Title Of Article :
OPTIMAL DESIGN OF TRANSMISSION TOWERS USING GENETIC ALGORITHM
Abstract :
This study deals with the computational analyzes and weight optimization of transmission towers subjected to static loading. The finite element method is used to determine the stresses and displacements. An automated analysis and optimization procedure which integrate finite element analysis and numerical methods have been used for optimization. Also, a FORTRAN based genetic algorithm is implemented to search the optimum design. Three dimensional power transmission towers are dealt and size design variables are considered to demonstrate the efficiency of size optimization. Finally, the results that are obtained from this program by using different design variables are compared.
