithm, namely GSSA and GSSB, have been employed for sizing optimization of four high-dimensional examples of steel trusses, i.e., a 2075-member single-layer onion dome, a 2688-member double-layer open dome, a 6000-member doublelayer scallop dome, and a 15048-member double-layer grid as per AISC-LRFD specification. The numerical results obtained indicate the efficiency of GSSA and GSSB in handling high-dimensional instances of large-scale steel trusses with up to 15048 discrete design variables.
